Stop slathering to be a slave to a different master over the current one.
The point is to stop being a slave.
*"It is under monarchy that intelligence stands its best chance against its ever present and irreconcilable foe, stupidity." -Arthur Schopenhauer
You want a system that has been proven repeatedly to not work. Democracy is the victory of the stupid over the reasonable.
Yes, that's what I think of when I think of the Hapsburg Dynasty: unflinching competence. /s
Stop it.
Monarchism, hereditary rule, and aristocracy do not prevent stupidity. They don't even really prevent mob rule.
That's right. They don't.
But democracy guarantees it.
So does monarchism, aristocracy, and hereditary rule.
There is a reason the children of very wealthy people blow it all: their lack of strife generates the stupidity that their successful parents rebuffed. The aristocracy is one of the most stupid institutions you could have politically. That's why the elites become out of touch in the first place.
Monarchism doesn't help.
Voting, more than 'Democracy', has a chance of working when managed properly.
