Not sure why that guy hated fast food culture, you have a Burger King and Dairy Queen right there

"Mister Garibaldi, what are you doing?"
Getting drunk and/or arguing with Londo (aka Emperor Mollari II), of course.

Thank you! I had a real blast doing this, but it took me a while to work up the courage to actually listen to the episode since I always have to fight a sneaking suspicion I've made a fool of myself with such things.
By the grace of Lemon, it wasn't actually a painful listen at all. It helped me remember why I couldn't speak for pretty much an entire week.
Anyway, enjoy this lovely image to accompany the episode:

You got it! For some fun context, when I said that I was also imagining Brendan Small as the shrinking president-king.

Emperor1009's LiveJournal is saved on Archive.org as of 2008 (https://web.archive.org/web/20080513140344/https://solarmonarchy.livejournal.com/). The first four posts are as follows:
"The Alex Jones Radio Show" with a link to the Wikipedia site for New World Order, Micronation, Self-determination, and Succession.
"David Icke - Talking about 'Repeaters'"
"2012: An Awakening"
"Duran Duran: View To A Kill"
Also, how the fuck are you a monarchist and a fan of Code Geass? The whole point of that show was destroying a monarchy. That and selling pizza.

I'm an anarchist and also a giant nerd, so I actually have some context for what an anarcho-monarchist is. Firstly it's an ideology that most anarchists hold to be about as ridiculous and contradictory as you do, for fairly obvious reasons. It's probably got more claim to being an actual form of anarchism than fucking anarcho-capitalism though, which anarchists pretty much universally agree is not actually a form of anarchism. It's basically the idea that the monarch should exist as a divinely ordained religious and moral leader, like a sort of moral exemplar that society can aspire to, but without any of the hierarchical power structures of a normal monarchy. It's sort of a way to square anarchist tendencies and beliefs with the weird psychology of living in a culture where having a monarch is a big part of your national identity. It's kind of what J.R.R. Tolkien believed which is why he comes up in this discussion several times, because he developed a healthy distrust of authority by witnessing the horrors of the first World War, but was also very British to the point that he could not have straightforwardly good politics and so he ended up in a weird an kind of incoherent place.
I don't understand it either but I think some of the people who hold to it have their hearts in the right place, for what it's worth.

That's a nice sentiment and all, but as a counterpoint, the people on the forum covered think it's perfectly fine. For some other examples of things they think are perfectly fine re-listen to the start of this episode! Or read the stuff we decided not to cover about Prince Andrew! Actually no don't. The correct call was made.
-
Your pedantry was correct and will bother me for hours.
Sentence to make an internet commenter cum
-
The thing with the anarcho-monarchism is that while I understand someone being distrustful of authority but too British to say "fuck the queen", everyone in this episode was American, so they don't have that excuse.
-
I once met a guy in real life who described himself as a “monarchical libertarian anarchist,” and he was unable to explain this ideology to me in a way that made sense. He used the pope’s sovereignty over Vatican City as an example, but that didn’t really help.
I would not say that I think his “heart was in the right place,” but I do kind of wish more right-wingers would go in that direction, just because it’s more fun to argue with someone who has this weird set of beliefs than with normal conservatives.

A comment from Breakfast sent me back to the forums briefly, and while I didn't find what I hoped for, I did find royalcello's crisis of faith.
I am tired of things not going the way I want. I should have been British and not all those disgusting egalitarian idiots who vote Labour or Lib Dem or SNP or Green. David Cameron should represent the most left-wing view that is permitted. If the 20% of the population who are against the monarchy were eliminated as they ought to be things would be very different. I am so sick of 21st-century political realities.
(...)
Sorry but I can't stand it that people who are against the monarchy live in Britain and I don't. It is a cosmic injustice. Why were they born there and not me? It's enough to challenge my belief in God sometimes. I'm incapable of tolerance on this issue and yes I do get exasperated but that doesn't mean my bitter hatred for anti-monarchists is not real. They have already ruined so many countries and the fact that they want to ruin more and take away what little we have left makes me quiver with fury. I believe in tolerance for almost all other sorts of people and beliefs but draw the line at abolitionist republicanism and could not be friends with a "British" person who openly advocated abolishing the monarchy. There is more forgiveness in my heart for common criminals.

What a pathetic thing to dedicate one's life to.

I'd love to hear each person's different read on that thing.

Edit since Twitter isnt showing the tweet thread. Here's the context
Monarchist can't stop posting monarchy to his company social media account, loses his business clients who don't want to deal with that shit

I think that J.R.R. Tolkien specifically had his heart in the right place, I won't vouch for any of the others. Why an American would hold these views I cannot comprehend. Congenital propensity for bootlicking?
-
Monarchism is perfectly understandable if you're a catholic weirdo who believes that god is approving the monarch. Which is an absurd belief if you look at pretty much any historical monarch at all, or in fact question it in any way.

You know what I would've loved from this subject? Serfplay bdsm. Then I'd at least buy that they actually understand what they want. Plus they'd talk just as dumb but in funnier ways.

That was something that was on my list of things to look for when the topic was monarchists in general, before I found this forum and everything else got thrown out. I'm sure there's something out there...

Listened to this one again and Sauce shouting cracked me up every time. I love that the super long post starts with extolling the virtues of short posts.
I'd like to think that anarcho-monarchism is where everyone is a monarch.

This is definitely the part of the post I'm bulbing. I definitely wouldn't bulb that other bit, don't be silly.

I feel like this is one of the missing pieces of the puzzle, that lots of these people are deranged religious fanatics in some way. Like, deranged even by the standards of crazy reactionaries kind of deranged. I feel like that's one of the most probably explanations for why someone from Tulsa or wherever would be ride or die for the Hapsburgs in the Year of Our Lord 2023. Some of them are also LARPers, like the reactionary equivalent of the internet Stalinists who go around dressed in Soviet military uniforms. Folks who, if their lives had gone differently, could have just joined the SCA or something but instead they're arguing about why we should try to reinstate Emperor Maximilien for reasons that do not make sense to a sane person.

I wonder if there'll be enough material for a minisode after Charles dies.
