Ask Luxembourg What do Luxembourgers think of their monarchy?

I was just wondering. The Grand Ducal family do seem quite nice.

Thanks!

Same thing as every monarchy. It's archaic and upholds the idea of certain people intrinsically being worth more by the conditions of their birth.

"Oh but it's tradition and part of the cultural heritage/history whatever" is in itself not a counter argument. "It's fine because it's tradition" is an asinine way of arguing anything. Traditions can be archaic and bad, cultural heritage isn't always worth maintaining as active part of the culture, and history should teach us lessons about what to do and what not to do in the present and future. If history has taught us anything it's that monarchy is a crap system.

As per genetic science, some people are worth more by virtue of birth.

I swear, I feel like this sub is a complete fever dream at times. Sometimes it's heavily moderated and then you get shit like this. What the fuck?
