Uhhhhh… No see I DONT want to encourage those things. That’s why I don’t like china

Yes, that’s correct

When did that happen?

Authoritarianism is when people are allowed to petition the government with their grievances

Is it blind hatred to recognize that china is authoritarian? Lol

Nobody is afraid of that. Got any citations to go with that conveniently round number?

China is an authoritarian dictatorship, so if it does anything right that really doesn’t matter.

Not that the US are better but what a wild stance to just decide to take unprompted

Naw fuck AI

I have to imagine if I met any random academic, there is a good chance that would be the case

You’re correct. There are 12 European monarchies but a number of the city-states are not technically EU member states. I should have said Europe rather than EU, and I was outright incorrect to say majority.

Does it change any of what I’ve said? Many of the most well developed countries on the planet are monarchies. The original intent of my post was to call that out

A majority of the EUs member states are monarchies and the Commonwealth nations have not distanced themselves legally or ceremonially on any meaningful way that I’m aware of in recent history

Canada are equally as much a monarchy as the UK in legal and ceremonial mechanisms, same as all the others. Functionally their democracies all work extremely similarly for most Commonwealth derived countries

No it’s not, but all those places are monarchies and derive their law ultimately from the authority from a crown

You’re right about the substance, but are you saying that most of the EU, Canada, Australia, New zealand are not civilized?

Great Britain pays a much LOWER portion of its tax receipts into public healthcare than does the USA. The fact that it achieves far greater results, and for the entire population from cradle to grave is just the result of using it properly.

Never, and don’t wait for them

Ok, those are all crimes.

Naw, why?

I’m not gonna wear them, but we’re talking specifically about public spaces. If someone is invading your privacy none of this applies

Ohhh wow, really triggered you with the world’s tamest insult
