@SnarkyRevAlan@WyoAnarchist Since you blocked me (like a girl), I will say this with my backup
Ah yes, an Inquisition of Catholic clergy established by a Papal Bull to work hand in hand with secular powers to try and kill people. What am awful example
Oh wait, no it's almost exactly what I'm talking about
@Man_archist Even if the head of state weren't elected by the ppl, but Parliament or an electoral college, the politicians would need to respond to that, especially if they supported that head of state. Otherwise, we would vote accordingly. Monarchs are accountable to a sky wizard.
@MarcoRossi1989 Policies that earn the trust of the people are bound to be disastrous. Our nation's worst presidents are consistently considered the greatest
And precisely, I'd rather have the ruling class' illegitimacy be obvious than obscured by democracy.
@MarcoRossi1989 Why monarchy is preferable is that it creates a different incentive structure for managing the state. Democratics want to exploit it during their term & buy votes. To the monarch it is more of a long term asset they possess
And as Hoppe put it, you'll always get a bad elected...
@Rothmus Not that I'm familiar with his propaganda, but I doubt Gheghis Khan said he was spreading empire in the name of egalitarianism
And even when in the name of altruism, they were never actually perpetrated with those motives
