“but the institution of monarchy seems to work for the Brits”m
For those who look down on the concept of Royalty, in particular the British royal family, I’m much more interested in British royalty with its thousand years of history and lineage than I am in this Country’s version of nouveau royalty, namely Hollywood. Depends on who you want to emulate and treat as royalty, and we worship trashy, tawdry Hollywood celebrities (not all of them, but many) as our version of royalty.
We have substituted Hollywood as our version of royalty, so as far as I can tell, we are far worse off in this Country with our faux royalty than by those on this thread that knock the British royal family who at least practice service to others and loyalty to their country as versus the heor worship of the socialist egomaniacs that infest Hollywood.
heor = hero above. Typo.
And even in our Hollywood ‘royalty’, we used to have quite a few more admirable people than we have now.
