I meam, this is true, but labeling all modern conservatives fans of monarchy is disingenuous. There are also fans of unregulated capitalism, racism, facism und probably many other -isms going around!

They all share a belief in a “natural hierarchy”. Whether that hierarchy emerges from God, the Market, or Pure Ancestors, they’re very similar arguments and they all lead to similar results: An imbalance of power and a group of people (with power) who justify that imbalance with the imbalance itself (I’m better because I have power. I should have power because I’m better.)

The English beheaded their king for claiming to be above the law more than a century before the USA was founded.

Can’t get smaller than one man.

I think instead of having less representatives in government, we should make government smaller by having physically smaller representatives. Like children, or gnomes.

Does that mean the leaf will fall off the tree soon?
