Oddbean new post about login | logout Im an American & I don’t give a single fuck what a foreigner thinks when their country is run by a bunch of Inbred family members called the monarchy
Monarchs don't run countries any more than actors run a shakespeare play
I'm American and I think constitutional monarchy is a better form of government than representative democracy.
As an American why?
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. Monarchies have a better incentive for the monarch to have a lower time preference.
your country and mine are run by the same families, brother. There are no borders. I didn't choose "my flag" and neither did you.
I completely disagree. I choose my flag by staying in the country I was born.
