    Without invoking some kind of mystical divine mandate can you give a single reason why a hereditary for life rule is better than any of the alternatives?

      It encourages politicans to think about the long-term well-being of their country instead of simply stealing everything that isn't nailed down before they get voted out.

          Did the Shah import millions of immigrants into his country the way Canada and Sweden have done? Every country has wealth inequality, but at least Iran probably has a future.

      Paper is really expensive and centrailized rule becomes very hard in preindustrial societies. Peasants also can't read and write, while also spending most of their time labouring to survive.

        How are any of those arguments for monarchy?

          Because every other alternative is more expensive and requires a large mass of the people to be literate at least.

            It requires the same amount of people to be literate, if there's a job within the nation's bureaucracy that requires literacy it'll be the same if it's under a king or under a prime minister.

            So what's the problem with monarchies if its all the same?

            Ideally we want the people in leading positions to be there because they are the most qualified to do the job, not because they were born to the right family.

    True nobility grows from the bottom and diea at the top, thats why it eventually fell out of favor, the bloodline when at the top becomes polluted into their "noble bloodline" at the top, riddled with incest and circular Crown-Grabs. Hence why Romans, Ehyptians, did it.

    Yeah, it can happen at the bottom but the smaller pool makes it exponentially more likely.

      actually I think it would be more accurate to say that they mostly only cares about having the support of landed vessels, and keeping the support of landed vassels meant allowing normal people to be treated like shit

    Monarchism in a pure form is very rare. Most monarchies are actually some version of oligarchy. Oligarchies are still quite common today.

    It ruled for the overwhelming majority of human history. It's been less than two centuries since it stopped being the default, and democracies have already done irreversible biological damage to themselves that can only lead to a dark and brutal age. Once the systems of digital control and physical comfort break down, there will be madness not seen since 1200 BC, and it will be kings, and only kings, who will be able to create healthy societies again. It's the human default, if not nature's default, and it will come again.
