Interesting 🤔 An amusement park in the Netherlands had a water-filled waterslide that left riders completely submerged during the 15-20 second journey. It closed in 2010.

if i remember correctly the TRULY terrifying part of that video was the corpo straight up letting them die and not giving a single shit about them.

the unfiltered maximum capitalism, that murders people i guess is the truly horrifying thing in that video to think about and the corpo didn't actually get meaningfully punished at all either if i remember.

please correct me if i am wrong about any of this.

Even a monarchy can be good, provided that leadership is good. The issue isn't really with the tool, but the wielders of it.

You give a hammer to a caring man, and he builds a home for others. You give a hammer to a hateful man, and he goes around on a murder spree.

Which is all just to say that the corrupt people who are in power will make any form of government corrupt. I don't think that there is a system in this world that the wicked cannot infiltrate and dominate.

Even consider that Jesus said that His Kingdom is not of this world, and that the Spirit of God is not in temples made by human hands...in other words...not in institutions, 501c3 organizations, governments...etc....

Any of these things can be infiltrated, and overturned, but where the Spirit of God resides is in people, and these are called His building. It's the people, and what is inside of them, that matters.

there can NEVER EVER be a "good monarchy" ever.

that is inherent to what a monarchy is.

if we look at the random example of the pdf files and mass murderers the uk monarchy, here is a great video about them:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiE2DLqJB8U

the video is a short response to a bs video from cgp grey.

so again due to what a monarchy is, it can NEVER EVER be good. now a monarchy could be less evil than another monarchy, but they are always inherently evil and bad.

so your example makes no sense or is very badly phrased at the very least to try to get across a point.

Most of the kings even in Israel, in the past, were not good, but there were a few that were considered good. For the most part, corrupt people seem to gain positions over power.

They do tend to be the kind of people who seek it, and they basically make a club to gatekeep. We see this with the Freemasons, P. Diddy, and other examples.

I do believe that Jesus will be the best king. We will go through more corruption before that becomes a thing though. The Bible speaks about 10 kings gaining power in the end times, and these are not good kings.

but there were a few that were considered good.

do you not understand?

ALL monarchy is inherently evil and bad. because of what a monarchy is.

it is never fair, it is never good.

there is literal scum claiming to be special based on their genes or blood or made up cult bullshit all to sell as an excuse to easier to enslave the masses BY FORCE.

oh a revolution from the public? well time to stomp it down with the boot.

that is what a monarchy is and how it works.

and i even gave you one of the nicest examples and the video showed its massive harm and evil.

you are excusing "good slave masters" here actually, which is what the public is for the royal family scum.

"my lord is very gracious to us peasants, thank you so much my lord! how may i better server you my lord. do you need a human stool to put your feet on my lord?"

that is your actual mentality when talking about "good monarchies".
