8. The psychic trauma of Buckley's shift from anglophobic isolationism to anglophilic internationalism is played out in his spy novel Saving the Queen (1976), where Buckley's alter-ego spanks and fucks the Queen.pic.twitter.com/gw4csuEk5Q

19. One last thing. If you want to hear William F. Buckley read out his sex fantasies about the Queen of England (interspersed with reflections on American power and boarding school stories) do I have a Youtube for you.https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1373328678659178500 …
Wow. Come for the Jack Kirby tweetstorm. Stay for the William F Buckley monarch erotica!
Certainly a wild thread there @HeerJeet
Monarchists make perfect sense since the Right puts the Rich on a pedestal anyway.
One King and lots of rich people become Lords. Meanwhile, the rest of us are the rabble, peasants with no rights who must pledge allegiance to their Lord and the King.
I wonder how much this was also influenced by The Crazies (also known as Code Name: Trixie), a 1973 American science fiction horror film written and directed by George A. Romero.
Likely. Kirby was a big movie watcher and worked those plots into his stories.
Isn’t there some overlap between American reactionaries desire for a landed aristocratic elite akin to the confederate planter society? Isn’t that some basis for the identification with the monarchy?
You hit the nail on the head. Many prominent English monarchists advocated for parliament to support the Confederacy during the Civil War. Many prominent members of British high society bough wholly into the myth that the south was an "agrarian paradise."
