John Locke made a good point about King David

Date: October 31st, 2025 5:41 PM Author: exhilarant misanthropic travel guidebook Jews went for centuries without a king, then boom! God gave them a king. But the king still had to earn it.
Both the prolonged absences of a king and the fact that David had to earn his title are offered as evidence against the divine right of kings. Pretty powerful stuff. |

as usual, the heebs ignored Him.

Date: October 31st, 2025 9:12 PM Author: exhilarant misanthropic travel guidebook Yeah Locke is saying kinghood isn't something you can just inherit from Adam. That's what these kings were claiming. They said "Adam was an absolute monarch, and so were Adam's sons, and I can trace my lineage to one of Adam's sons."
Locke was saying hey look at King Fucking David. By the time he became King, he had all kinds of IRL achievements under his belt. He never said "I inherited this from God." So I don't think Locke's reading is orthogonal to yours at all.
Locke also psychoanalyzes God a bit. He says that at the time God was giving Adam "dominion" over certain things, he was pissed off and cursing Adam out, if anything. God certainly wasn't in the mood to do Adam any favors. |

Date: October 31st, 2025 9:48 PM Author: exhilarant misanthropic travel guidebook Biblical scripture was first invoked by proponents of divine right of kings. In order to engage his opponents, Locke had to engage the Bible. He looks at how political order was established in the actual fuckin Bible and says "there's no divine right of anything here" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5792139&forum_id=2Elisa#49391849) |

Date: October 31st, 2025 10:13 PM Author: exhilarant misanthropic travel guidebook Locke studied extensively in Germany, where kings were elected. Scholars of government were much more sophisticated in Germany back then, and they wrote in Latin. Locke could only write in English to his audience was limited from the beginning, and no one though highly of him in Germany while he was alive.
In England and America it was a different story, since we were already native English speakers. We couldn't read Latin as well as we could read Locke. |

Date: October 31st, 2025 10:17 PM Author: exhilarant misanthropic travel guidebook PS Locke had a contemporary who clowned on him from every dimension at all times. He was a Swedish lawyer named Samuel Pufendorf who DOMINATED Locke's thoughts 24/7. Locke couldn't mention him by name because he couldn't even write in Latin like Pufendorf, and his library was 1% as big. He was never in a position to even cite Pufendorf, even in praise, which he would never do out of fear of political repercussion.
