”Share a Disney quote that sums up how you’re feeling right now!”

That’s what Disney posted on Threads the other day, and people immediately replied with lines from Star Wars, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and even Mary Poppins. The throughline between all the quotes: they were pretty pointedly anti-fascist and clearly aimed at the current administration

A monarchy where succession is decided by trial-by-combat though?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 6 hours ago

remember rudy guiluini said there should be trial by combat.

Is it any worse than the American political system really?

That’s like saying AIDS is not as bad as Cancer.

Fair enough

I'd love to see the cheeto do a trial by combat, that would be outright funny

There is a world, not this one, but somewhere, where the President of the United States is challenged to a trial by combat by the King of Denmark over ownership of Greenland

[–] bumblefumble@mander.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

The king of Denmark is a former frogman (i.e. Danish Navy Seal). I would love to see that fight.

Look if there was a way I could sovcit my way to a golden fringe slap fight I'd take it all the way to the top of the conspiracy (lose a slap fight against the president? That's a hell of a story). Something tells me it's more complicated.

I know this dude who lost a slap fight against a toad. He was lynched for treason and running round with other dudes wives and daughters. Imagine how far I could go if I lost a slap fight against a president.

You're not wrong but a monarchy isn't strictly speaking the same as facism so I guess it's technically plausible
