If I Were An Heir To The Throne

The solidarity I feel with the people? Well, it is interesting, because it is my house, my family, my possessions that were first stolen. And now the people see they are being stolen from too. They are taxed, but not only that, foreigners are invited to come in, to take land, money, and even to vote. And they will be encouraged to even until the French people are no more.

So, perhaps at these times- perhaps the people can see this is a Republic of thieves. Thieves who stole from my house in the name of the people, and now they steal from the people in order to create a new people. When will it end?

Some of my ancestors are not without blame. The pretense of divine right led to monarchs using experts- bureaucrats- to manage government affairs rather than abiding by ancient agreements made among the nobility. What seemed like a seductive concentration of power was instead a hollowing out of the monarchy, turning supposedly great kings into mere signatories of a malignant state.

This very same class, the bureaucrats, saw in revolution a way to keep themselves in control. They destroyed the aristocracy, destroyed the monarchy, and used the new ideologies, as well as whatever they could steal, to mollify the people. Yet their greed has always been too great- how many republics have there been? Thieves cannot govern- inevitably they steal too much.

There was once a principle known in France- repentance.

If you are in a yellow vest, surely you have noticed the thieves have done you no good. If you become strong, the thieves will try to tempt you, telling you they will give you what they steal. Once they are fully in control again, they will return to stealing. They will steal from your children, and you grandchildren will have to rise up to threaten them again.

There is only one way to end this cycle. We must repent of this theft. We must reject the thief and his promise of ill-gotten gains. What is rightfully ours must be returned to us.
