What is scary is how consistently cruel, apathetic and ignorant our plutocrats are, which is exactly why we gave up on monarchy in the first place.

It shows us how capitalism doesn't work and just deteriorates to rule by force (but with more manufactured consent).

We didn't give up on monarchy. We guillotined the fuck out of it.

Hey, only some folk guillotined it away, lots of the rest of us either still have the monarchy, or just kinda wandered off, fought with the monarchy for a little bit and now are on speaking terns but do their own thing.
