>>20169 (OP)

I've always seen the Queen as England's version of Betty White.
(283 KB, 220x183, popcorn-movie-time.gif)
Then again, all hell is going to break loose when she passes. It's going to be a show to watch from across the world.
I am pretty sure people did not care when Prince Phillip died, and people won't care when the queen dies. The whole family is too dysfunctional to work as constitutional monarchy.
Insane this is still a thing in 2022. The idea some pale, dull, inbred family somehow possesses certain DNA that entitles it to lead a major modern country should have been anathema 300 years ago. How can anyone in the UK possibly claim to be anti-racism if they support the theory one is autimatically born superior to someone else because of their bloodline?

Whatever the reasons, Harry had the right idea. This is a good time for the UK to start dissassembling the institution for good, or at least make it purely a ceremonial thing. And make whoever's left work for their lifestyle and privileges. No more bullshit like Liz showing up to events (her only real job) sour-faced like someone has a fucking gun to her head. No more Charles spouting off on shit he has no idea about because no one has ever told him he's stupid and wrong (except his colonialist dad). No more covering up for racists, Nazi sympathizers or pedophiles.
>>20175
The queen pretty much died around 1:36pm where I live. I just returned to from the barber and the driving school when I found out. I don't have time for royal family drama because I have to be back at work tomorrow.
>>20175

I bet my left tittie that Harry would still be in that palace with the rest of them if he never met Meghan.

Betty White my hole...

A few words on the late Liz with myself being an Eirebro

Fuck her honestly

To all those who support the monarchy, what the british empire stood for and the partition of Ireland, hold this L...

She was the embodiment of the establishment who colonised, exploited and starved my country for centuries. However Ireland is not alone having faced such injustices

People like to say "oh but that was a long time ago, its not the same" bro she was LITERALLY queen when there were still colonies

The reason the queen had such high approval rating is because she said fuck all. Everything was carefully constructed to ensure she never said anything to cause controversy e.g. political opinions, personal beliefs etc. This way you had less of a reason to hate her, you knew too little to form a valid opinion. As much as Philip was another great L for Britain at least he was a bit cheeky and and said some things he shouldn't have, giving him more depth

People like to forget what the empire did. If it wasn't for Germany in WW2 the British Empire would be rightfully recognised as the one of the most exploitative empires in history. Make no mistake, the monarchy isn't some little nod to the past, a tourist trap to get people to visit but a living embodiment of the establishment who still benefits from the exploits of its "former empire"

Knock knock

Who's there?

Not the queen anyway, thank fuck

Lizzy's in a box, hallelujah
oh no, the foreigners on bbwchan are saying it's wrong for me to mourn the death of my head of state. I can feel racism and the shadow of imperialism fade and the world becoming a fairer and more just place as all these people come out of the woodwork to celebrate the death of a 96 year old woman.

No one is criticising the royals because we don't accept cultural differences. It's because the institution of royalty is insane on it's face, not to mention damaging to social progress and democracy and we don't understand why Brits put up with it. It's like if your cousin is in an abusive relationship but keeps insisting everything is great.

Because the rest of the civilized world has rejected the concept of divine right to rule and has opted for mandate by the masses. Which is why the monarchy has been relegated to a glorified celebrity with influential power rather than political. So let's stop pretending they're anything but.

I don't really care about this Queen drama unless we're talking about the band, but I'm always curious - do Americans know about Margrethe, Carl Gustaf, Harald, Felipe, etc? Not that it refutes your point because 95% of Europe are full republics still, but I'm just curious because I never hear them get mentioned lol
>>20249
So they're currently celebrities that don't have any meaningful power, not the tyrants you originally made them out to be.
Understood. Glad you concede that point.
Now you've decided they have no meaningful power, why do you think that its bad they exist?
>>20251
Not so much bad, just pointless. You have a governing body. Why do you need a King? I can't think of any reason besides "for funsies", but that's an expensive funsies when you could invest that tax money back into your economy for literally anything else.
>>20250
It does kinda refute anon's point but scandinavia exists in a microcosm. they're kinda insulated from the rest of the worlds bullshit politically. economically they're still a big player so idk
Because billions of people believe tradition and culture have value anon. It's that simple. People literally fly in from around the world to pay their respects and celebrate different cultures. It's why people travel.
Our differences is what makes people interesting. It's not always optimal, but to pretend there's no value is fucking social brain damage.
>>20255
Cool. Well, I don't, for the same reason I don't venerate American Civil War history for the Confederacy. And for plenty of other cultures that have had their history affected by the British monarchy within the past 100 years, I'm sure they're super jazzed.

Not at all empty. Damaging to democracy because your head of state is an inherited position, who is also the head of the Anglican Church. Separating church and state is integral to democracy. Otherwise you’re Iran.

