I just really hope this doesn't become an annual event
You should have all listen to me when I said Democracy had failed
right. because an autocratic government is so much better
it's not like that shit fell flat on its face in WWI and hasn't stopped being BTFO'd since
>Implying the medievals were like that lmao
what was the 30 years war?
A war between catholics and prots which later devolved into a war of succession
The founding fathers didn't have AR-15 as well but I that is irrelevant
it's not really irrelevant. AR-15s don't give you the ability to eliminate life on the planet
the system of monarchies was probably the best system for its time.
but times change
Democracy isn't the opposite of autocracy, it's often the path to it
Times have changed for the worse
what makes you say that?
The divorce rates, the boom and bust cycle, moral relativism, high time preference
And if I remember there is a country that has a mix of democracy and monarchism to this day
Liechtenstein
yeah. it's called a constitutional monarchy
autocrats tend not to like constitutions
Kings had laws before them, they were still subject to it
examples?
perhaps to a higher entity like the church, or to a more powerful kingdom, but not to their own people
@Valet the Clown and all those things you mentioned are a product of post-modernism, not necessarily democracy.
culture is up stream of politics, my dude.
@Dinosorcerer The salic law
ah. yes, the defining negative trait of monarchies
