To people who SIMP Monarchism, why? It's basically just communism but there's the added chance of your leader being inbred. Your land is owned by the crown, you can't arm yourself, and the more obnoxious elements of the woke crowd just get jobs in the church or some government censorship committee. What possible improvement does a system of government we phased out centuries ago have to offer?

Looking at Europe, those people need a monarchy. They can't function without it.

>Monarchy
>Having clearly defined castes and sovereignty claimed through divine justification
>Being similar in any way to Communism

No
>>
>>17273633
"Divine justification" meaning "I was born into the role so that means God put me there." It's also a completely untenable position if you believe in Free Will. And Communism also has a caste system. Just look at how well off the ruling class is compared to the proletariat.
>>
>>17273628
Because giving absolute authority to cunts like Dianne Abbott or Macron definitely isn't a recipe for disaster.
>>
>>17273633
Communists divide their societies into castes of workers, pafty functionaries, military and the leaders (the "vanguard" of the revolution) and claim their rule is justified by dialectics or the "will of the people".
>>
>>17273621
>why
For the same reason why people bottom.
They want someone else to do the thinking for them.

The United States is already an elected monarchy.
Royalist monarchists just don't like voting or the lack of aesthetics.

>>17273723
>Le Pontifex
Congratulations. You've got a group of priests under either threats from a king or threats from the Pope to approve the current leader. Doesn't prevent him from being a psychotic bastard or incompetent dumbass and he has no term limits.

>>17273725
There's people out there who still believe the Trump-Russia nonsense?
>>
>>17273796
I never mentioned Trump.
Anyway Putin is also a great example of a non-royal monarch.
>>
>>17273723
Who cares.
>>
>>17273791
The whole point is that the laws are set in stone based upon a religion, hence why dynasties and empires that utilized this system managed to last for hundreds to even thousands of years before shitting the bed. There are rites and rituals that must be maintained in order to keep the job.

101% Ameritard education system moment right there. Are the damn commie seatbelts and traffic lights and potable tap water tryna take yur freedums too?

>>17273894
This isn't a republican only thing.
Monarchists famously lift up individuals as infalible leaders with rights granted by God himself, who will return everything to the "good old days" if only given absolute power and believe in shadowy elites who conspire to oppress them (often the Freemasons or (((capitalists))))
This is Orwellian nationalist thinking and monarchists aren't immune to it.
>>
>>17273811
Because nobody has ever twisted religion for their own gain. Let alone someone with practically unchecked power.
>>
>>17273894
Dictatorships are just Monarchism without religion. The only ones who believe they're legitimate republics are the dumb shits who run them.

This. OP doesn’t know what Monarchy is

>>17274412
Mon-archy
One man rule.
Not that hard.
>>
>>17274464
Like the DPRK or PRC or USSR.

>>17274292
Does it really matter if the dude raping you wears a crown or a hammer and sickle cap? You're still getting raped.
>>
>>17274464
not really, monarchy means that the total state is encompassed in an individual. When a monarch speaks in his capacity as the sovereign, he speaks with the voice of the entire body politic. The monarch proclaims the law because the law is himself.

>>17275829
Americans are tyrannized by their federal agencies more than almost any monarch in history has ever done against their people

All I can tell you is to read Unqualified Reservations. Specifically, the Open Letter to Open Minded Progressives is a good place to start (even if you don't consider yourself a progressive, everyone is a progressive relative to monarchism).

Take one look at North Korea and tell me it's not essentially an unreformed absolute monarchy.
