subsume

[다니엘쌤]

The surprising survival of monarchies is in part of a tribute to the nous of the old guard, who have understood the need to subsume their interests into those of the institution.

군주제가 어떻게 현대에 살아남았을까

일본의 황제가 아들에게 왕권을 넘겨주고 태국 왕이 즉위하면서 군주제가 번창하고 있다.

AMMAN, BANGKOK AND TOKYO

On april 18th Akihito, the 125th emperor of Japan and descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu, returned to a shrine the sword extracted by Amaterasu’s brother Susanowo from a vanquished monster’s tail and a necklace stolen by Susanowo from his sister, thus reuniting them with a mirror used to tempt Amaterasu out of the cave where she had hidden from her brother. This ceremony, pictured above, was one of nine required before the emperor’s abdication on April 30th, which will bring an end to the Heisei (“achieving peace”) era. The next day, his son, Naruhito, will ascend the throne, and a new era, Reiwa (“beautiful harmony”), can begin.

If monarchy did not exist, nobody would invent it today. Its legitimacy stems from ancient ritual and childish stories, not from a system based on reason and intended to achieve good governance. It transfers power through a mechanism which promotes congenital defects rather than intelligence. It is sexist, classist, racist and designed specifically to prevent diversity, equality and personal merit from creeping into its inbred ranks.
