Legitimism

Great article that goes into the basics of French Légitimité, Jacobitism, Miguelism, Carlism, Hapsburg Legitimism, etc. Their defeats led to the Liberalization of Europe and eventually affected the New World. https://t.co/ai4SYDdbvX

Who will rally to the Stuarts?

In the creation of a new republic, is a transitional monarchy necessary? If so, should the last legitimate dynasty be asked to help, for the sake of history and tradition? Or would any old strong man do?

I've seen the use of "Cathedral" before by Roissy. Did he get it from Yarvin? I'm anti-democracy, but that's because I'm a republican.

Dr. Wilson, Jacobite sympathizer?

The One Over the Water:

Yet a real monarchist must admit that the British executed and exiled their legitimate kings. The Stuarts had defects enough, Heaven knows, but they were royal defects. They had the best of British qualities—courage and intelligence such as nearly conquered the world. Something went badly wrong when the present line of petty German princelings was imported. The German princes were among the stupidest and most repulsive of all the European royals and unfitted to be symbols of a great Empire.

Dr. Wilson on the British monarchy

His reply to Sempronius at PJB's "Is Democracy Overrated?":

I am always puzzled by folks like Sempronious who are for monarchy and established church, or aristocracy. Exactly where are you going to get that monarch? You cannot be for monarchy in general, only for a particular royal line. The last legitimate monarch in the English-speaking world lost his head long ago. Do you want the tacky little Germans and Danes who now uselessly drain the British? The Russian, Austrian, or Spanish claimants?
America was not founded by a monarchy or a central state of any kind. It was founded by brave, independent men—mostly younger sons of the gentry and yeomen—who risked their own capital and lives to settle a continent. The fall begins when they are replaced by the flotsam and jetsom and rejected authoritarians, revolutionaries, and socialists of Europe from the 1840s onward.

Carlism

They are prominent in 19th and early 20th century Spanish history, but I did not think they were still a vital political force, once Franco had stepped down and Juan Carlos became king. Perhaps their website does not give any sort of impression of their current state. But I was thinking of them briefly today, but for no particular reason.
