[quote] Reason and revelation concurred that the polity requires coordination of individuals to the common good by coercive authority, and therefore hierarchy and headship, although that headship need not be monarchical. However, like most of their contemporaries, Jesuits regarded monarchy as the best form of government. Although authority as such is natural and necessary, the element of consent is the political community’s freedom to choose its own form of government. The alterability of most laws implies an “absolute” ruler. However, the authority of any ruler or regime is limited by fundamental laws, natural and divine law, and the natural and legal rights of subjects, as well as the right or threat of tyrannicide.

Theil must be a REALLY unpleasant person. Like seriously, bottom of the barrel, low down and dirty, do anything with no thought or remorse nasty.
There's only one eventual solution. Guillotines.

Nice try, OP. Vance, Theil, and Yarvin are strictly in the pockets of the cultish Opus Dei, as are many Washington power brokers.
[quote]Opus Dei’s influence is enormous in the U.S. judiciary.
[quote]“The center’s board includes Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the Federalist Society, which helped shepherd the Supreme Court nominations of Brett M. Kavanaugh and Neil M. Gorsuch. White House counsel Pat Cipollone is a former board member, as is William P. Barr, who served as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush and is now President Trump’s nominee for the same position.” Barr, a “committed Catholic,” was highly recommended by Leonard Leo.
[quote]The U.S. judiciary has been shaped not only through Leo’s control over Trump’s judicial appointments but also by the Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) directed by Leo and run by Carrie Severino, a former law clerk for supreme court justice Clarence Thomas.
What the Jesuits think of Opus Dei:
[quote]Opus Dei's secretive nature has attracted criticism since its early days, with other Catholic groups, in particular the more liberal Jesuits, likening it to having Freemasons or the mafia operating within the church.
