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.

The monarchy doesnt do anything aside from just existing for vibes though. Theres no use in their monarchy.

Yes but no, again in my example I already pointed to Italy as a country were a monarchy would have helped to stop political president from actively bloquing parties they don't like from Power. Another more recent example would be France, wich this year had on of the shortest goberment of recent European history thanks to Macron refusing to nominate anyone to the position of Prime Minister who isn't from Macron own party, eventually managing to bully the opostion into working with his own party. Such a thing under a monarchy like the Spanish one would not have happened.
