Catherynne M. Valente
“Even if you hadn't entirely deposed (and possibly killed) not one but two governments and destabilized all sorts of political regions you couldn't even pronounce, let alone draft up constitutional monarchies for, even if you'd been far more careful about leaving your toys strewn about everywhere when you tire yourself out with anarchy and run on home, I'd say you really are the lowest sort.”
Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two

A.E. Samaan
“We have rule of lawyers, not rule of law. The legal profession has a monopoly over one branch of government as it was never intended to. The American Bar Association owns an entire branch of our government. We should not be surprised that we are the most litigious society in the world. It is big business with a stranglehold on one of the three branches of government.”
A.E. Samaan

Edmund Burke
“But as to our country and our race, as long as the well compacted structure of our church and state, the sanctuary, the holy of holies of that ancient law, defended by reverence, defended by power, a fortress at once and a temple, shall stand inviolate on the brow of the British Sion—as long as the British Monarchy, not more limited than fenced by the orders of the State, shall, like the proud Keep of Windsor, rising in the majesty of proportion, and girt with the double belt of it’s kindred and coeval towers, as long as this awful structure shall oversee and guard the subjected land—so long the mounds and dykes of the low, fat, Bedford level will have nothing to fear from all the pickaxes of all the levellers of France. As long as our Sovereign Lord the King, and his faithful subjects, the Lords and Commons of this realm, the triple cord, which no man can break; the solemn, sworn, constitutional frank-pledge of this nation; the firm guarantees of each others being, and each others rights; the joint and several securities, each in it’s place and order, for every kind and every quality, of property and of dignity—As long as these endure, so long the Duke of Bedford is safe: and we are all safe together—the high from the blights of envy and the spoliations of rapacity; the low from the iron hand of oppression and the insolent spurn of contempt.”
Edmund Burke, A Letter To A Noble Lord

“Monarchy is a violation of human rights, for it’s a mockery of equality, dignity and character.”

“It's a people's world, and people are to be the rulers, not some filthy, entitled, blue blooded nimrods.”

“Though monarchy and royalty are still considered a matter of pride in many uncivilized parts of the world, the day is not far when they'll be deemed a crime.”
Abhijit Naskar, Mücadele Muhabbet: Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier

“In my eyes the only rightful King or Queen is the one who dissolves their kingdom and establishes a democracy.”
Abhijit Naskar, Making Britain Civilized: How to Gain Readmission to The Human Race

Abhijit Naskar
“The royal family may be too primitive to look at the people as humans instead of their loyal subjects, but how can a civilized people of a civilized world be so dumb, so primitive, so lacking in self-respect, that they don't mind endorsing such passive, if not active, subjugation by complying to the moral anarchy of the british monarchy!”

“Real third world countries where proper democracy is still a dream, like England, China, Russia, North Korea and so on, they may fight to attain true democracy, but the nations that have had democracy for some time now, it's time for them to take the next step in the course of uplift. Which is what? Individual accountability. Which comes through how? Through absolute unification of the heart and the world.”
Abhijit Naskar, Dervish Advaitam: Gospel of Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers

Emiko Jean
“The Imperial Household Law stipulates that only men whose fathers are emperors may inherit the throne. However, some scholars may argue that such law violates the principle that men and women be treated equally as set forth in Article 14 of the constitution."
"You've studied the constitution?" The emperor eyes me keenly.
"Yes," I say evenly. Thank you, Mariko and Mr. Fuchigami. "Historically, there has been precedence for females to reign." I list off the eight empresses, speaking in my own self-interest. Might as well. Men have been doing it for years. "We might even argue the goddess Amaterasu was the first to rule," I say lightly.
My father smiles behind his hand.
The empress takes a sip of tea. "I am inclined to agree with you.”
Emiko Jean, Tokyo Ever After

“Barbarism, thy name is Britain. In this day and age, if any societal structure is a revolting blot on the fabric of the democratic world, it's not Russia or North Korea, but the not-so-great Britain.

The queen might have been a nice person, I don't know. But when a person is declared the supreme authority (head of state) of an entire people by birth, it's not something to take pride in, rather it's something to be ashamed of.

Britain may mourn the death of the queen as a person, but no land deserves to be called civilized while mourning the death of a monarch. Let me put this into perspective. Almost every week a country celebrates independence from britain - if this doesn't tell you why the monarchy is the antithesis of everything that is civilized, nothing can.

I wonder, they can throw a homeless man in jail for lifting a bread out of hunger, yet the empire walks free, even after raping, pillaging and looting from 90% of the world's countries!

Where is the ICC (International Criminal Court) now, when one monarch after another sits on the throne, wielding the crown jewels encrusted with national treasures stolen from all over the globe!”
Abhijit Naskar, Corazon Calamidad: Obedient to None, Oppressive to None

Abhijit Naskar
“When the descendants of a brutish empire continue to represent and maintain the authority of that empire, such descendants do not deserve even an ounce of respect from civilized humans, any more than their ancestors do, let alone be declared head of state. It'd be like respecting a neonazi for advocating for a new confederate America.”
Abhijit Naskar, Corazon Calamidad: Obedient to None, Oppressive to None

Mencius Moldbug
“If, in 1688, you had insisted that the concept of a “constitutional monarchy” was a contradiction in terms, that “constitutional” simply meant “symbolic” and the upshot of the whole scheme would simply be a return to the rule of Parliament, you were a Jacobite. Plain and simple.
And you were also dead wrong—for about two centuries. Most of the royal powers died with George III, but even Queen Victoria exercised a surprising amount of authority over the operations of “her” government. No longer.”
Mencius Moldbug, An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives

“Beyond King and Crumpet
(Uncoronation Sonnet)

There's not one but two UKs -
one is United Kingdom,
where animals worship a king,
another is United Kin-dom,
where humans live as kin.

Storm's coming! Huts and homes
of the humble will thrive,
while castles and palaces
of thieves will crumble.
Either we are explorers
of equality and dignity, or
we are crown worshipping animal.

Putting all kings and queens to bed,
Citizens must come out and work the soil.
Enough chasing the parade of dead meat,
March your own parade, tackling turmoil!

Crown, cross and rigid constitution,
Mindlessness has taken many a form.
Beyond the fetish of king and crumpet,
Beckon the rays of an honorable dawn.”

“When a philandering ass is declared head of state, and the other woman sleeps her way to the throne, it's not a moment of national pride, it's an outlandish declaration of national pestilence.”
Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat
