Democracy is woefully overrated and it's praise is largely because the dominant victor of WWIII said it was good so everyone had to believe it was good, but the fact of the matter is that it has only lasted ~300 years and has already deteriorated into tyranny.

Britain had ~400 years about as good as ol usa

Rome had at least 1000 years of peace comparable to the USA

And Egypt probably had ~3000 years+ of genuinely good rule for the people (hard to say it was very different than now)

    Username checks out.

    ... you do realize that the UK has been a democracy since its inception, right?

    Stultus esne?

    Of the Roman Kingdom, Roman Republic, and Roman Empire, only a handful of years, by their own admission, involved peace. See: the Gates of Janus.

    Jesus fucking Christ.

    Is there a point here other than bootlicking for monarchy to seem 'edgy', or...?
