That's one where you don't even have to reveal your power level to object. I just say that we. fought. a. war. (pressing down on the table) and WE WON. Giving a shit about those fucks flies in the face of even the whitewashed history they taught us in elementary school.

I think I know a few well-born tories that might watch it. Maybe.

Absolutely fucked. That is like the one good thing that came out of American Independence is we accepted as a nation that having Kings is cringe.

Funny that the US president quickly ended up with more power and less accountability than the British Monarchs.

Have you spoken to USians? They love the Bri*ish monarchy.

I know they exist but fortunately I don't know any Royal Watchers. As good Americans we should watch the Kardashians because the meritocratic force of the market chose them, not some silly divine right!

That's what I told them and then my dad got grumpy

The only speech he should be giving is the the sound of his head hitting the guillotine basket. gui

Elvis gave a Christmas speech?

The King gave an address to hundreds of people assembled in freeside and heard by radio across the Mojave.

Nono it's a movie with that guy who played mister darcy

Not even real liberals at that point. Trump is more liberal than them.

A lot of chuds for some reason love the royals because they hate Megan Markle for some reason??? I think the chud media spehre made it a culture war issue or something. Royal bullshit drama makes no sense and they get mad at me for suggesting we should execute the royal family.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

white supremacy. hate for Markle is a way to express otherwise socially unacceptable anger about the racial purity of the figureheads

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

They hate her because she's American and the British ruling class can't stand it. They managed to get the last royal to marry an American to abdicate, and they're bitter that they couldn't bully Harry out of it.

Ah, that sounds rough. They probably don't think about why the monarchy is a pos and it might ruin the day if you make a big deal about it.

Fuck, Xmas is hard sometimes.

My parents are the mythical liberals who like Biden, Harris, Bush, and Obama. They are the mythical base that the Democrats love to pander to. My dad said that "Brian Thompson had a family" and he also read Liz Cheney's book. I love my parents very dearly but respectfully they are the upper middle class liberals who like the cops but also Black Lives Matter. People who read anti-racism books but have never been at a protest in their life.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

I'm sorry both of your parents are Nancy Pelosi.

"Brian Thompson had a family"

who gives a shit? so did Dennis Rader

This reminds me that his daughter replied to a tweet asking for three words she'd tell her younger self with "dad is btk"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

My mom is in this post and I don't like it.

I really, really, really haaaaaate, hate, hateeeeeeee the white side of my family. I'm mixed Filipino-American, so the other half of my family knows how fucking awful colonialism is and why we should despise European monarchy. But then I have these cracker fucking libs on the other side who swoon over the British royal family. Or who constantly go to bat for white supremacy as long as it's the polite kind.

I feel your pain man, I'm in a similar situation haha. Shit sucks yea
