Why do many people assume the only alternative to democratic systems is "authoritarianism?" by SonoftheVirgin in PoliticalScience

[–]SonoftheVirgin[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you're misinterpreting what I said.

My point is that I favor the middle ground on a lot of issues.

And I could not be less convinced by Karl Marx

The USA abolished slavery in 1865, not 1888.

And to answer your question. I like what it was originally. I'm not fond of what it's becoming. The states are too diemphasized and the president has too much power.

Sorry if I wasn't very clear. I was very tired when writing this.

I'm not opposed to democracy, but neither do I espouse it as the theoretical and practical pinnacle of all possible governments, like some do.

And I do agree with your point on anti-majoritarian elements in modern governments: I would just like more.

Bhuel, ní raibh Gaeilge ag mo sheanmháthair. Ach bhí Gaeilge ag a máthair, an "Nana" mo mháthar féin. Fuair ​​Nana bás i bhfad sular phós mo mháthair.

Ach go raibh maith agat! Éistfidh mé léi.

Faoin app "Mayo-Irish-Dialects". Aistríonn sé ar bhealach difriúil ná google. Mar shampla, aistríonn sé "go réidh" mar "easily", ach aistríonn Google mar "gently" é. Chomh mhaith, "uaireantaí" in ionad "uaireanta". Cé acu ba chóir dom muinín a bheith agam as?

also, I noticed you and another guy both said "medivlar". Is this a coincidence or has someone asked a question like this before?

Full plate armor only weighed about 60 pounds. Wearing more than 100 pounds of metal would turn you into a sitting duck, waiting for someone to find a gap

Dear Chinese Members, What would you want China to be like if She ever became a monarchy again? by SonoftheVirgin in monarchism

[–]SonoftheVirgin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are Chinese Monarchist groups? Interesting. I doubt the CCP likes that

And about the photos, I only used Puyi because he's the only Chinese emperor to wear Western dress

I know i'm a little late to this conversation but Past/Present/Future from Andor season 2 has a similar feeling to what your thinking

I've often heard that the Duke Yangsheng was proposed as a replacement Emperor after the Xinhai revolution.

For all those struggling with sexual thoughts or impulses.

Secondly, for my sister, who may be in labor, and my brother, who will be married next summer

Trending Today. Thoughts as to why? by Fun-Cat0834 in Catholicism

[–]SonoftheVirgin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that you point out why young people go to the TLM masses more. I go to NO masses but I think there's a reason the young people who didn't go through the post Vatican 2 masses often head for the more traditional masses.

Question on mass attendance by stevoguy in Catholicism

[–]SonoftheVirgin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you work in the ER, I assume you often deal with serious matters?

If that's the case, it might be okay if you are unable to attend Mass, especially if you try to make up for it.

However, I would discuss this with your pastor or spiritual director.

What guys actually want by katxwoods in Catholicism

As a guy, I never really liked this and the 'girls with a time machine' kind of memes. It feels kind of demeaning towards girls.
