monarchy is okay but you have to have a good monarch

2019-04-22 21:12:01 UTC  

GG @CallMeTruckson, you just advanced to level 4!

2019-04-22 21:12:03 UTC  

A king however needs to represent the interest of everybody in terms of the general will.

2019-04-22 21:12:17 UTC  

Even the ancient greek thinkers considered monarchy to be the best form of government

2019-04-22 21:12:26 UTC  

A king?

2019-04-22 21:12:29 UTC  

Even early-moderns like Hobbes

2019-04-22 21:12:34 UTC  

argued the monarch to be a best form of government

2019-04-22 21:12:51 UTC  

even post-modern thinkers like Nietzche argues the King is the best type of government to secure the best of human potential

2019-04-22 21:13:02 UTC  

Not too sure about that

2019-04-22 21:13:14 UTC  

What if the king is an asshole

2019-04-22 21:13:21 UTC  

Who's to stop em?

2019-04-22 21:13:21 UTC  

Why would the King be an asshole?

2019-04-22 21:13:35 UTC  

Hypothetical

2019-04-22 21:13:39 UTC  

Does not exist

2019-04-22 21:13:47 UTC  

The king does his best to serve the nation at the public's interest

2019-04-22 21:13:54 UTC  

how do you think China managed to survive such a long-term monarchy

2019-04-22 21:14:01 UTC  

a bad king makes a bad monarchy

2019-04-22 21:14:03 UTC  

"the mandate of heaven" is essentially the same as a social contract

2019-04-22 21:14:31 UTC  

The King or Queen

2019-04-22 21:14:32 UTC  

might I add

2019-04-22 21:14:37 UTC  

tech, i know all the tv shows have a nice monarchy but they tended to be harsh

2019-04-22 21:14:47 UTC  

propaganda

2019-04-22 21:15:01 UTC  

Did you think the Americans were really revolting against taxes on King George?

2019-04-22 21:15:11 UTC  

King George literally didn't raise any taxes during the French and Indian War

2019-04-22 21:15:23 UTC  

and fighting for independence

2019-04-22 21:15:24 UTC  

He wanted every Americans to be able to survive despite a war on their backyard

2019-04-22 21:15:33 UTC  

But these American colonists said NO FK U

2019-04-22 21:15:36 UTC  

I WANT TAX-FREE TEA

2019-04-22 21:15:38 UTC  

REEEE

2019-04-22 21:16:01 UTC  

Not to mention the british monarch respected the sovereign of the Indians that lived in the North American continent

2019-04-22 21:16:08 UTC  

yet the American colonists said NO I WANT MORE LAND

2019-04-22 21:16:17 UTC  

I will travel beyond the west and claim what is mine

2019-04-22 21:16:22 UTC  

king george had a rule where if you served in the military and you got injured but didnt die you ha to pay money to the crown

2019-04-22 21:16:33 UTC  

based

2019-04-22 21:16:33 UTC  

thats monarchy

2019-04-22 21:16:38 UTC  

makes sense

2019-04-22 21:16:49 UTC  

military training cost a shit ton

2019-04-22 21:16:52 UTC  

the amount it takes to feed you

2019-04-22 21:16:54 UTC  

is ridiculous

2019-04-22 21:16:57 UTC  

and you got "injured"

2019-04-22 21:17:07 UTC  

makes absolute sense to keep the military spending at a minimum
