Since modern English culture and language are primarily Anglo-Saxon rather than Britannic, why is King Arthur still considered a great cultural hero when his theoretical role was as a defender of the Britons against the Saxons? If anything he seems like he was an enemy to the forces that made Great Britain what it is today.

It's a bizarre conflation that has slowly been made over the centuries. You have to remember that the modern English do not have any specific attachment to explicitly Saxon stuff, but also pre-Anglo-Saxon history, e.g. Boudica and King Arthur. Arthur is just seen generally as a stalwart defender of the land from invaders, no matter whom those invaders are. The Welsh obviously rightfully see him as /theirguy/ though.

Yeah, I can definitely understand it with the Welsh, they're the authentic Britons
What would an updated version created today look like?

In a Monarchist Group I've been in on Facebook for a few years, I noticed that many of it's members are homosexuals.
Including myself.
I also notice that self-made political pariahs such as Naked Ape or Milo Yiannopolis are gay.
Why is it that Homos are most likely to be Monarchists or heavily into politics?

Tell me about the Japanese Emperors.
Where they also just figure heads or puppets for warlords? or did they actually have real power at points before the Meiji Era.

they were totally cucked but on the other side shoguns and taikos needed them to legitimize their power as having divine origin
>>
>>3015840
This. Idk about "cucked" " but except for kenmu restoration for 6 years, they were basically like spiritual leaders. A symbol of Japan's divine origin.
The shoguns basically needed them and their line alive to keep people from going ape shit.

>>3015834
They only ruled directly very early on, over time older family members and courtiers were really in charge, then warlords latter on

Is this just a picture that incidentally captured the tram being pulled by horses because it was broken that day, or were these really a thing?
