Slaughtering the Imperial Family was a crime so egregious even for its time that they burned the corpses with acid to make them unrecognisable and even went so far as dumping them in separate ditches in an attempt to cover up the incident so that it could not be traced back.
Frankly the moment Canada abolishes the monarchy is the moment Canadian identity (and therefore Canada itself) becomes obsolete. You might as well vote to join the United States
"Canada should..."
Have an elected head of state: 46%
Remain a monarchy: 23%
Don't care either way: 21%

In celebration of Bastille Day, let's explore the greatest treasures of France. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast or a nature lover, this list captures the essence of French heritage and the spirit of liberté, égalité, fraternité.
The fact that the leader of the biggest governing party in the Netherlands can just casually make fun of other world leaders like a regular shitposter without triggering a diplomatic incident because he is not part of cabinet is low-key hilarious
@Canadain_Andrew
Yes of course lol, I thought that was obvious. The corpses were only recent dug up during the time of the Russian federation. So the Soviet Union had to fall for that to happen lol. Disgusting.
No, the NSDAP was not a monarchist party just because monarchists happened to vote for it. This is just a distortion of history. Monarchisn has to actually be in their political program for a party to count as monarchist.
The Holocaust was directly organized by German monarchists lmfao.
Erdoğan came to power 80 years after the abolition of the Sultanate. Quite obviously, no direct relation between those two events.
You know, if you were Italian I’d expect you to know that the Vittoriano, the monument pictured here, is a tribute to Victor Emmanuel II, the first monarch of the united Italy
To people who do not understand the significance of this this is for Americans like when the President takes the oath of office and then goes live on tv complaining that he had to swear allegiance to the constitution, something he didn’t believe in. Filthy oathbreakers.
As a republican I was forced to swear an allegiance I didn’t believe, to the king and his heirs and successors, or I wouldn’t be allowed to be an MP. This is 21st century so-called British democracy Follow

