FYI nationalist events in the UK absolutely feature big pictures of their royal, I know you said “the pictures” to be tactical but there’s also stuff not pictured.
Yes, there are nationalists events in nearly every country with big pictures of their leader, with varying prevalence and level of acceptance. In DPRK this is imposed. In some places that’s normalized, but not imposed. In other places that’s fringe and considered unhealthy level of adoration, and openly mocked, as it should be.
One of the pictures include a large display to the glory of dear leader.
Pretty insane that you can’t see the direct parallel between this and a literal fucking monarchy. They’ve made songs for them, built palaces, the entire country stopped and wept when the queen died… If a bunch of asians did that you’d be going on about their “glorious dear leader” without a hint of irony.
The monachy in the UK has the decorum but basically none of the power.
It’s fair and even fun to mock the UK monarchy decorum, but there’s no comparison between UK and DPRK in term of power held by the leader, and the level of totalitarism. The comparison in the post’s image is so ludicrous, I seriously wonder if that’s trolling, it’s hard to imagine someone really believing that while being outside of North Korea and having free access to information.
'Scept the monarchy thing is purely cringe nationalism; the british royalty have no power to actually govern - influence perhaps, but a shockingly small amount, and no authority to back it up. The other image is of the same kind of monarchy-esque celebration but for the leader of the government. That’s why it’s bad, it’s a monarchy-esque display but for someone who actually has a huge amount of power.
Nobody talks about the monarchy being a celebration of “dear leader” because it fundementally isn’t, the royal family aren’t leaders.
Your distinction of power is irrelevant and somewhat incorrect (the royals hold a great deal of power still). Both are forms of propaganda to manipulate the population. Acting like this distinction of power is some kind of show-stopping distinction between the two is purely a coping mechanism. Look how they got you…
Lmfao what? “It’s not different because I say it isn’t” just take the L here bud, the details of your compairson don’t hold up. It’s also highly relevant since it directly contradicts the incorrect assertions of the meme. The UK royals have no authority to govern or make policy. That’s going to be a really hard fact to get past, no matter how devastating to your argument it might be.
Dude I addressed the blatantly false premise your points were based on instead of the points themselves, because addressing them individually would imply a tacit acceptance of the faulty assertions they’re founded upon.
Yeah, I know you don’t. I’ll freely admit it was kinda self-indulgent to try and explain such a basic aspect of debate, and I was just happily dunking on you under the assumption it’d go over your head and you’d play off the superiority complex to try to save some face.
I notice you haven’t replied to the other commenter which laid out in much clearer terms what I’m saying here, and goes into more details about why you’re full o’ crap - if you’re so interested in an “adult conversation” why haven’t you just gone to engage with them instead?
Both are display of nationalism.
Those two nations have very different political systems. One of the pictures include a large display to the glory of dear leader.
Nationalism is a cancer in all aspects.

There are opposition groups and even an anti-monarchy group in the UK and their members don’t end up in prison camp for not being loyal to the royal family.

Sounds like you aren’t able to come up with a response to any of my points, so I’ll just assume you’re out of your depths here. Horrible.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Let me know when you’re ready for an adult conversation.
