Government systems are not supernatural creations being peddled without evidence or reasoning like religious apologism does and apologists do.

Now it sounds like you're straw manning the government type just because you've been exposed to one version of it, and a poor one at that.

So let me get this straight: the best argument for continuing the monarchy is "well we've been doing it for a while now so we might as well keep doing it"?

It’s disrespectful to most humans to bow to a random person called queen. Since I don’t like being disrespectful, I have disdain for royalty.

If their only defence is 'its a tradition based on things we don't believe' then they've already lost.

"We bow to the institution not the person" how revealing. I'm not sure what's worse, people who simply just like having a monarch and are unaware of the institution, or those who are actively aware of the monarchy as an institution and still choose to bow. I know its annoying these people speak over and interrupt Alex, however in doing so they reveal more and more about their views and how flawed they are.

I felt such joy in watching my distant Irish kinsmen singing, "Lizzy's in box." All caste systems must end, especially monarchies.

Alex was the smartest person in that room by a country mile.

“But we’re bowing to the institution, not the individual.” Wow. It’s incredible how brainwashed people are.

I was thinking exactly the same. And to then compare it to wearing a tie etc...

Goddamn I didn’t think I could love Alex anymore!!!! 😂

It's hilarious how you could send them all spinning in circles with a simple joke. It shows they don't have a leg to stand on

Great points as always. It's a pitty those that criticise it can't get past the "pedantic" part. Monarchy is, always has been and always will be completely opposite to equality, all other issues aside.
