We should make it a capital offense for a monarch or inherited noble of any kind to set foot in the US. Being a monarch of any kind is a crime against humanity. I don't care how "constitutional" a monarch is. You're still talking about a monster that dares to claim power over others simply by right of birth.
We should still be open to diplomatic relations with monarchies. I'm willing to deal with diplomats, but this land should be unsullied by the rot of kings. The US really should be one of the most anti-monarchist nations on Earth. In fact, whenever I see one of my fellow citizens fawning over British royalty I want to call them a traitor to the Republic and everything the nation is supposed to stand for. Kings and Queens are not good people. Even the Constitutional ones are mincing freaks quietly waiting on the political sidelines, hoping for the day when democracy trips up and they can reclaim full power. Do you not think that deep in his heart, Chuck wishes he could be an absolute monarch just like his ancestors? He absolutely does. They all do. And that's why they all should be forced to either give up their crowns or give up their heads.
It should be a capital offense for any monarch or noble to set foot on US territory. Simply being a monarch on US soil should be enough to get your head cut off. Honestly, monarchs deserve far worse.
Does your country simply want to have someone that fills the role of a king or queen? Fine. Hold an election and elect a non-hereditary, ceremonial king. That's perfectly acceptable. But actual hereditary monarchs? They all deserve to have their head in a basket. Being a monarch is a crime against humanity. I consider crazed ax murderers to be better people than kings.
A king is nothing more than the descendant of a serial killer that killed so many people he was able to claim total power.
Are you okay?
No.
Yeah i feel that. Id answer the same.
While I'm personally against the monarchy, we're all descendants of questionable people, at some point. For a few hundred years the Royals have been born into it. Some have maintained a vague sense of duty and decency, others have been self-absorbed idiots. I don't think being anything your born into is a crime, as such. I actually think Elizabeth II did a decent 'job' and Charles likewise. I just think the entire institution should be abolished.
