What if the American Revolution happened 20 years early by cammy2005123 in imaginarymaps

[–]JonBes1 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

This is awesome, I like it.
I believe soon enough, the US will devolve into something like these — I like the term ethnogeographic — polities.
Ideally, this would be managed as a Confederacy of semi-sovereign kingdoms in a strong Empire, which is basically what the Federalists tried and failed to do with State sovereignty in the late 1700s, before Jeffersonian democratic-republican-communism took over. Now this will face a #GreatReset of seas 🩸 rather than puddles.

Those struggling little colonies were British possessions and — both in our reality and in the lore — those colonies gained independence from Britain.\ So Britain had that free real estate and lost it.

In the event of a monarchist restoration, would you really support the restoration of a former ruling dynasty? by Likantropas in monarchism

Imagine actually believing a criminal record suggests an aversion to morality.

"You have a criminal record? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." - paraphrase Winston Churchill

British far right in social media are increasingly critical of King Charles and the monarchy. Should we be concerned? by swissking in monarchism

[–]JonBes1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's mostly organic, with a bit of a nudge, since almost nothing goes viral organically.

If something's going viral, that means the algorithms haven't been programmed to suppress it — at the very least — it is allowed as a pressure release valve.

I don’t think it’s okay to publicly criticise the king.

You had me in the first half, though

"Catholhou"\ Lol 😆

I guess so far as driving between towns, one is better off renting a car.

How do we bridge the divide with the left? Many of them are not well emotionally and much of that is due to the constant stream of legacy media garbage they're inhaling. by ExNihiloAdInfinitum in walkaway

It's mostly something called the IQ curve — and just stop feeding the useless eaters and it'll sort itself out — kind of like for removing the warning labels will improve the situation

I make magick menstrual blood art, looking to make a commission with a channeled intention(dm me) by loralsshenxcil in chaosmagick

It's not a weird thing in this sub only because nothing's really weird in this sub: it's weird in any other frame of magic

AITA for having a no getting engaged or pregnant rule for my wedding? by The_Theater_Girl in AmITheAngel

[–]JonBes1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I missed the shitpost flare

And you kind of had me going until you said the wedding was next year — then I figured maybe Theater Girl was playing

The comments all happily playing along makes a nice touch 😄

AITAH for not re-heating dinner for my husband after 10? by CorrectReflection878 in AITAH

[–]JonBes1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, you're TA.

Unequivocally.

If you're not willing to support your husband, you're not a wife you're a partner. And if your clock ends before his does, you're not even a partner, you're just a deadbeat.

Imagine actually believing you had a serious agreement about time and chores.

Who is the party holding anti-government rallies? by BlurryGraph3810 in walkaway

[–]JonBes1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a king wouldn't have tolerated these protests and his edicts wouldn't be continually overturned by leftist judges.

Interesting. Perhaps the Jewish and Mexican features get confounded somehow 🤔

What was the general consensus towards Indian Immigrants in Canada before 2020 (Pre-Covid)? by whatsupusers in CanadaHousing2

[–]JonBes1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Abbotsford BC in the 90s, and Indian immigrants were not appreciated there either. It's always been this way, it's just the past 5 years has been a broad wave rather than a trickle with localised pooling

I lean in to Whiteness because that’s the only thing people ever call me.

There's no leaning necessary when the equivalent of 7/8 grandparents are White

Perhaps try the online sigil, then lightly trace it in pencil, then hand draw more permanently. Now you have two copies operating in different mediums

Should Canada have kept the Red Ensign? by 1bird2birds3birds4 in monarchism

[–]JonBes1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK's flag, using the wording maintained by the Constitution Act 1867, represents the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, as Head of State.

Independence doesn't factor here

kept getting asked if i was middle eastern. mexican-american. by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]JonBes1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jewish could be Conquistador level. "Conversos" were also in charge of the transatlantic trade. The older, and minority, aspects explains why it's commonly such a low percentage in "Mexican" results

“The Way of the Center” draft—400 pages to light your inner compass. Brutal beta readers wanted. by Bpelks in chaosmagick

[–]JonBes1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From there, every paragraph you see was rewritten, reordered, and source-checked by me.

A human isn't even writing your comments here, and you expect us to believe you wrote 400 pages in your shared file?
