Many natives of Hawaii consider their kingdom to be illegally occupied by the USA, and I don't suppose they would be especially happy about trading the USA for a new colonialist occupier. The Kingdom of Hawaii was a marvel of the world and deserves to exist again.
hat tip to Silver Spook
Queen Liliuokalani deserves to have her name heard. And the US and the Dole Corporation both owe Hawaiians their sovereignty back.
Hell's no to any kingdom
When the great and powerful democracy of the United States of God or whatever the fuck your despot wants the world to call it this week cannot even match the quality of life previously provided by a small tribal kingdom, Americans forfeit the right to an opinion on the matter.
American here. Fucking true, brother. You tell 'em!
I'm not an American...
I'm also simply saying that ANY kingdom is bad. If you come up with whatever reason like "but muh king is the best!" It's still bad. It's still a kingdom meaning that rights are restricted.
I want another leader? Well, too bad, it's not a democracy.
I want to publicly disagree with the leader? Maybe this king allows it. Will their offspring allow it too? No guarantees
I want to publicly criticize the dear king, or maybe insult him?
Do I really need to explain this? The Netherlands still has a king but he has zero power and is purely symbolic. That would be fine if they weren't so fucking expensive.
If you have a king with absolute power them you're screwed one way or the other, today or tomorrow, but it will go badly
There are good kingdoms in the world.
See the Kingdom of Bhutan.
Great .
What if the current king dies?
Also, what is "good" here? Can I insult the king? Can I criticize the king? Can I object to decisions from the king? Do I have the freedom to protest?
That's the thing about democracies, if done right they can always have good leadership.
Canada ain't all that bad.
