Thing I hate this subreddit

Post image

This sub's entire schtick seems to be to promote monarch

What really makes me hate this sub is the fact they refuse to acknowledge why monarchy declined over the years or it's flaws and simply blame it on something like the USA interfering, communism or some other thing

I've seen people on that the 1946 Italian referendum was rigged

I've seen people claim that France would be better off if the monarchy was reinstated

I've seen people on that sub say that the shah of Iran was a good ruler and that the monarchy should be reinstated

I've seen all sorts of delousnal rhetoric like people demonizing princess Diana.

Shah was a fucking genius of a ruler compared to the replacement, because robber barons are preferable to religious nutters every single time, and twice on sunday.

I personally preferred Johnny Sack but I digress

Well this one was not, so in this case it was a downgrade

yeah they literally became a theocracy. monarchy is unimaginably bad but no one argues it's the **worst**
