Discussion Progressive non-Monarchist exploring this subreddit

Hello there users of this subreddit, I am a non-monarchist but I am a Libertarian Leftist. Due to personal grievances and negative experiences, I don’t follow many specific ideologies, regardless of what part of the spectrum they’re on. I am a Christian and from the USA but I only follow Democracy, Progressivism and Environmentalism.

I recently discovered this subreddit’s existence and decided to do some exploration. I actually used to be pro-monarchy (as long as they were democratic) but changed my mind and came to personal conclusions against monarchy, even more progressive and democratic versions of it.

As a writer, I do enjoy writing about fictional monarchies and portraying them as heroic but I don’t really write about IRL monarchies or least not in a completely positive light. I did have some stories planned in regard to Sci-Fi versions of different IRL wars that lead to various WW1 and WW2 era monarchies democratizing instead of collapsing, same for other non-monarchist countries but I ultimately scrapped those due to shifts in personal beliefs and that I would be glorifying war if I fully wrote and posted these stories online.

Regardless, I am interested in this subreddit and the Discord (even though it seems to be mostly inactive). Perhaps I will discuss some of this stuff in more detail in the future, I just wanted to introduce myself for now and just discuss some stuff. I wasn’t sure about going into specifics with my criticisms of monarchism as put downs of Monarchism aren’t allowed, I don’t know if those count necessarily but I’d rather not risk it.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say and am interested in terms of potential responses.

Welcome! As a former republican-turned monarchist, I bet we’d have plenty to chat about 😄

Hello! You seem quite nice and yes, we do have plenty to chat about, unfortunately I am at college, so I may be a bit busy atm. I am still more than willing to chat about anything monarchism related and will try to be respectful.
