    What use is for “soldiers” (they seem more like exhibition pieces…) standing around for someone who just happened to be born in the right family, and now has all the wealth they could ever need and a thousand times more?

    A road facilitates transport, what good is wasting money for a monarch?

    Monarchy defenders perplex me, how can your tongue be so deep in someone’s boot

      Oh, I’m not defending the monarchy at all. They can absolutely go to hell. There is a big leap between “the monarchy is fundamentally evil” and “standard military parade practices around the world are unsafe,” and then to “we shouldn’t let children perform in choirs because they’re constantly fainting.” I latched on to that latter piece because it’s so ridiculous.
