only reason monarchies aren't bloody is because the US basically destroyed them all after WWI

So we conveniently forget tyrannical and oppressive monarchies, as many of them go, centuries of the same power structure...
Straw man. Nobody conviently forgot about them.

I’m actually fine with power changing hands and all that comes with it, it’s part of democracy. Especially if you’re black in non black nations, there’s enough stacked against you in being able to gain some political capital, last thing I’m looking for is a power structure that firmly locks me on the outside and is “justified” in doing so because it’s a family affair.
WTF!?

Won’t even get into the ridiculous wealth that get accumulated in monarchies.
Don't bother. You'll only make yourself look even more foolish.

fukk no, leave that shyt in the 18th/19th centuries

You realize modern map boundaries are amalgams of former kingdoms, right?

Go back even prior to WW1 and the map looked insane.

The American education system in action.
Justify the sheer corruption and bloodiness of republics by saying monarchies were bloody during previous centuries. That's like saying a woman leaves an abusive man then finds another abusive man and that abusive man saying to her, "At least I wasn't abusing you like your previous partner.":stopitslime::mjlol:

Yup.

Losers lost their shirts or heads.

Bolsheviks/Communism/French Revolution

Sectarian differences in central/eastern Europe

WWI was the end of European monarchies for the most part

you're acting like monarchies weren't tyrannical and bloody and I rode the short bus?

good luck with your trolling
Again with the straw man. I never said that monarchies weren't or couldn't be tyrannical or bloody. I said republics on average are more tyrannical and bloody. The 20th century has shown this to be the case.

Wars were happening religiously before the 20th century, technology enabled larger scale war but we also don’t see large wars between world powers the way it happened frequently in the 17th-early 20th centuries.

No one needs monarchies, thanks. But please feel free to go move to a,country that has one

You don't say. Also most war throughout human history weren't religious.

Not yet. However what has this gotta do with republics bloodiness and tyranny?

I live in one. The UK. Keep thinking republics rule better than monarchies. China, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya certainly don't have any problems.
