Someone who was raised a commoner but is a genius, understands what it's like
Anyway, I think we can both agree that a dictatorship would be a step in the right direction. Even if we don't agree on the final end point
Yeah
The metaphysics must be right, thats the most important part
I think that if a king raises their child(ren) properly they grow up to be good rulers.
Just don’t let them live a cushy life and force them to do jobs considered as crappy.
Make their young childhood fun but make them struggle when they are teens and young adults so that they don’t become spoiled.

What?
King are men
It’s HIS children
Don’t adopt leftist nonenglish
I was thinking of king AND Queen when I said the their bit.
I just didn’t put Queen in there because I was being retarded.
Machiavelli talks about this in The Prince
I agree that saying their for everything is gay af.
Good times create weak men etc
A prince ought to be educated in the history of warfare and be raised to hunt
How valleys slope and forests conceal
Everyone should. It is just extra important for rulers to.
So that he may know how to lead a battle when the time comes
Reminder that the mongols were raised hunting mice and herding on horseback
And conquered half the world’s population in an afternoon with six horses and a banana
Anyway not a question

K
If a monarch makes an elected parliament to represent the people will that inevitably spiral into further loss of a monarch’s power or can a monarch’s power remain if a parliament exists?
Now there’s a good question
It’s hard to say
There’s not a large enough sample size to determine a clear trend
The British monarchy was pretty solid for centuries even with a separate legislature
Though of course their system has Lords n shiet
The king was still pretty powerful until after the war
And that was largely due to the complacency and weakness of the sitting monarch, rather than a systemic failure
IMO
I think that the system can exist for long periods when things are going good or ok but when hardship hits people tend to blame the system instead of the actual causes.
The parliament and House of Lords were fine because Britain was doing well.
But when they stopped doing as well the kings powers were taken.
