The UK has always been authoritarian in sheep's clothing.
Don't be fooled by its geographic location and shared language with the US. It's very extreme as far as western countries go, and not towards the freedom side.
- proc0 4y agoThey still have a monarchy. They're ok with an absolute ruler, even if it's symbolic, so it's no surprise when their government reflects those values.
- Veen 4y ago> They're ok with an absolute ruler, even if it's symbolic These are contradictory concepts. An absolute ruler can't be a symbolic ruler. A symbolic leader, almost by definition, is not an absolute ruler.
