I get it, like a Danish Taylor Swift.I’m not a royalist myself, but they represent the official Denmark, its culture and history and are apolitical, so in that regard it is a uniting factor for the nation.
She is Dutch though.
The American system replaced nobles with law degrees(from Ivy schools) but its English common law system. Law is partially independent of all outsiders.This is so embarrassing. Clearly not a trait of a technological advanced society. Welfare recipients are welfare recipients. Hey I am all for UBI but I thought it was universally agreed upon it would be a somewhat fixed rate and not that 0.00001% of the population would get 100000 times more cake than everyone else.
Its Trump-base level stupid. Sorry but it is. False idols.
These idiots cheer this on, take my money, to receive the lower end of a caste-system. Shut the door close the windows on that please.
For context in terms of cost everything royal related adds up to about half a billion while the total amount allocated for core sciences is 20 billion. A king is worth 2.5% science. Come on.
You think so?The American system replaced nobles with law degrees(from Ivy schools) but its English common law system. Law is partially independent of all outsiders.
Technology is irrelevant to the politics pf a location.
Just when I think you’d pass a Turing test, you go and post something like this.The American system replaced nobles with law degrees(from Ivy schools) but its English common law system. Law is partially independent of all outsiders.

Maybe you ate thinking of Terje?I get Dutch and Danish confused.
I though Simone was Finnish at first.
We have a total budget of excess 1B dkk, and some of this go to different cultural activities like national broadcast service, churches, museums, arts etc. I think the monarchy of Denmark as part of this cultural package. One of the longest running reality shows.This is so embarrassing. Clearly not a trait of a technological advanced society. Welfare recipients are welfare recipients.

Some of the most rapid advances and changes of tech occurred when Europe was still under some monarch, like Victoria. In fact, at the time, and I believe in the near future, there was a concern technology related to labor(robots and automation) will create labor strife during the transition. Back then, it was unskilled labor having to operate then-new machines and horrible conditions of having to do work. In the future modern time, it be just no work to get at all as automation and robots takes over. Communism grew out of a response to the times then, and it can come back in the future if sufficiently similar condition re-manifest...than potential toppling of "petitionable regimes" can occur once more, and government monopoly and tyranny gets re-established. I do not expect the stability that has existed since the second World War to last indefinitely; in fact, things might parallel the period between 1750-1850.You think so?
1. You gonna confuse the shit out these people with our definition of billion .We have a total budget of excess 1B dkk, and some of this go to different cultural activities like national broadcast service, CHURCHES, museums, arts etc. I think the monarchy of Denmark as part of this cultural package. One of the longest running reality shows.
The thing is, whether we like it or not, humanity is also about other things than rationality.
Obviously if I had to start a new state, I wouldn't choose monarchy, but I think it is part of our history and culture.
1. Hehe1. You gonna confuse the shit out these people with our definition of billion .
2. Dont get me started on the church!!!
Well, you cant opt out of all of it unfortunately. And then, why just Christianity? Tons of other cults, erh I mean religions, that is equally deserving of our tax payer money. And by equally I mean zero equals zero.1. Hehe
2. As I've grown older, I've come to the conclusion if the majority of the people want to spend money on something relatively innocent as the Danish public church and the monarchy, then there are larger and more important battles to fight. As long as I don't have to pay tax church tax, I can find peace with it apparently is worth something to many, and it doesn't hinder my freedom to do something else.
Same reason as the monarchy, it is our history and prevalent culture. AFAIK the church tax is for the salaries of the employees, while everyone pays for the upkeep of the buildings.Well, you cant opt out of all of it unfortunately. And then, why just Christianity?

And still you came to post in my glorious thread.A monarchy thread...
Pity that I have found something more interesting to do like... watch grass grow in the middle of winter!
