It is sickening when the transition is from one unelected, parasitic, hereditary monarch to her child.

As I replied to the other poster, if you dislike monarchy then thats fine. But you're basically saying you don't like certain rituals because they remind you of a political system you despise, which is a hilariously roundabout way of shoehorning your hatred of monarchy into a thread.

Silly rituals are a pretty big part of monarchies, IMHO because monarchs have always understood they have no legitimate right to rule so they use the pomp and circumstance as a form of fake legitimacy.

Ah, so we should do away with inheritance in general.

Yes, we should do away with all hereditary monarchies. That is a very good idea.