Sorry to be the one to break it to you but art is inherently political....especially one portraying politicians?! also as if I am taking advice from a lowly monarchist in the first place 💀
The Bengal famine was quite literally a result of Japan cutting off and sinking food supply headed towards India…a fact you do not seem to mind much seeing your PFP featuring Imperial Japan. And just so you know, the 45 bazillion $ mark is ridiculously laughable.
The British empire caused 165 million deaths in India in 40 years. A new study found that British colonialism caused approximately 165 million deaths in India from 1880 to 1920. The British stole $45tn in just over 200 years.
This is what the empire was really like, starvation
So it turned out the murdered woman in that truck was neither a colonist nor an IDF soldier, but a *tourist*.
This is what people are defending hamas from.
BREAKING:
The woman whose body was seen on video in the back of a pick-up truck driven by Palestinian terrorists to Gaza has been identified.
30-year-old Shani Louk was a German citizen visiting Israel to attend the music festival for peace held near the Gaza border fence.
We should all remember His late Majesty King Umberto II, who was fundamentally a great person and whose enormous courage and loyalty towards this country saved us from a bloody civil war when he could well have challenged the referendum results. I have great respect for this man.
78 years since the illegitimate referendum. Does anyone make a mockery of democracy better than democratic republicans? (We all know the answer to that, don't we?).
We pray the Italian Crown and the House of Savoy rise again someday.
A monarchist system actually benefits communists and fascists more than a republican one, republicanism prevents both forms of 20th century authoritarianism by eliminating the 16th century authoritarianism that creates the prerequisits for the former to come about.
I’m not one of those people who obsessively rant against tourism in my country, but you just have to love the smugness with which these cretins are so confidently wrong. Stay in your lane, smartass. Preferably do not come back here.
Pic: tourism as share of European economies
I'm sick of this false dichotomy between Monarchism and democracy. This is manipulation.
Democracy means "rule of the people", not "elections for everything", hence there is no contradiction between the two.
Riddle me this generic twitter user, how do you surmise the North voted so overwhelmingly for Republic?
Hmm, it couldn’t possibly have been that the extended presence of a certain dictator there could have possibly influenced voting patterns with antimonarchist propaganda.
@KaiserKat04
Considering that Vittorio Emanuele III made Mussolini head of the government, I don’t think how relevant what you’re saying is lmao, also considering republicans were the ones fighting fascism as partisans.
1)ended slavery for the whole world
2)defeated napoleon and French hegemony on the continent
2)gave us the industrial revolution and the world as we know it today
3)stood alone against the Nazis in WWII without whom Europe would have been lost forever
@ArchyPunished
Yeah they definitely need to update those succession laws to allow women to inherit
And no, before you say anything, it’s not the fault of the imperial family that they still have Salic law
It’s the Japanese parliament that has to legislate on this
As polyamory gains wider acceptance, having multiple partners is still far from a legal right.
Our latest longread looks at the rise of polyamory and talks to Canadians who are loving more than one person:
France chooses to make train signs in Chinese but not in Arabic - the language of over 6 million French citizens and residents. And they wonder why there’s no integration in France!
1) Monarchs are indeed unelected. Cope & seethe
2) Yes, and? The Lords consistently vote better than the Commons.
3) All prime ministers are unelected. You elect your MPs not your government.
@mary_ndlela
Nobody forced her to marry into the British Royal Family. She knew full well what she was getting herself into & chose it nonetheless & later complained about what she herself had personally decided.
I’m begging, can we stop using the word “mating” when referring to human companionship? We are above literal animals whose only goal in life is to reproduce and pass on their genes to the next generation. How soulless and ghoulish.
I find Slazac to be one of the most insufferable people on Euro twitter but it takes a special kind of thick in order to not understand that he was *mocking*, not endorsing the formation of a new far-right block in the EP.
white people will invade and destabilize your countries for decades, fund genocidal apartheid states, and then call your people "hostile and insane" for the fallout of the mess they created
Hasan Piker fans are great. You'll suggest that maybe the hedonistic narcissist who owns expensive property in a chic neighborhood and drives around in sports cars is not sincere in his claim to support a redistributive socialist revolution and they can't believe you'd think that
Getting the urge to ban influencers from the European Parliament. Not that the European Parliament had much dignity to begin with, but this should be considered an affront on the dignity of Parliament. These influencers are making a mockery of the institution. How ridiculous.
You won’t learn this in school.
This is Leopold II of Belgium
He was the private owner of Congo.
He made Congolese labour on rubber plantations, chopping off the limbs of those who failed to meet the daily quota.
He ruled the Congo for 23 years, and 10 million people
This is ridiculous.
Why do the SNP keep using the official Scottish government (not just the twitter account) to host an essentially permanent independence campaign? This is just beyond reproach.
After independence, we would pursue the removal of nuclear weapons from Scotland as quickly and as safely as possible.
Scotland’s position would be similar to the approach of most NATO member countries, which neither possess nor host nuclear weapons.
“We’re not a democracy, we’re a republic.”
…Why do Americans say this? Do they not understand that “republic” and “democracy” are not mutually exclusive terms (and neither mutually inclusive)?
What they really mean is “We’re not a direct democracy, we’re an indirect democracy.”
You know Socialists base their entire ideology on false narratives and have no clue about history when they claim that The Russian Imperial Family and the Russian upper class were “bourgeois”. Sure, why not claim they were liberals too while you’re at it?
Sometimes I wonder how amazing it must have felt to have been a Bolshevik who stormed the Winter Palace. Centuries of bourgeois oppression finally put to an end by a mass movement of the working class. Perhaps the most beautiful and amazing achievement in all of human history.
Masked Palestinian activist completly DESTROYS historic British painting by slashing it with a knife and spray painting it.
The activist from the Palestine Action group ruined the Lord Balfour painting in Trinity College, University of Cambridge using a box cutter Stanley knife
"Acktually if you look at GDP statistics then you can see Germany is poorer than Mississippi 🤓🤠."
No, Mississippi is not richer than Germany lmao. It only looks that way because the dollar is the world reserve currency, which means that its strenth is independent of ...
The correlation between the fall of the monarchy and the rise of the Nazis is plain for all too see. Denying this is denying the obvious.
It's quite self evident that the fall of the German Monarchy left a power vacuum that the Nazis took advantage of.
@thegaywhostrayd
Plenty of African, European, and Latin American countries have similar laws. Even if it’s decriminalized, jungle justice makes life hell for gays. Certain parts of Italy would be a nightmare for me. Should we ban Italians from the US? Christ calls us to love our enemies.
“Neofascist Italy”
Give it a rest already. These terms are not descriptive of and are not relevant for modern Italy. Stop trying to desperately resurrect the past.
To me, Monarchy is the embodiment of everything good.
Nobility. Majesty. Sacrifice. Duty.
Orderliness. Stability. Etiquette. Formality.
Art. Culture. Beauty. Traditions. History.
A reflection of divine nature. Mystery. Magic. A higher calling.
These people exist in an alien reality, where up is down, left is right, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. It cannot be explained otherwise.
“Republics worsen rivalries, while monarchies sooth them-Because Presidents are elected by [political] alliances, while Monarchs have to be above politics. This characteristic makes monarchy all the more pressing and modern in an era full of hate.”—Camillo Langone
Actually socialists are correct in identifying problems and feeling a void with our modernist capitalistic conception of society. Their mistake is that they (incorrectly) believe that void to be of material, rather than of spiritual nature.
This is such a cope lol.
Buckingham Palace easily wins against the White House. Not even comparable. And it’s not even that good among all the other Palaces on the European Continent
Imagine seeing this footage and thinking "It's because they are an inferior people".
Shameful. Soulless. Ghoulish. Evil.
Genuinely I wish *you* were born in Haiti so you would understand the living conditions they are existing under.
Haitians eating dirt has nothing to do with being poor, but has to do with the types of people they are.
Take 1000 Europeans and place them somewhere with absolutely nothing.
Make it even harder for them, and destroy a city and then place them there.
They won’t eat a dirt
Europe needs to be led by the French. They're not the best. But at least they're not arrogantly insane robots like the Germans, or whatever cocktail mess of self loathing and craziness the Brits are these days.
At least the French are realistically minded people.
Marxists pretending that race and culture are the same thing in order to smear you in a discussion about assimilation actually make a stronger argument against immigration, since if culture was determined by race, and it was impossible to assimilate immigrants…
My Goodness why are House Republicans so incompetent
JUST PASS UKRAINE AID AND THE DEMOCRATS WILL APPROVE ISRAEL AID IN EXCHANGE, IT REALLY ISN'T THAT COMPLICATED
Pakistan:

Pakistan's plea for U.S. support against the growing threat of TTP militants has faced silence as Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir's recent visit to the United States has yields no commitment from Washington. Despite cross-border threat posed by Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan and its

This lie that Royalty are billionaires is a myth. Musk and Bezos are more wealthy than King Charles. The illusion of their wealth comes from Real Estate which they don’t actually own (like Buckingham Palace), with a few exceptions like Balmoral Castle.
Britain’s State Opening of Parliament. A nation watches a billionaire sit on a gold chair, wearing a diamond hat - because he has 'magic blood' - while they struggle to feed their kids, pay their mortgages, & put food on the table. They're made to pay for it all too.
