Bro if you can't see a king sitting on a throne in a room of gold with an expensive hat on bemoaning the rising costs for his people as ridiculous I'm sorry. You can pontificate on how that came to be and call people commies for pointing out the absurdity of it but it doesnt change the absurdity.  Your first response to me was I sound like a commie. So dont act like ad hominems are what youre really upset about. You were defending monarchy as if nobody on nostr has read Hoppe or something.
