World History

It's intellectual navel gazing to question retaining the monarchy. Any serious answer of "no, let's get rid of it" will be followed by the next impossible question, "How?"

Dismantling the institution would work if there's a monarch who won't behave himself. But as long as the person on the throne (do they still have thrones?) is well mannered and upholds the public good and engages in periodic acts of charity and commiseration in times of pain and crisis, the monarchy will remain too popular to be gotten rid of.
