Currently, the Collective West is looking for contingency plans in cases the US plunges into another 4 years of isolationism and “America First” policy.
I’ve just read that my own “democratically elected” government is introducing new compulsory “Islam” classes in all schools including non-religious schools. (The number of religious schools has jumped from 500 or so to 2000 or so).
In times like this, I am becoming a little nostalgic of the old days. In Europe and Quebec there are even people who are known as “royalists” and/or “loyalists”. I think the idea is not that crazy after all. Not that it is applicable today in anyway. The only role a “monarch” can have today is a purely symbolic role as it is the case in England, Norway, Belgium, Spain etc…
Yet, if you do back 500 years, most people were exactly the way they were today, with the only difference that they were illiterate, had no access to mass media and/or social media etc. So priests / Imams were taking care of the spiritual and monarchs were taking care of worldly issues (while remaining attached to the Vatican and/or to some other religious authorities).
So it worked
No more internet trolls, no more fox news, no more Qatari MBS making decisions that are going completely against scientific realities. It’s just the word of one man (appointed by God). So if we are headed for disaster, it’s the will of God for us to head to disaster.
I, personally, would go back to that era if I could. What we have now, it’s clearly not working.
