#StarWars#TheHighRepublic is great because it fills a spot hitherto untouched in the world but it's also incredibly frustrating for me to read anything about the #nihil because I fundamentally do not believe they'd be able to pull of half of the stuff they do in these books and comics
Like the nihil strike me as the star wars equivalent to #ancaps combined with rich kids appropriating #punk aesthetics and I'm supposed to buy that not only could they sieze large swathes of #republic territory but actually hold and govern it for over a year in-universe?
Given the amount of #injustice in the #starwars universe I'd probably barely make it to #jediknight before succumbing to the dark side, I'd react so strongly to it and not want to be restricted by the #jedi or #republic

Grothman attempts to lecture Raskin on the use of the word ‘Republic’ in the pledge of allegiance. Raskin provides Grothman with a history lesson
It beggars belief. If people wish to be courtiers, then fine - on your own money and in your own time - that goes for the ‘Royal’ Family.

#MarkMeadows didn’t semi-cooperate til he faced prison
Trump enablers ain’t sorry. Just sorry they got caught
Hicks is no hero
She rode Trump’s coattails to power and fame until literally the last moment and even then she was more concerned about her own reputation than about the fate of our #republic
"We are devolving into a democracy, because congressmen and senators are elected by the same pool.... We do not want to be a democracy.....
"We encourage Republicans to substitute the words ‘republic’ and ‘republicanism’ where previously they have used the word ‘democracy'.... Every time the word ‘democracy’ is used favorably it serves to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, the principles of which we ardently oppose....
Actually, rather than ending #SaturdayNightCoinShow on the Vichy #France 2 francs, here is the coin which succeeded it. The same design was used before the war, which sees the reinstatement of Marianne, the cornucopia, and Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity). #WWII#Republic#History#Numismatics#Coins#Cornucopia
Understand that we are up against a #whiteSupremacist#cult in November 2024. Millions of #Americans have decided that the #Nazis were right, and their #ideology should reign supreme in the #UnitedStates. This isn't #fearmongering. This is the #reality we are facing. Voting Blue is the only hope we have of preserving our #republic. If we fail, we'll never again have another opportunity to #vote.
Did i hear correctly that Piers Morgan had said something about the king of England and the future queen of England making potentially #racist comments about an unborn child? Surely not.
If #Trump is allowed to return to the #WhiteHouse, our #republic is done. He's planning on an #agenda of #vengeance and #retribution; openly leveraging the power of #government to literally persecute his perceived enemies, and anyone else who says mean things about him. He will declare the end of the #Constitution, and try to impose an #authoritarian regime based on his personal glorification. I don't want to live in that nightmare, so please #voteBlue!
It would seem that because I oppose the 'core British value' of the #monarchy and support transition to a #republic, the #Tory government in Westminster consider me an #extremist.

Resistance to his candidacy is not futile.
