Monarchies > Democracies [Thread]

Democracy is based on the fact that 1 man = 1 vote.

aka; power to the people.

In reality, democracy is the rule of the least common denominator: Idiocy. https://twitter.com/JamesCaird7/status/1247504020979298304

Politicians have relatively short political horizons; they are often in office for terms of less than 5 years. So they find their duties regularly interrupted by elections that distract from the job of addressing long-​term policy challenges.

As a result, politicians are naturally and rationally drawn to focus their efforts on seducing their electorates with short-​term sweeteners — including economic policies designed to quickly produce favorable monthly inflation, unemployment, and GDP numbers.

There is an inescapable biological inequality and thereby natural hierarchies, the individual is naturally subordinated to social collectivities such as the family, the society, and the state.

Hierarchies are inherent to human nature.

It is time to consider the merits of monarchy objectively without resorting to the tautology that countries ought to be democracies because they ought to be democracies:

1- Monarchs represent the whole country in a way that democratically elected leaders cannot and do not.

(Monarchies>Democracies)

2- The choice for the highest political position in a monarchy cannot be influenced by and in a sense beholden to money, the media, or a political party.

3- Monarchies unites diverse and often hostile ethnic groups under shared loyalty to the monarch instead of to an ethnic or tribal group. (ex. Belgium; KSA; Hasburgs kingdoms)

4- Monarchies prevent the emergence of extreme forms of government in their countries by fixing the form of government.

All political leaders must serve as prime ministers or ministers of the ruler.

5- Monarchies are repositories of tradition and continuity in ever-changing times. They remind a country of what it represents and where it came from, facts that can often be forgotten in the swiftly changing currents of politics.
