United States Politics: ∆τ_i*ε*φ*m_i<0 where ε=4 and φ=0.25

You were were asked what you meant, a mere declaration of terms and definitions, and you couldn't answer. Now you deflect, quoting a man that represented a Constitutional Monarchy in itself all while saying there was never an example of good monarchy. You also use the books of the victors of Democracies and Republics, who have all the incentive to defame monarchies as history is written by the victors. Yet monarchies were used for thousands of years and arguably is our default political system as humans. Monarchy is good and better for society.

I didn't answer because it's irrelevant, I'm asking you to supply the better monarchies. Yeah, duh, I think Westerners in liberal democracy are better off in every way than every society in human history, that's not the radical claim that needs somebody to do the effort to prove since it's obvious. And I knew from the start you'd decry every measure for some personal hangup you have about everyone needing to obey a violently imposed moral authority.

It's what your complaints have always been, that's why you jump from authoritarian ideology to authoritarian ideology, only to be disappointed and have to jump to a new one because they always and forever fail since what they try to offer is impossible.

Now you're running to the typical reactionary/leftist claim that all of human history is just false propaganda and you know the real truth from peering in the soul of the universe. And the cosmic truth is absolute state control of everything. Boring. 

If things are so great then why the high rates of depression? Why do so many feel aimless? Why the low birth rate? Why do people complain they can't even own a house? If it's better, why are people rioting every four years?

Monarchy is natural. Republics are unnatural. You've read Plato's Republic. You know the truth. You've read John Adams decimating Democracy as a limited form of government that needs the right keys.

Democracies and Republics are as probably as old as monarchies and yet time after time they sink to the bottom of the water like the most lofty of trash.

Yes, a monarchy is authoritarian and I relish in the fact it is. Look at the above. This land needs order. All this talk of individualism and freedom and muh rights. King George had less power than a modern President and USA scapegoated him as the problem when it was Parliament. King George himself supported the abolishment of slavery and many other reforms. He was far better and moral than our crowd of crooks known as the Founding Fathers.

"We had no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a The Roots of the Crisis net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

and

"Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to Say that Democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious or less avaricious than Aristocracy or Monarchy. It is not true in Fact and no where appears in history. Those Passions are the same in all Men under all forms of Simple Government, and when unchecked, produce the same Effects of Fraud Violence and Cruelty."

- John Adams

What, in these times, unites us? We live in okay times but you completely dismiss the benefits monarchy gave us, many of which these times lift from the direct fruits of monarchy.

For all of your victories look at how swift the veil of Republicanism falls, revealing a pale face of cronyism, oligarchy, Super PACs, lobbyists, and more. Yes, a king can be tempted to be led by outside interests but with Republics it's baked in. Look at how many rebellions there were in America alone within twenty years of its existence. Look at how every four years people protest because a President of the party they don't vote for got elected. Look at how your beautiful Republic descends into ashes where the most bare minimum legislation is deadlocked due to partyism.

Republics are a failed form of governance. Plato was correct: aristocracy and monarchy are the best form of governance.

As for your question, name me a President with the rigot and leadership of Baldwin IV, who, despite Leprosy and pain led his troops into battle, defeating an army of over 26,000 with a mere 375. Name me a President that can contend with King Louis IX: ascetic, defender of the poor, legal and administrative reformer, patron of the arts. Show me an American leader, outside of Washington (whom the people begged to be King), with this kind of rigor and love for his people.

Re-read Plato's Republic. You know it to be true.

As someone who actually took history courses in college with a focus on the Crusades, just your knowledge of Baldwin shows me you're stupid as hell. Go on Chief. Keep telling us what you know about the crusades. I have a direct paternal line to a famous crusader. This is going to be good. Keep going. Tell us about monarchies too and how great they are. Or is this some kind of comedy bit I don't know about? Some kind of fat4all for all character you're playing.
