how dare you wear a robe to preside how dare your cover your head to hide your face from God
how dare you smile from behind your beard to hide the fact your hearts are feared and wave a rod
how dare you be the one to assess me in this god forsaken mess you, a man in a purple dress a man in a purple dress |

Date: May 20th, 2018 11:12 AM Author: Orchid Ape Dragon It is though. President are (at least have the illusion of being) democratically elected and have term limits. They "work" for the people. Dictators have complete control out of fear and brutality.
But monarchies, especially in the modern era. We have one random family with special status that represents a country, "rules" a country symbolically or in some actuality and they are loaded with castles and status and money and people are supposed to care. Where did they come from and who installed them? It seems sketchier, even than dictators who are at least honest about the brutality that got them to where they are. Monarchs were just as cunning and brutal but put a veneer of respectability over it. |

Date: May 20th, 2018 11:23 AM Author: Exhilarant Burgundy Mexican For every Kim there are ten Orbans and Erdogans and Putin's who basically use money and control of the media to suppress opposition and don't need to kill anyone and even poll 80% without having to torture a soul.

Date: May 20th, 2018 11:27 AM Author: Orchid Ape Dragon Yeah Turkey didn't have an attempted coup and Putin is sooo nice too.
Of course dictators have "popular support". The people have no choice but to support. |

Date: May 20th, 2018 11:17 AM Author: Orchid Ape Dragon I've never researched it but xo MONARCHIC SCHOLARS informed me they're Germans or descended from German or Bavarian royalty or some shit. I've no idea though to tell you the truth. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3981942&forum_id=2#36089627) |

Date: May 20th, 2018 11:47 AM Author: Electric bistre black woman Allegedly she is, but there are always questions about royal blood lines. Also, Richard the Lionheart had no heir, which is why the hated King John from Robin Hood took the throne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_tree_of_English_and_British_monarchs |

Date: May 20th, 2018 12:17 PM Author: Lascivious forum Yes, they do. The current Queen is indeed descended from William the Conqueror.
(Of course, so is something like 20% of the native English population. But still.) |