Damaging to social progress because royalty is part of a formal class system that decided people’s destiny based on birth. The idea of “superior bloodlines” is something that should have died 300 years ago. I know things have loosened up in the UK in that regard to class over the last 80 years or so, so why not go all the way and get rid of your monarch?

Quick Google check says your population is .43% jewish, 5th largest in the world. Your country has always let them in, and you still do. When I went to college in London for a year I met plenty of them. In fact half my family went to Wales when they were kicked out of Russia, before trading up to the US. And it makes sense you guys let us in, because we work our asses off, value literacy and education, have strong family structures, and don't drink ourselves into catatonia every day and then beat the shit out of each other like native Brits. And knowing the natives will turn on us when things go bad, rather than face their own shortcomings, we're flexible as well. It's not some sub-Lovecraft bullshit Elders of Zion "conspiracy" that we dominate media, finance, literature, the arts, and just everything else. It's that we have our priorities straight and don't get overly distracted by nationalism, soccer, and other useless bullshit like Brits do.

what? I don't understand your point, I was referring specifically to the americans in this thread spreading weird disinformation about my country but your example is just a general childish strawman giving a stock insult which is entirely unrelated to the subject of misinformation. us europeans really do live rent free in your americans heads, huh. whenever you get into arguments with us you just start reeing and complaining that some of us called you retarded in the past. You guys are so insecure that one american in this thread has rage-posted 13 times in this thread lol
>>20815
There's a discussion to be had, and maybe a fat fetish site isn't the place to have it lol... But I'll give it another shot:

Obviously the core of the disconnect is that for us the royals are just celebrities — we don't have a real emotional/cultural connection to them. But for some of us (like me) it's hard to dismiss the royals in the same way I can legit not GAF about, say, the Kardashians.

If the monarch is just "a symbol" (and I'd argue he/she isn't) then symbolically they represent the idea that some blood is better than others, and that blood gives its carriers rights and privileges others don't and actually can't have. It seems so bafflingly medieval and unenlightened, from a country that in many ways is more modern and progressive than mine.
>>20838
principally I agree with you, I would like my country to eventually become a republic but what kind of republic, what kind of head of state would we have? would they be elected by members of parliament or by a popular vote? would they be purely ceremonial like the current monarchy or would they be given real powers such as appointing the prime minister or vetoing ministerial positions?
we've already been going through brexit which I opposed and I've hated the political polarisation and power grabs from the right wing throughout the process. I want a republic but any concrete talk of it stresses me out tbh, our current monarchic system isn't perfect but it functions well and it gives us some neat ceremonies and traditions that make us stand out (many brits won't admit it but we can be a bit insecure about ourselves at times, hence the rabid brexit debate. having a largely ceremonial institution at the heart of things that is set in stone and doesn't change can be comforting tbh). Some people worship the monarchy and that's cringe, but I do respect the reigning monarch. the princes and princesses can be shit though, thank god prince andrew wasn't directly in line for the throne or I would've become a hardcore republican lol. I'm speaking as someone from the more distant northern part of the UK btw, not a metropolian.
>>20845
Seems like a reasonable dilemma, and I doubt you're unique with it. I guess my issue with it is philosophical, rather than practical — though I don't think it's theoretical, either. That is, what does monarchy/royalty -mean- in 2022? We're living at a time where the West is reckoning with imperialism, colonialism, racism, classism, etc in a deep way. Yet here's this ongoing reminder of it, as head of one of the wealthiest, most powerful and influential countries on earth.

>"(...having a largely ceremonial institution at the heart of things that is set in stone and doesn't change can be comforting tbh)"

I lived in the UK (London) for a little while as a student, and I've known my share of Brits there and here, so this is interesting to me. Because I've had the monarchy/royalty discussion with them, and whether they "like" or respect the Windsors themselves, this is what it always seems to boil down to.
>>20849
>We're living at a time where the West is reckoning with imperialism, colonialism, racism, classism, etc in a deep way. Yet here's this ongoing reminder of it, as head of one of the wealthiest, most powerful and influential countries on earth.
idk, like I said I'm not a royalist but I don't view the institution as fundamentally racist/imperialist/colonialist. it did some bad things in the past but republican countries did too and it's not like we're demanding the abolishment of the american or french presidencies. it all just feels so disproportionate and opportunistic. I want it gone eventually since it's not a meritocratic institution, I agree with the classist accusation, but I think people are stupid for getting so emotional about it like it actually impacts their lives. they're a background detail that gets dragged out to open parliament, give a nice speech at christmas, charm foreign leaders, and ceremonially open new buildings. I support giving official apologies to wronged peoples and returning looted artifacts (actually looted stuff like the elgin marbles and benin bronzes, not every foreign item gained during the period of colonialism like some idiots demand) but I don't view the abolishment of the monarchy as relevant to the fight for antiracism.

