At the start of WWII the monarchies were symbolic and had no real power whatsoever. Kings or Emperors had absolutely nothing to do with the start of hostilities of WWII.

And forms of government have had nothing to do with preventing war in Europe since.

How is “royal blood” bigoted? That is stupid nonsensical leftist talk.

Western Culture was developed in the time of monarchies.

I would much rather live in Imperial Vienna than in Republican Berlin.

Gee, I thought our founding fathers were pretty anti-monarchy. Were they leftists, too?!

The King of Italy allowed Mussolini to form a government . We know what that led to.The King of Spain abdicated in 1936 opening the door to The Spanish Revolution, often called ‘’the dress rehearsal to WW2. And lets not forget Japans version of a monarchy, it’s emperor who gave his blessing to Japanese depredations in China and we know what that led to. Read a little more history. To me the idea that someone’s blood is different than mine and then structures an entire society and form of government based on this to me is bigoted. Western culture did indeed flourish under monarchies but for centuries their people had little or nothing to say in the affairs of their societies. In any true monarchy you have what ever freedoms you might be granted at the whim of a monarch.
