One burned bus. One measly, burned-out bus… That was the extent of the outrage in Ireland last week after an African invader almost beheaded an Irish man in Belfast.

Look, I’ll be the first to say that burning public transport to protest government policy is a non-starter. You must understand that your anger is their agenda. The regime wants you to protest because no matter what you’re angry about, someone, somewhere is hoping for the chance to twist that anger into support for their pet policy.

The security state probably fainted in joy when it saw the burned-out bus. Perfect evidence to justify stronger security laws. And the rest of the UK government smiled when its domesticated “anti-racist” counter-protesters came out in support of migrants. That was perfect evidence to justify opening the borders even wider. To protest is to willingly become the thin edge of someone else’s wedge. Don’t do it.

You can’t win by pressing the buttons they give you. The electrical signals go nowhere. Your protests are energy sinks. Your social media posts are data for advertising. Your votes are just paper. If these activities changed anything, would they let us do them? It should take two seconds to answer that.

If you’re sick of bad things happening every other day and want to see real change for the better, then I’d like to introduce you to a button that works. The regime has convinced you that this button no longer exists. But this button is as fresh as the day it was created, and all the wires on it are still directly connected to power. It’s a beautiful button, with a shade of purple. I call this the Fix Everything Instantly button.

The great thing about this button is that you can press it any time you want. All the misery, managed decline, lying interests, pointless suffering, bureaucratic malaise, ethnic hatred, systemic fraud, empty culture, purposeful deracination and other cancers of the modern regime will disappear the moment you press the button.

What is the Fix Everything Instantly button?

Very simply, it is the “Elect A King” button. Notice I didn’t say “Appoint A King.” Only god can appoint a king, and no matter what the farmers of men have told you, the people are not god. Vox populi, vox dei was always a cynical lie. However, the people can elect a king because an alliance with a king is the only way to defeat an oligarchy. Defeating an oligarchy requires integrating monarchical and democratic power; only democracy can supply the energy, and only monarchy can supply the direction. That’s why the oligarchy works so hard to stop us from pressing the button.

Electing a king turns the tables on the oligarchical regime by using its sacred process (voting) against itself. After the button is pressed, all that’s needed is one final election where the people vote for the best possible king, and then everyone can stop worrying about politics. I’m sure you’re sick of politics. I know I am. Imagine how good it would feel to never think about politics ever again! Think how much happier you’d be.

At this point, your brain is no doubt sending signals of discomfort about the button. After all, one of the most successful propaganda tricks of our time is that a king is a man with “too much power.” By contrast, modern democracies ruled by oligarchs are much “fairer” because the power is “distributed” among a bunch of mini-kings instead. But it’s worth pointing out that real kings had far less power than the convoluted oligarchical structure we live under now.

This regime taught us all from birth that monarchy is the most evil of evil things. But try to reach deep inside your brain, down to where the “dirty” bits haven’t been washed out by the propaganda. Those bits of your brain aren’t “dirty”; they are the parts that are still working. I want to speak to these parts of your brain.

Think about your favourite restaurant. Why do you like it so much? Is it the décor, the food or the service staff? It’s probably all these things, right? Well, I’d like to suggest that the true reason you like this restaurant so much is because it works. And the reason it works is that it is a monarchy. One person, the chef de cuisine, runs the entire restaurant. Every decision goes through a single point. The restaurant works because it pressed the Fix Everything Instantly button.

Now, consider if that same restaurant was operated by the Department of Eating Dinner.

How do you think the food would taste? Imagine ordering a medium-rare steak over a phone line accessible only between 10 am and 3 pm. The kitchen wouldn’t be in the back; it would be in China. You want a romantic table by the window, but the algorithm finds a spot for you under the stairs since it’s “quieter.” And what would the gravy taste like if it were organised by a committee? The mind truly boggles.

The lesson here is that everything in this world that works is a monarchy, and everything that doesn’t work is a bureaucracy run by an oligarchy. Monarchy works because it is fundamentally an aesthetic institution. The king is the sovereign over his property. Sovereignty means there is no power above the king. If the king doesn’t like how the gravy tastes at his restaurant, then the gravy gets changed. If the king wants tomato sauce to replace gravy, then tomato sauce it is. If you don’t like tomato sauce, then you are always free to move to a different monarchy where the king likes gravy.

Similarly, if the king on whose property you reside – say, in Belfast – prefers having a bunch of barbaric Africans running around beheading people, then that’s the king’s choice. I don’t know why any king would want that, but it’s his property, not yours. If you don’t like barbaric Africans running around beheading people, then you are welcome to move to the property of a king with a different aesthetic. Far from being enslaved, the beauty of pressing the button is that it gives you options. It makes you more free.

The button’s power is simply the restoration of strong property rights. The button does not reset or nullify any existing deeds or claims of ownership. It does not steal anything. Any claim of private property is a claim of political sovereignty. All legitimate property is private. If you own the title to a piece of property, then pressing the button will formalise that ownership. Pressing the button makes you the absolute ruler of your own property. If you wish to sell the property, go ahead. If you wish to build a skyscraper, you might have to negotiate for resources from other properties, but it’s technically possible.

Strong property rights are the shortest way to Fixing Everything Instantly. Even a casual understanding of the tragedy of the Commons proves this point. That’s why the button works. Anyone attacking the idea of private property should be considered an enemy. They are trying to hurt you.

That’s why anything morally permissible to do to a robber is morally permissible to do to a socialist. A socialist who wants to violently seize your property is not your “political opponent”. He is a thief. Treat him accordingly. If someone says, “I believe your property is actually my property. Let’s debate about it,” the proper response isn’t to engage in debate. It is to recognise that this person is a threat. The only way to be safe from evil people like this is to press the button.

Ireland’s problem is the same as New Zealand’s problem, which is the same as America’s problem and Australia’s problem. In fact, there is only one problem in the world today: kinglessness. Whenever you see any problem with governance – from a free-range African lunatic nearly beheading people and a new climate change scam, to a preteen sex-change clinic and an ugly building – the ultimate cause is always the same: the incomplete application of Chapter IX of the Discourses on The First Ten Books of Titus Livius.

But as Nietzsche said, the age of the kings is gone because their subjects are no longer worthy of them. You can’t just press the button and remain a degenerate, uncaring, mediocre piece of human biomass. You must become worthy of having a king. You have to want to be the kind of person a king would want to protect. Pressing the button is a dialogue. You get safety and a happy life without politics. The king gets a people he wants to govern well. It’s a beautiful system – and it works.

Do you want to Fix Everything Instantly? Or do you like living in a world where a random daylight beheading is normal? The choice is yours. It’s always been yours. As Thomas Carlyle said, “It is the everlasting privilege of the foolish to be governed by the wise; to be guided in the right path by those who know it better than they.”

So, will you press the button? It’s right there.
