this thread breaker is brought to you by the letters: c, i, and a. the roman empire was preceded by a 400 year old republic. a republic without endless wars of conquest to maintain an empire. a republic focused on the well being of its citizens, who had duties as well as rights. a republic that stood on the virtue of its citizens. monarchy worked when religious belief was universal. since the reformation, religious belief in the west has steadily declined and plummeted after darwin. monarchies in today's world would be ruled by atheists who truly believe that short of a transhuman body, they are dead when they die and won't pay in the next life for their crimes in this one. so monarchy would be hellish.  now that i've answered the distraction, watch the mike benz episode of rogan, anons, it lays out how the us government paid for and coordinated a network of pro "democracy" ngo's, university centers dedicated to fighting "disinformation" and legacy media shilling designed to censor americans.
