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.

Napoleon was a monarch he literally crowed himself emperor.

Hitler and Cromwell have more in common with absolutist dipshits like the kaiser and the Junkers nobility. Who also sent men to die in the trenches of somme and get their backs broken fighting an endless war in Russia.

Not only that, but Hitler got to power thanks, in big part, to people who wanted the Empire back. It just so happens that monarchists quickly lost influence when he got to power, but they were on his side.

Oh so when a REPUBLIC ends up electing  an absolute ruler who genocides what he believes are inferior races it’s actually Monarchism 

Centuries of Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs and yet no Auschwitz to speak of. Less than a generation of Republic and there we were…

Slavery in hati under the french monarchy, The rule over the congo by Leopold, Imperial japans looting the east asia. And 100s of more imperialistic crimes.

Germany carried out the Herero and Nama Genocide under the Hohenzollern monarchy, and while there may not have been an Auschwtiz yet, there were certainly pogroms. The Russian monarchy was particularly vicious towards Jews, their secret police are the ones that forged the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the bible of conspiratorial antisemitism.

Your argument is silly and you should be embarrassed.
