I wonder why he is actually in the UK, he consistently complains about it, and seems to hate the culture. He said it was for wrestling but as far as I know wrestlers on those kind of shows only make about £50 a show if they're relatively inexperienced and if Jim gets more as he is "internet famous" he cant be getting more than £200 for a show with 100 people.
Something has definitely gone on in the US but like him moving from Alabama we'll probably never know unless its some kind of sexual deviancy that ends up in a lawsuit
He gets to rort the NHS and gets free money for when he inevitably loses all his millions to funko pops.
@TheBeanz it tends to happen, sorry.
Jim and his ilk no being able to see why the British public at large likes the monarchy is because they are historically illiterate. Over the centuries, the people in the UK got a pretty up close look at what happened to the countries that abolished their monarchies. The ones you cited above, along with Spain, descended into hellish anarchy or immense social disruption and came out the other side with despots capable of inflicting greater evil on their citizens than anything even the most depraved monarchy was capable of. The British people have seen the alternatives to monarchy and they have chosen to stick with the good thing they have going on with the House of Windsor. But Jim will just be castigate anyone who thinks Lizzy is pretty rad as a fascist because he believes his brand of fully automated luxury gay space communism where he gets to be the commissar of trans inclusion in video games and wrestling will work this time.
The main one is definitely Napoleon and George III. Americans saw him as a tyrant (sort of rightly, as he was the avatar of Parliament and the lack of colonial rights), but the English saw him as a rock of stability, and British society underwent a revolution of thought as those intellectuals who defended the Americans were split between justifying the French and attacking it, largely for similar reasons. FInally, the death of Louis XVI soured even the most radical Englishmen. Napoleon eventually conquering old societies left and right and becoming an actual tyrant as emperor certainly did him no favours- even the Irish refused to offer significant support for the French landing in 1798, and the English could no longer justify to themselves why Ireland should not be given equal status in the Union, alongside emancipating the Catholics

Queen Liz is so popular partly because, as an immortal, she exemplifies British conservativism. Progress is made but not at such a great cost or damage as to make it unwanted; the war, the rolling blackouts, the three day week, Falklands, the Cold War, terror attacks, socialism, Thatcherism, scandals, she's lived through and come out on top against them all. Even Magna Carta was eventually defended by John and his heirs
against the barons who wanted it, because they began to respond far more harshly and wanted more after the Pope denounced the barons as heretics.
And there's another country
I've heard of long ago
And her ways are ways of gentleness
And all her paths are peace
