That doesn’t invalidate anything the person you responded to said. We definitely have our own political insanity to deal with in the US so it’s not like I’m saying we’re better but still, having a monarch in the 21st century is very strange to us. The fact that they don’t usually use the power they have is fine and all but if your system of government relies on the assumption that generations of people born into a royal dynasty lasting hundreds of years will never be assholes who abuse their power then that seems like a bet you’re bound to lose eventually.

Who said it invalidated anything? I figure them still having so much power makes it worse than most people think.
