I know we supposed to hate the monarchy ..but dedicating all your life to service of the people is

[dora_da_destroyer]

Tax payer funded lifestyle of wealth .
Steve Kerr ain't coaching The Windsors ain't servicing shyt.

this...oh how hard it must be to play dress up in a billion dollar family with no need to work as both private and public wealth lines your bank accounts. them being trapped by the formalities required to be in the public eye is the least they can do to "earn" that bread

Her monarchy was being supported by the exploitation of those nations. Aka that is where her money was coming from. Even after independence she would visit those countries and pet their puppet Presidents on the heads. So she clearly wielded power even though you are stating that it was mostly ceremonial, but she never returned the shyt that her predecessors looted.

It’s no point breh. They not even trying to understand. People killed tortured and land taken away in the queens name, regardless of who all was involved with the decision to colonize this place or that on or that one. And all those conquered lands were and many still forced to pledge allegiance to her. While she grins and sips tea in her palace funded directly by the conquer and genocide of people of the world especially black ones. The nerve for anyone who feel anything but dislike for such a evil woman and her government is a coward and lacks backbone. And if black … that person has no empathy with non American blacks

 

[Coco Loco]

Pretty sure they could have you killed while you were on English soil.

They're rich of course they have power

I think you have me confused with someone else

 

[Sindicated]

So what power do they have? No troll, I'm curious. Is it influence?

Banks.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Ancestors???? You should maybe study history and what was accomplished (colonized) during her era as well. She was in rule while people all over the world were being tortured and put in concentration camps by her and the governments hands. Stop…Are you fukking serious? Go read a book! So many black people died at the hands of British rule and til this day have to pledge their alleged r to this bytch who took their land and tortured they people. fukk outta here with that weak shyt. We not talking before her. We talking during her rule.

She wasn't ruling NOTHING tho.

The crown had lost its power by the time she became queen. Even if she had an issue with something that the English government was doing (which I don't know whether she agreed or not), they wouldn't have stopped cause she wanted them to.

Y'all have no idea what the powers of the monarchy of England currently are.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

I think you have me confused with someone else

Nah I mean if you were ever over there they could have you touched....

Realistically probably just deported though

I believe their power is behind the scenes and influential.

 

[WhenWeWereKings]

Coli cac fake intellectuals are trying to hold debates as to why the queen wasn't so bad, meanwhile in the real world, millions of ppl from many different countries are celebrating her demise.

The fact that you idiots don't or won't comprehend why so many people disliked her and what she represented, shows how fuking clueless you idiots are on the subject.

 

[GPBear]

I dont hate the monarchy. I'm indifferent. I don't blame Elizabeth specifically for colonialism anymore than I blame any single white American for slavery. It's a collective thing that their ancestors partook in.

All these people using her death to pop off with the hateful comments and jokes comes off corny to me. But like I said, I'm indifferent so I don't care all that much either.

She had no power during those dates. I dont think the crown wielded any real power during her entire tenure as queen.

Y'all acting like she was personally sending English soldiers to Africa and using royal guards to crack black folks heads when the reality is... nah.

Any action England was taking in her lifetime was out of her control. She wasn't running things.

The fukk are you even talking about

She’s used parliamentary rules to influence political discourse and laws for the last century. Actively opposed independence movements. Actively in charge of the Troubles. I could go on. She was the head of the imperialism, and said as much. You’re acting like she was 107 her entire life, PMs all go through her.

Even if she was just a figurehead (which she wasn’t) she was directly benefiting from colonialism on a daily basis.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

lol @ yall talking about she has no power....are we going to pretend like old money families aint the ones pulling the strings of entire economies, fronting the people who run for and get in office, etc. the Rothschilds aint in politics, bezos aint in politics, etc but you'd be dumb as fukk to act like they don't have power

As an American I'm indifferent this the African and Carribean brehs battle.

I'm saying that she was mostly a figurehead. And yes, i would agree that as a figurehead, she benefited from colonialism. But so does every other white person in this global system of White supremacy. So I don't put all my ire on one person. I dislike all of you white people equally.

I don't have any special hatred for the queen as a white woman benefiting from white supremacy. I dislike her as much as I dislike you as a white person.

I personally believe that this current narrative about "it's the queen's fault!" is a narrative that's being perpetuated by agents on behalf of white people (like yourself) to turn our attention away from white people as a whole, to instead focus on one woman.

Tell me, why should I hate the queen of england any more than I hate you? Cause I don't like white people. I won't even pretend with you about that.

So why should I hate you any less than I hate her?

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

Is sad because they have no power so it’s all for show and tell. If it came with some real power I’d respect it but it’s merely an exaggerated prolonged game of dress up

They do have the power, they choose not to exercise it.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

They do have the power, they choose not to exercise it.

What power do they have? And why would they choose not to exercise it?

You're going to want to rethink this. Do not underestimate these snakes.
