Celestia is a terrible ruler

Even though my opponent states the BoP is on her, I will still provide evidence of an effective leader before getting into the rebuttals.1. No pony ever rebells.Okay, so Celestia failed 5 freaking times to keep her empire in good shape, as my opponent claims, yet no pony rebells? This obviously shows that they either love Celestia too much or Celestia looks benevolent but secretly rules with an iron fist. As far as we are concerned, it is more than likely the former: the ponies love Celestia too much. The evidence is that "she watches with a smile on her face when Pinkie Pie devours one of the her cupcakes, while Mrs. Cake gasps and drags Pinkie away." [1] Even if I believe that Celestia has not managed to maintain Equestria's sovereignty, there still remains proof that the ponies love her too much to rebell, and her weird way of ruling remains effective since nobody rebelled. 2. The Evidence that Those Villains Were Defeated Before....and Had Been Defeated By the End of an Episode.Celestia may have struggled to prevent those villains from beating her down, but she had actually been successful before. Tirek? His brother told Celestia and she did the rest of the work. [2] Discord? He got sealed in stone. [3] Nightmare moon? She was successfully banished to the moon. [4]Furthermore, even with her weird ways, Twilight was able to defeat those villains as they returned, and by the end of season 4, no villains rule Equestria. Now, you may say "TWILIGHT DID IT, NOT CELESTIA!" I must remind you that we are talking about whether or not Celestia is an effective ruler, NOT whether or not she has an effective army.Here, let me compare this scenery to Obama. Let us assume that some how, Obama was kidnapped, and one of his secret agents managed to single-handedly capture the one who kidnapped Obama, and the kidnapper was arrested. In this case, is Obama a terrible ruler? No, he just happens to have terrible security. You need to prove that these people managing to overcome Celestia proves her to be a terrible ruler. If Obama's army was overcome by, say, Russia's army, that doesn't prove Obama a terrible ruler! Just because Obama's army is bad does not mean he is a bad ruler!!3. Tirek Stuff.Obviously Celestia had not met the real, ultra-sly Tirek, but rather, the power-hungry, force-using Tirek. Who was to know there was someone as sly as Discord?? There is nothing to suggest Tirek even thought about manipulating Celestia. As shown in source [5], even Rainbow Dash, the element of loyalty, had her element used against her. Celestia could not possibly predict this; as far as she was concerned, Discord was an insane greedy guy who randomly ate some snacks when he was about to die. And again, with Tirek, the villain could have been acting like just a power-hungry antagonist who never revealed his slyness and cleverness. Celestia's plan with Discord would have worked had not Tirek been so sly and manipulative. In addition, Celestia practically put a test to Discord; she belives that he has it in him to change, and at first he did--he immediately jumped to his job and arrested Tirek. It was only because of Tirek's incredible persuasion "speech" did Discord join his ranks.Again, compare this to Obama. If Obama does not realize there is a traitor within his ranks, is he a bad or an ineffective ruler?? Not necessarily. It could just mean Obama is bad at spotting traitors, or that traitor is really really good at hiding/acting.And finally, the battle between Celestia and Tirek--it would not be easy to defeat Tirek, since he had absorbed so much power. Furthermore, even Twilight struggled to not get her power obtained by Tirek.And when last comes to last, we know what Tirek goes with--strategical manipulative slyness. Why, if Tirek put the mane six in danger, Celestia would know even if they defeated Tirek, Discord would easily walk around and rule the whole place easily, since, there will be no elements of harmony to defeat him, in addition, if they tried their old way, Discord could predict this, and hide away the elements easily, teleporting them to a place that could never be reached.If Discord can eat paper, [5] then he can definitely eat the elements of harmony. :PToo bad he didn't think of that in the first place.In conclusion I have shown Celestia to be an effective ruler and rebutted my opponent's arguments.[1] http://mlp.wikia.com...[2] http://mlp.wikia.com...[3] http://mlp.wikia.com...[4] http://mlp.wikia.com...[5] The Youtube Video near the top about Discord eating paper http://www.youtube.com...;
