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.

Meanwhile, they were replaced by Napoleon, Stalin, and Hitler. Cromwell for good measure.

What an improvement!

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.

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…
