In 1066 when the battle of Hastings saw the defeat of the Saxons, to the magma carta in 1215, the very roots Of western civilization were planted. It was the emergence of the philosophies of the uniqueness of the individual and while no man’s institution is perfect, the English monarchy represents a constant lineage to the birthing cries that true American experiment is built.
Queen Elizabeth famously spoke to the subjects of the crown in some of the darkest times famously saying to a Uk twice — until we meet again during some of the darkest moments of her life and the greatest challenges in modern history.
Your rant merely continues to demonstrate the ongoing division of western civilization which in my judgment is our greatest threat to the rugged individualism we conservatives are supposed to support. Not to mention a complete ignorance of fhe history of western civilization.
We used to study western civilization and its history. Learning it’s greatness and understanding it’s blemishes. Seeing the emergence of the individual rights over time. Leading to self government. But, I guess the connections to history are lost on you. In these divisions comes the planting of the seeds of tyranny.
I am shocked at the lack of awareness and education we have slipped into hit at least the internet allows us to see why we no longer revere the greatness of our history.
I've come to think that "rugged individualism" is itself a threat to the West. We Westerners lean toward individualism, but the individual can never stand up against a tribe.
Individualism only works so long as you're not being invaded by tribes that favor their own. At that point, you either unite with and favor your tribe, or be destroyed.
The founders understood that:
I’ve been finding a lot of this sort of stuff on the internet.
The wealthy are openly hated by many on the Left.
Jealousy rears it ugly head.
The wealthy are hated by elements of the Right, but in very quiet ways.
The death of the Queen who is one of the most wealthiest in the world give those that secretly hate rich folks their platform.
