I'm not against republicanism. Your example, 'Great time to abolish the monarchy. Monarchies are fucking stupid', is not an interesting or well though-out comment. If that's all the effort this commenter felt like giving to this forum, then it should be down-voted.

A lot of us here are coders and we appreciate concise code. Why not, then, concise arguments? Bias wrapped in fake nuance is obvious and time-wasting. "Fucking stupid" is an apt description of monarchism in this day and age.

Concisely: this argument is unconvincing.

But how do you know it is "fake nuance" rather than genuine explanation? By being uncharitable?

Concision means expressing a lot of information in few tokens.

Name-calling and other kinds of fulmination don't express much information.
