www.instagram.com/reel/DZZ0-AP... Greatest political scene ever

The scene is a fast, deadpan satire of political legitimacy, monarchy, and democracy, set in a medieval world but spoken in modern political language.The scene escalates into absurdity when Dennis is physically repressed (Arthur shouts “Shut up!” and Dennis screams “I’m being repressed!”), and Arthur finally calls him a “bloody peasant” out of frustration. The humor is in the peasants’ intellectual confidence, the King’s inability to defend his authority logically, and the sheer randomness of medieval people speaking like political theorists.The moment is famous for becoming a meme and a shorthand for people who reject authority because they didn’t vote for it, even though the show is actually mocking that logic by showing how absurd it is to apply modern democratic ideas to a medieval monarchy. It’s one of the most quoted and analyzed bits in the film, and it perfectly captures Monty Python’s style of mixing historical parody, political satire, and pure absurdity.#montypython #montypythonandtheholygrail #cinephilecommunity #cinephilecommunity #montypythonquotesView all 3,126 comments

“God said,” nothing. God never said anything and never gave anyone anything. Abraham is a myth, so no Issac, no Ismail, no David, and no Solomon, definitely no Moses either. Today we have a word for the people whom God speaks to, schizophrenics.

If they put boots on the ground the US is fucked. The only way they could enter is via the sea because no boardering country would allow them to enter there. If they airdrop they still need extraction. The terrain in Iran is not easy, very mountainous all over. Would be worse than Afganistan.

There are only a few countries left that completely refuse the Rothchilds central banking system. Ironically, those are the exact same countries we constantly go to war with. The pattern is hiding in plain sight

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

“Without NATO and its major allies, the U.S. would struggle to maintain its globally dominant role. This would have dire implications for the USD’s global role and its weak fiscal outlook. The U.S. literally cannot afford not to be a superpower, lest its bills come due.”

Fuck Jasmin Crocket she voted to send another $3 billion+ to Israel. We seriously need to start a new party without AIPAC involvement. It may get to that point. Republicans and democrats are both complicit in everything that is happening.
