Imagine if my dad was a monarch. He'd be pretty disappointed in how the monarchy turned out.

I've noticed that monarchists tend to be ultra-religious (usually Catholic) and yearning for the good old days before the Reformation when everything was orderly and theocratic. Not an attack. Just an observation. As a godless agnostic myself, I can't say that I relate

I loved it when I made her meet patrick little.

@TMatthews imo monarchy and hierarchy in general is the natural order. But you can have your own opinion

Based MAGA deplorable 😎

even the old germanic and particularly slavic tribes had a leader or a "knyaz"

Real <@&488531212437159936> hours, who up?

h-howdy

the only real slavic republics were (((merchant))) republics

Huh?

I still have the role F

i'm talking about the likes of Novgorod

Lol

I did my second interview tonight but I didn't have my role changed

republics were generally trading economies

The economic system isn't based on peasant farmers so again what may have been logical then isn't anymore. I'd prefer a system that grants us social mobility so that the best and brightest can reach the top levels of society

same my man @StevePines -WA

@TMatthews i'm all for social mobility

i'm against hereditary titles that pass on just because of birthright

Monarchy does not need to mean peasant farmer economy

I support the byzantine model of sucession

Yeah...

Rome, Spain, England, Canada...monarchies

I really support the economic model of 10th century (golden age) Byzantium. I really do.

Social mobility was all but nonexistent in the feudal system, at least for the underclass.

because you're implying feudalism = monarchy

@StevePines -WA We'll have Niko do it. I technically could, but I don't know if it's over stepping my authority since I'm just the assistant to the coordinator.

feudalism is a whole differnt ballgame

I assumed that's what you meant as it was the primary form of monarchy and hierarchy for centuries

early germanic and slavic tribes were not feudal

neither were the Romans

feudalism is a dark ages invention really

Even so, the same issues arise. No popular support. No accountability for the king. With the Turks just outside their walls, the Byzantine elites debated the gender of angels

a) strawman b) I'm talking about the 10th century model, not the late 15th century model

That is not a strawman lol.

Some monarchs sucked

Feudalism was a Jewish trick.

Some republics sucked

@Jacob it's all good lol

At least with a republic, you can theoretically change the leadership if they do poorly
