And there's apparently some movement around obsessions around appearance, ie viewing politicians based on how they look, how they take care of their own body and any perceived "deformities" genetically. I have seen elements of that type of thinking from some young men... it's great to have some standards, but wow. The clip was apparently from this interview.

My mindset has always been we can't really vote ourselves out of mistakes that we have already made. At some point, the bill becomes due. Things like inflation, for example, are indicative of type of wild west economics that we've allowed to become the norm... it applies to social as well, imo.

On the topic, I don't think that the monarchy is no longer relevant, but I'm not sure what the King, Will can do about that kind of thing. We can only repeat positive platitudes for so long before they just sort of fade into the dust... for lack of a better term.

my description of the state of things these days is that everything social is undisciplined. Everyone can do as they want because people have been given a voice through generations of enforced equality. This all started long before social media came along. The initial intentions may well have been noble, but like everything, leave it to grow unchecked and it goes wild.

If the king is preaching about a time where everyone gets along and is tolerant of others. It has never happened in history and never will in the future and forcing it upon people just creates a force resisting it. It's what human beings are
