I concur, we should let television shows dictate all of our political thought.

Of all the ways you can support your opinion, you quote a 20-year-old scifi show.

>As I said, these things happen [in a any traditionalist society].

The Romans during their republic had all sorts of totally fucking inane traditions that nobody remembered the reason for, but they did it because that's the way dad did it, that's the way Roma does it, and it worked out pretty well so far.

It's a good show though

Breaking Bad was a good show but that doesn't make Walter White a rolemodel for political theory.

No.

>we worship some politicians who were worse than WW

Other people being fucking stupid doesn't make you less fucking stupid, except in relative terms.

Was Los Pollos Hermanos styled after the Roman Empire? Because the Centauri republic certainly was.

The Romans basically governed themselves like a glorified mafia syndicate so basically.

I didnt say if he would have been a good role model, just that he could have been one.

I think that's pretty cool and romantic desu

That's a cute story though.

In a democracy they would have built a parking lot where the flower stood, the guard would be jobless and smoking crack and the princess would be a foul-smelling hippie with dreadlocks because dad.

>>2787306
That's a beautiful tradition though. In a non-monarchy that moment of pure innocent joy would have been lost forever with no means of rediscovering it, leaving no sign that it ever happened.

In a monarchy even the flowers are remembered.

I've been interested in the idea of Anarcho-Monarchism ever since I read an article by David Bentley Hart on First Things.

The best way to describe it is through the game of Chess. The King can barely do anything, but for some reason he's what the game is all about. The King can take care of roads, bridges, and defense. Everything else is radically subsidized to the common folk. J.R.R. Tolkien espoused these ideas in a letter to his son. Anyone who mentions the word "State" or "Nation", he said, would be promptly executed.

What is anarcho-monarchy? Is it like an irish tuath?

The funny thing is LotGH again and again makes clear why monarchy is a bad system due to the lack of systemic stability and checks and balances (as its even hinted that Reinhard wanted the Neue Reich to become semi-democratised).

If anything LotGH makes a good case for constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy (though the latter is never expressly stated, the structure of the Alliance government is obviously presidential in origin, and is very clearly meant to express the failings of democracy).

Daily reminder that the Narn holohoax never happened and "muh mass drivers" is a lie perpetuated by the eternal redeye to propagate their filthy agenda to decent civilized interstellar polities.

Shadows were right.

Shadows did nothing wrong.