Such a short statement yet so much wrong in it. It's actually odd to have someone so ignorant yet still able to write in complete sentences.

The North Country and Western tier of NYS was home to the Mohawks, Oneida, Iroquois, etc. These tribes were some of the most advanced in the Western hemisphere and had a huge impact not just on American history but the world, in terms of creating the first democracies. You should have learned this shit in 7th grade if you grew up in NYS like I did.

I don't know what "mob town" means (or why it would diminish anything), but NYC has been a top-3 cultural, financial, and media capital of the world since before WWII. This was the case even during the bankrupcy crisis in the 70s, when population dipped slightly.

The first subway was built in 1904, at which point NYC was the largest city in the US, twice as large as #2, Chicago and nearly 3x as large as #3, Philadelphia. There were a few farms left inside what was technically city limits, though as a measure of importance and growth that's meaningless.

Anyone who unironically simps for an unelected head of state is the biggest cuck in the world.
They don't represent you, you don't breath the same air as these people.

>But what about school shootings/vietnam/911
Literally irrelevent. Slagging off the monarchy has fuck all to do with americans, I don't even particulary give a shit about the irish/indians/africans.
I hope royalists remember getting roasted by Americans for our farcical state funeral, and shut up next time they bring up the tired "but what about american tourism money" myth that is bandied about everytime somebody suggests we don't spend £200 million on the new royal yacht, while 2.6 million british children currently live in food poverty.
Royalty is embarrassing, and represents the worst part of our culture and traditions.

A lot of that fancy crap people love nowadays are managed by unions. I know cause I worked with a lot of union guys who still do work at those institutions and they have contempt for the state, or the subways, or Midtown. The sentiment is get out of New York State before Hochul or the attorney general starts killing fun just to appease the college professors and hospital directors running the state to the ground.

Man, you lizard-brain Zeldin fans are easy to dupe.

Kisame here. Nobody knows who Zeldin is. We already have Blakeman as the Trump Republican and spent a good time making sure Giliani's inbred son didn't become governor.

A quarter of public money is already spent on welfare, can we not have just one yacht? At least it’s something exciting, and I’m really not that bothered if it costs me the eye watering sum of about £5. I can think of worse things to spend it on.

P.S. Corbyn lost by the way.

Brits are so terrified of Corbyn they'll support a party that will install a PM who wants tax cuts for the rich at the precipice of a global recession

Brits are so terrified of Corbyn they will TANK their economy just to step on the working class

Your only argument is literally, "why can't we buy someone a yacht for no reason".

corbyn hasn't been leader of the labour party since 2020 and liz truss became prime minister in 2022. they are not related events lol. the general public do not support truss's insane economic policy. But if we can blame it on corbyn, maybe that reflects poorly on HIM??? maybe he should've stepped down when it became clear that the country despised him and he was harmful to the labour party's electoral prospects? Even after the disastrous 2019 loss there was uncertainty that he would step down, he's that fucking stubborn.
>>21069
>And look how well it's going.
I don't think anyone could've predicted covid and the russo-ukrainian war when corbyn lost in 2019 (corbyn lost lol), a scandal like partygate was predictable though. I have to say I despise the tories and voted for a labour candidate in the 2019 general election to beat them, but I still hate corbyn because he was politically naiive (just look at his response to russia invading ukraine, or his braindead response labour antisemitism that got him suspended from the party, the man never knows when to shut the fuck up) and was an incompetent manager of his party. I'm looking forward to Starmer's labour winning the 2024 general election, hopefully things can be fixed and Scottish Independence averted (I am Scottish so idgaf about the sewage in your english rivers and beaches, we have our own competent system up here)

>it became clear that the country despised him
YouGov literally supressed a poll that made him look too good, he can't have been that bad.
>his braindead response labour antisemitism that got him suspended from the party
Please actually read the Forde report. Or watch The Labour Files documentary.
>I'm looking forward to Starmer's labour winning the 2024 general election
10 years of tory-lite leadership that does nothing to reverse half the damage done, which will only further discredit the left, which will be followed up with another 10+ years of Tory rule dragging us further into the shit. I suppose it's better than the Truss. But am I daft for wanting more?
Please explain to me, specifically, which Corbyn policies you disagree with. You seem to hate him enough that you unironically think he deserved to lose (and by extension have the Tories win).
>idgaf about the sewage in your english rivers and beaches, we have our own competent system up here
Corbyn wanted to nationalise the english water companies (the same competent system you have up there). I thought he was politically braindead?
>>21024
We haven’t had to worry about that lunatic for three years now. Not since Starmer took the helm, and it’s not like we’ve got to worry about him. That’s not to say he won’t be prime minister in 2024, I’m resigned to the fact that he almost certainly will be at this point, but I’m really not that bothered. It’s not like anything’s going to change.
