What's the difference

[canetoad]

Between having a monarch and being ruled by the Federalist Society?

An enquiring migrant Antipodean would love to know.

1. I have no idea

I also don't know if you're asking between monarch OR the federalist society.

I guess it depends on the monarch....

UK isn't bad because it isn't really a monarchy. Looks like parliament runs the show over there.

I'm sure there are a few really bad monarchies left in the world, but I just can't think of any.

I would think a parliament would be better, but then I look at Israel and they're pretty messed up.

2. The Federalist Society doesn't wear those funny crowns?

3. The Federalist Society has no concept of noblesse oblige?

9. When he said 'migrant', I thought he was up here.

5. A truly great question

A plutocracy by any other name is still a plutocracy. That said the Federalist Society does not appear to be against a kakistocracy

7. Too early in the morning to have to look things up in the dictionary

However, katisocracy is a pretty good word, certainly in our present situation. See, I already forgot the definition but in essence it’s the rule by the least competent. I’m sticking with easy words till I fully wake, have some coffee, or just go back to bed. The joys of being retired; I could decide to do any of those.

8. Well, the entire population under the monarch know who is their ruler.

Many in the country ruled by The Federalist Society think they still live in a democracy, and are oblivious to who are their real rulers.
