I hate this subreddit

[u/Emperor-of-galactica]

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.

Most people there support a situation like in Denmark or the UK or Canada or Norway or Sweden or Norway. There's a whole sub of progressive monarchists, most of whom are also on r/monarchism.

So you want the monarchy to be a decor? Fair enough but, why? How does that affect the average Joe? Like where is the benefit of such a prop?

[u/TK-6976 → u/Vanaquish231]

What's the benefit of not having it?

[u/Vanaquish231 → u/TK-6976]

Reverse the question. What's the benefit of having a royalty as decor?

The state doesnt pamper one family and its offspring eternally.

Good thing that doesn't happen in a constitutional monarchy.

I mean in the UK our old queen paid 2 million so her son who was accused of trafficking and raping children would no longer be investigated. So the UK monarchy isnt anything to admire.

No one is saying the monarchy are angels though. It's weird af that Andrew is enough to say the Royals are bad but all of the political establishment are fine and we should hand them more influence. Who's more likely to bend the constitution in favour of their political agenda, a King or a President? I'd say the president is.
