    Yeah see the thing is everyone who defends constitutional monarchy does so by saying "The king's not supposed to be an actual 'ruler' at all, it's like hiring someone to be the mascot of a sports team" But outside of these debates they try not to break kayfabehttps://twitter.com/GALaBonty/status/1369008364278087680 …

    Plus like te emperor of Japan is explicitly *just* a figure head under the post-war constitution. The queen of England is still nominally the chief executive who conventionally yields power to the prime minister but could in theory still choose to act as the executive

        Like if you ACTUALLY SAY "The Queen has no power, her job is just to wear a silly hat on her head for photo ops and preside over fancy dinners" then you're breaking the magic

        If you actually write a Constitution that says "You have no authority, you're a state employee who takes orders (from the Household Ministry) and doesn't give them, your job is to wear the hat" then it starts looking like a job no one would actually want

        I mean, it's fucked up, right It doesn't sound like a privilege when you put it like that, it sounds like a shitty burden If it's a job, it's a job these poor saps were born into and had no choice over, it's a kind of slavery

        Replying to @arthur_affect

        I've heard folks make the case that it's good to have the nominal leader of your country be outside of party politics, but if you've got multiple houses and throw a fit when your son brings home a non-white girl I think we know exactly where you land on the political spectrum.

        I think that reinforces the point that “political neutrality” is inherently conservative. Avoiding controversy is considered a “duty” of the Royal Family but that makes you supportive generally of the status quo.

        Probably helps that this isn't exactly a particularly novel arrangement in the context of Japanese history.
