The anti Thai king thread

[CountArach]

King cannot afford any criticism. If the royals aren't absolute then they are nothing more then annoying celebrities who reigns high above the commoners. Absolute kings is often popular because they can take out any elements of criticism. Soon as they allow gossiping, they will end up like poor king Louis 16th.

So wait... you are defending the breach of free speech this action represents?

Also Absolute Kings were only ever popular because:
1) The enlightenment had not occurred.
2) The Aristocracy were the only ones they had to keep happy.
Absolute Monarchy is never going to be popular today.

Thailand is not an absolute monarchy.

And just look on the Cambogia record: they became monarchy again. Why? It is obvious that the liberal monarchy stops most of forms of extreme dictatorships

It might have worked well couple hundred years back. Not any more. So yes I did like how it worked but I don't think it will work in most of the countries now days.
Absolute monarchy used to be good. Now it doesn't fit the spirit of the time.

The only reason they fail now is because we know better. They never worked well - people just didn't know any other way.
