  • Wanted to say, I have two smaller ones and a medium mall, all within a 5 minute walk, all of them busy. But all of them also include supermarkets, the Aldi I always go to is in one. Its super convenient, when I come from work by train, I walk 1 minute from the station through the mall to the supermarket, pick up some stuff, exit on the other side of the mall and walk like 3 minutes home.


  • TLDR: Hard disagree on almost anything you just said

    Well historically it is not a terrible system, it is very stable and tends to not self implode regularly like democracy does.

    Yeah if you ignore for example wars of succession, because of incestuous family ties, arbitrary rule, repression and exploitation of its citizens, one could call it stable… Although the escalation and tyranny unfortunately are baked into the system.

    if you look at monarchies historically they tried very very hard to avoid having rebellions in their hands and usually worked in the interest of the nation, as the interest of the nation was the interest of the monarch.

    Have you ever read history books? Sure some rulers may have had that kind of view but theres also plenty of megalomaniacal, terribly violent and unjust rulers in those big ol books of history. And since it is an imposed rule of tyranny there’s really only violence to get rid of an unjust ruler, you know a neat thing about democracy? Violence is the last resort to getting rid of rulers because we can vote! Crazy right?

    So if a democratic nation seems headed towards anti democratic rule, it would seem to me that a better goal would be to install a monarchy instead of a fascist.

    In that case- what’s the fucking difference? Oh, to avoid an autocracy let’s install an autocracy with cherry flavor… Great?
