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?

Best (potentially only good?) part of American enculturation is the instilled frothing hatred of monarchy. She’s a racist money-hoarding useless fuck who protects her pedo son and represents centuries of oppression and enslavement and destruction. Can’t wither away fast enough, hope the whole institution is buried with her, “Platinum Jubilee” refers to the big shiny keyring the state is jingling.

I know Americans who are obsessed with the Elizabeth II, some my family too, like with you. One family member is somehow loves the queen but also wants irish independence. She’s told me the UK votes on retaining the monarchy every year, which isn’t true. She’s also told me the royal family is the most generous institution on earth, the queen herself shelters homeless people in the palace.

she always seems shocked that I’d want to strip the monarchs of their money and redistribute their land. “But they work so hard!” no they don’t, that’s the point of being royalty

Lol the lady can’t even handle garlic, she’d be appalled to be like within a mile of actual poverty

There are homeless people in tents and boxes like right down the street from Buckingham Palace. I’ve met and hung out with them. London’s full of poverty all around its goofy monuments to its former imperial glory.

I guess that’s why they moved her way out to the countryside recently
