SUPREME EXECUTIVE POWER DERIVES FROM A MANDATE FROM THE MASSES, NOT FROM SOME FARCICAL AQUATIC CEREMONY.
>the king gets baptized in your path
>Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
HELP HELP I'M BEING REPRESSED.
Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.
Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.
Because the issues in question mostly stem from violence
>Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.
/thread
tldr: leviathan by thomas hobbs read it
Didn't the guy who wrote the original book actually kind of believe that? He was into "natural hierarchy" and authority as supreme. It was the movie satirized that ideology.
I'm a Heinlein enjoyer and this line is line really fun for sticking to pussy college types, but violence really isn't the highest order of authority.
Your capacity for violence can increase and decrease depending on social cohesion, and that cohesion itself can be more or less effective depending on it's values. It's why communists always lose despite being violent morons, and paradoxically Puritan cultures became so strong from having a good work ethic even though they are pacifist.
The American Civil War, The North's superior violence was settled culturally long before the war actually started.
>Blocks your path

I hate The Mob so fricking much its unreal.

>SUPREME EXECUTIVE POWER DERIVES FROM A MANDATE FROM THE MASSES
That's certainly an opinion.

so he pulled the sword from the stone
then how'd he lose it and the lake lady get it later
or did he become unworthy for something and have to quest or repent or whatever to get it back
Arthur never pulled Excalibur from the stone. That was a different sword Its fake news made up by democrats.
I know this is a shitpost but
It depends on which version of the Arthurian legend you prefer. In older versions the Sword in the Stone is Excalibur, but at the end of Arthur's life he tosses it into a lake, where a water nymph (or possibly a type of dryad like creature) catches it for safe keeping until the next King of England is worthy to posses it. That's the Lady of the Lake.
In newer versions of the tale (still medieval though), the Sword in the Stone is NOT Excalibur but a random unnamed sword. Arthur breaks it in a duel with another King, and the Lady of the Lake comes forth and bestows Excalibur, the sword of Kings on Arthur, giving him the right to rule all England.
Who put the sword in the stone?
Julius Caesar
The sword in the stone is not Excalibur.
>KING OF THE WHO?
THE BRITONS.
As a kid I always ideologically agreed, rationally and logically about "mandate from the masses"
But growing up I realised the "masses" are completely brain rotted, braindead npcs who all wear masks and get vaccines like lobotomised morons for a virus that didn't even exist
Now I KNOW as UNDISPUTED FACT that a farcical aquatic ceremony and a watery tart threw a sword at you is unironically a genuine, superior, cosmic, universal indication of supreme power. Not the masses of idiot sub-humans NPCs
It ultimately doesn't matter whether the masses are smart or not. They simply don't have the right to usurp their father the king. A very basic understanding of simple property rights is the strongest argument for Absolutism. Anything else is theft and robbery.
>some guy steals the land
>three generations later it's "his by right"
The land belongs to those who keep it.
>The land belongs to those who keep it.
Then we deserve what's coming to use.
Yup. All because of Them.
Don't blame the scorpion when it stings you dumb frog.
We deserve to lose to whoever is able to beat us.
Squidward if real
Absolutism was justified by the social contract. Read some history before you go on about muh divine right to rule christcuck
This guy's got it right. The mandate of the masses is an idealistic meme when all you truly need to rule is control the military and the pursestrings
and how did that work out for every single dictatorship?
yes please take away more right and freedoms and give more power to three letter agencies good thinking my fellow serf
>solipsist moron c**t thinks he's the only real human
you're the real npc in this thread
>YOU GET NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR!
>SUPREME EXECUTIVE POWER DERIVES FROM A MANDATE FROM THE MASSES
False, supreme executive power derives from the economic and military power under those who have the political skill to wield such power. A "mandate of the masses" is simply manufactured consent or religious brainwashing in order to make the serfs submissive.
medieval mandate was derived from god, everyone back then would have told you that

In that case he was and they were. Jan 6 was a peaceful protest opposing oppression. The Biden regime staged a coup.
Weak bait tbh
There's no "bait". What am I trying to "bait"? I stated facts.
>ruled by the masses?
>spare me, I’d rather be ruled by an exclusive elite that has no reason to take the interest of me or my peers
Do you bootlickers not understand that you are just as much part of the masses as anyone else?
They're either trolling or are stupid enough to believe life was better when people were ruled by tyrants who answered to no one.
You are too moronic to understand that an exclusive elite will always rule over you, whether they pretend that the power is with the masses or not.
Yet you participate in society, curious. I am very smart.
Communism has no place.
The ideal is a balance that allows individuals to maximally self-govern free from the tyranny of elites or the masses.
I liked how they did it in the Broadway version

Any other good goofy comedy plays like this?
I like the movie a lot, but the musical improves upon it.
Here's one of my favorites, a musical called Anything Goes, its a classic screwball comedy from 1934, but doesn't feel dated at all. This is a bootleg of a version that ran on Broadway in 2011.
Some great music as well, basically every song in it is a standard.
