 Its a stupid fucking hat. And pointing that out is not unimportant. These people that rule over us are jokes. Him being a monarch makes no difference to me. I'll continue to point out that the emperor has no clothes. His stupid traditions built up over millennia to lord over an entire populace doesn't change that. I dont really care all that much if you think that's communist. Using the idea that monarchies are better for liberty as compared to democracy as a means to defend a monarch  is absurd to me. And if its not communist itself, its a statism. And that's bad enough for me.
