The summary of some texts between me and a family member

"OMG Are you watching the Platinum Jubilee it had Paddington Bear!!!11!! :so-true: "

“Nah, not a fan of Royalty”

“OMG WHY DO YOU HATE FUN SO MUCH?! IT’S A NICE CELEBRATION!”

Am I being the dick here for finding the whole Jubilee thing kind of gross to celebrate an empire built on slavery and conquest?

Literally none of the teachers in my school are pro jubilee, except the management. We’re all being roped into shit, and just doing the bare minimum. The kids 100% couldn’t give a fuck. From where I’m standing, you seem like the norm, not the exception.

Just making sure, you live somewhere under the crown, right? Cause it’s weird enough either way but if you lived in the states that would drive me insane.

if I lived in America and was being forced to celebrate the queen I’d kick up a big stink about George Washington
