Weird that you're making this a US problem

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 26 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This is the fediverse; shitting on the US is its favorite pastime, even when the US isn't involved.

Well, maybe second favorite pastime after talking about Linux.

That's because he's recently been on a state visit to the US where he was unanimously welcomed by all of Washington, with none of the politicians of either party bringing up how absurdly anti-denocratic and elitist monarchy is.

[–] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 46 points 3 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, while having a monarchy is bullshit, it's still less ridiculous than electing Donald Trump president.

True, but so are 99.999999% of all things that have ever happened in the history of all possible realities.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 32 points 3 months ago (10 children)

Im not really a fan of the monarchy but I feel like your assessment might be a little unfair.

He gave a speech to congress and hilighted a lot of ways in which republicans are undermining democracy, and a lot about how Trump is destabilising global politics for no benefit.

In that speech, literally in the lions den, he was more critical of Trumpism than any world leader has been in recent months.

He can get away with it because hes a head of state, yet he has no control - the unique position of a monarch in a modern democracy.

The silly hat is silly, but traditional garb always is.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Don't forget he is the head of state of a close ally. You should be nice to your allies' heads of state when they visit your country.

At least as a politician. The rest of us can rage

60 bucks that that ugly shit?! Who is buying this ugly shit... Wait. Stupid question.

[–] LuigiMaoFrance@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Look, I hope Trump gets skinned alive like that girl at the end of Martyrs, but that ornament is clearly an entirely different design. Compare the proportions of the top third, and the squiggly bit at the bottom.

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let's be honest it was probably still 60 bucks with the rest of the mark up miraculously ending up in a bank account that can't be traced.

it's interesting, because the royals preach that poor people need help. meanwhile, this douche and his "family" are bringing in millions for doing...... jack fucking shit?

these fucktards wouldn't know a day of struggle in their lives. They're born into privilege, and that's all they know. Fuck the royals.

Yes, I REALLY fucking hate the royals. Much more than regularly billionaires. They're despicable.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 months ago

I don't know if I agree with the regular billionaires being any better (since the vast majority of those owe most if not all of their dragon hoards to privileges not available to regular people and are equally kept from evet losing it via laws that favor them over everyone else), but you're ABSOLUTELY 100% spot on about the rest and I couldn't agree more!

I recently learned that King Charles was good friends with Jimmy Savile. I'm sure it's a coincidence his brother, Andrew, was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Funny how those two child trafficking rings were two degrees of separation.

The sole fact that there are still 43 monarchies functioning globally speaks volumes about the state of humanity.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Whether or not a country has a monarchy doesn't mean much as far as their system of government. All the Scandinavian countries have royal families, while the US, Israel, and Russia do not. Which countries are the most totalitarian?

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Danish royalty is just as immoral as British royalty. This is pretty much the same as being religious while talking down other religions. No one should be treated like royalty, full stop. Its never made sense and it never will, its just coercion and manipulation turning people against themselves.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't disagree, but in terms of real world effects the existence of a monarchy is less important than what power they actually wield.

The fact that like 3/4 of all people are religious says more about the general stupidity IMO

[–] zemo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not all monarchies are the same

I feel very comfortable with saying that they symbolise the failures of the human races much better than almost anything else.

  1. Fascism - there is an obvious link
  2. Classism - there is an obvious link
  3. Pedophilia - there is an obvious link
  4. Colonisation- there is an obvious link
  5. Exploitation ...
  6. Politics by old people for old people
  7. Traditionalism
  8. ...
  9. ...

You get the point. What is wrong with the world? A picture of these people would be a matching picture, no matter what answer you want to provide.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

In the white house, they just put all that shit all over the walls for our pedo king.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We already dealt with that. It's not our job anymore.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You dealt with it? How's that new imperial ballroom and arch coming along?

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Specifically talking about the UK one. We're working on the new guy, just give us a minute.

I DARE you to google "WWF king of the ring", and then click the images tab.

Yes, pro wrestling is all bullshit, but the difference is actual kings wear that garb as tradition dating back hundreds of years. WWF/WWE only did this shit for like 15 years, before they realized it's stupid. But they still DID it for 15 years.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 5 points 3 months ago

Wrestlers wearing royal stuff is kinda parody, plus I assume that the story is that it's more "this guy was strong enough to claim the title of 'king'" instead of being born into it, making it somewhat merit-based (most royal lineages started like that, but most of their heirs are just priviledged douches that are barely not terrible enough to lose the title).

He’s the mascot for the UK version of KFC, which is King Chuckie’s Fried Chicken, & he’s extra crispy!
