      And Germany has a president.

      I can guarantee you that unless you’re german you know that the post exists and even more likely you don’t have a clue who the president is and what they do.

      Whether or not a country has a monarchy doesn’t mean much as far as their system of government. All the Scandinavian countries have royal families, while the US, Israel, and Russia do not. Which countries are the most totalitarian?

        Danish royalty is just as immoral as British royalty. This is pretty much the same as being religious while talking down other religions. No one should be treated like royalty, full stop. Its never made sense and it never will, its just coercion and manipulation turning people against themselves.

          I don’t disagree, but in terms of real world effects the existence of a monarchy is less important than what power they actually wield.

            I think large societies believing in this flawed social structure has immense real world effect, but you are right that not all of them wield the same practical power.

      The fact that like 3/4 of all people are religious says more about the general stupidity IMO
