What the hell is "simp". All of the internet is giving me different definition. I am way beyond of confusion now. Day by day internet is creating new meme words.

Beta male that degrades himself to win over the attention of a woman, usually streamers or e-celebrities. But I think it refers to these kind of guys that also pays or donates (Patreon, OnlyFans) for woman's attention.
It's supposed to be someone who persistently treats women "better than they deserve" leading to them being taken advantage by women with no intentions of ever dating or sleeping with them. Being completely dedicated to a woman you have no chance with and putting them on an undeserved pedestal, rather than trying to form an equal relationship, makes you a simp.
Of course it's quickly becoming just a generic insult.

Simp is a rather old word (by American word-coinage standards, anyway), and long predates all of the Internet nonsense elaborated above. It's a street slang abbreviation of "simpleton", i.e., a foolish, simple-minded person, circa 1910. I assume it migrated to its bizarre modern use by way of people who had read it in, for example, early-20th-century detective fiction; didn't know what it meant; and misinterpreted it from context as an accusation of some sort of unmanliness, when in fact it meant no such thing.

Can I note that there is an irony with that, considering Bimbo originally referred to men to begin with, then in the late 70s/80s got applied to women, and is now morphed into "Himbo" to refer to men again?

A simp is basically a whale (someone who throws a lot of money in gambling/F2p) but for livestreams in order to get attention.

The current incarnation of the word most likely originates as an acronym, just like thot, or as a fusion of sissy and pimp. The earliest definition resembling its current usage appeared online in 2005, it's just only recently gotten popular.

Very useful. I have mainly seen it in early 20th century American literature, particularly of the [ ( necessarily ) pseudo ] tough-guy variety.

Is that where Simpleton comes from?
He just said, the other way round.

More interesting than simp to me is the ridiculous quote, it sounds the sort of junk the more simple-minded Americans would be indoctrinated with --- thus paying homage to kingship for oneself whilst violently rejecting it --- I have what seems a false recollection of a non-hard-boiled mid 20th century piece of American literature, Every Man A King, about Quakers. Historical fiction set in the 18th century.
It seems to have been a later Anarchist motto, when those simpletons were blowing people up, referenced in G. K. Chesterton ( as a Catholic sentimental semi-anachist ) , and then used as a motto by Huey Long. Huey was not a bad man, but neither a good man, a sort of Proto-Trump before his time. Definitely not a King though. It's the sheer impossibility of the idea that gets me, the notion that a multitude of persons can each hold the one, supreme power. Like 'squaring the circle' or 'perpetual motion'.
I assume it is here a direct quote from a film I have never seen [ and in fact have strenuously avoided ].
This doesn't really seem appropriate. "Simp" is not the equal of "thot". "Chad" would work better, but everyone seems to assume being a chad is always a good thing for whatever god awful reason.

John Locke said: If kings, who are not heirs to Adam, have no right to sovereignty, we are all free...If there be but one heir of Adam, there can be but one lawful king in the world...If there be more than one heir of Adam, every one is his heir, and so every one has regal power [for] all are heirs, being all sons, or sons sons of Adam. [T]he right of heir cannot stand; for by it either but one only man, or all men are kings. Take which you please, it dissolves the bonds of government and obedience-- (Two Treatises (1689))

Directly taken from Urban Dictionary, so take it with a grain of salt, as you may want. All Women Are Queens refers to a highly exploitable phrase popular on Tumblr in which two people, usually characters from pop culture, are having a conversation in which one person says a variation of “If she breathes, she a thot,” to which the other responds “All women are queens!” The meme spread alongside the rise of Respect Women memes.

What does Trump have to do with it? You are judging the 20th century world using 21st century lens. Cultural perceptions, beliefs, ideas are NOT necessarily the same in an earlier era compared to our current, modern era. So quit judging the past by comparing it with the present.
