So uh folks are really passing around a post implying that monarchy is magically woke and benevolent if it isn’t white western monarchy?

Idk how you don’t realize that monarchs who tried to protect their country from colonial exploitation were very much the exception to the rule, and most monarchies cut deals with colonizers to let them exploit the common people because “lol k cool, I was doing that already anyway”

Oh wait I know, ridiculously eurocentric views of history and society that completely ignores non western political struggles and social/power dynamics, and repackaging reactionary ideas about the benevolent despot!
