āNo Kingsā is an awkward slogan here in the United, er, Kingdom, & tomorrow happens to be King Prince Charlesās official birthday & parade. So itās āNo Tyrantsā outside the US embassy.

NoKings works for me! Fuck the monarchy, everywhere! Bloodline rulership is antiquated and should be resigned to history!

Hard no thank you. Iāll keep a ceremonial king with no power over a republic where the risk of an authoritarian head of state emerging is very real.

I wouldnāt go to Thailand and say that, if I were you. (Until the world comes up with a perfect form of government Iāll stick with what we have in the UK. There are more āPresidentsā (whether voted for by the people or their own party) who do not deserve to hold that office.

Here in the Netherlands, our king holds very little power, much less than our prime minister or an American president. So it's a weird slogan for us, too. It would be great if Trump were to just cut ribbons and visit other headpieces of state

In Canada I feel comfy using āno tyrantsā because the context here around Indigenous sovereignty. Often āno kingsā is code for āletās ignore the treatiesā. Most of the country is owned by Indig, government by treaties with UK King, Canada is just manager. So āno kingsā often is anti-FN

That is his actual bday; all British Monarchs since George II in 1748 have celebrated an official birthday that doesnāt necessarily correspond with their actual one, usually in late spring/early summer, to increase the probability of better weather for public celebrations

The UK is about 1/4 the size of the US. King Charles has (1) intellectual curiosity, (2) character and (3) understanding of the US Constitution at least 4 times greater than our presumptive king. Youāre right. We really just donāt want a tyrant.

IIRC the name was workshopped. According to the focus group, us Americans don't understand "despot", "dictator", "tyrant", "totalitarian", and "authoritarian"; like a sizable portion of us don't understand why those are bad things. Those people understand better what "king" means.

Westminster parliamentary systems work well, because pomp and ceremony rest on the ceremonial King and are kept away from the prime minister, and prevent the PM from building the stature around himself/herself to pull a Trump.
