Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Versailles generates a lot of tourist income even without some assholes living there.

But imagine the income if some assholes DID live there.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

maybe they left some assholes behind just in case

I like to think ratlicker had been stalking ratliker for a while.

This is how hyper specific I like memes to be.

I like Canada's version of Monarchy. The royals? Oh they are over there.

Oh you want to usurp executive powers? Al la Putin or Erdogan. Well that would require the executives signature. And you cant coerce them because, once again, they're over there.

Like giving your sober friend the keys to the car before going out drinking

I'm not a monarchist (anymore), but here in Brazil at least there's the argument that the only somewhat decent and competent leader that the country ever had was Emperor Pedro II.

Does ratlicker LIKE licking rats, or is it merely just what they do? 🤔

Also: Ratliker seems to not like licking rats, but that does not necessarily mean they don't lick rats.

Like a visit to the zoo?

The Western democratic monarchies are definitely functioning a lot more stable than whatever absolutist "god-given" presidency they are having over in the US.

No. The UK is a democratic monarchy, and they are in fact not very stable right now.

Oh, I thought you were blaming the existence of the National Front on King Chuck, as we were talking about monarchies originally.

I don’t think I’ve seen the evolution from Christian Medieval to Capitalist Modern described so well lol
