That bitch is powerful as fuck all. She is embedded deep in the global financial industry, among other endeavors. Britain itself is now a worthless dumpster fire of Muslim rape gangs, Cathy Newmans, and fascist government. The Brirish royal family has not lost much power globally. They are an economic power. They have been since they usurped the throne and started converting the empire into a business.
And as far as power to fuck with you personally.. You have better life expectancy by crossing the Clinton's than those German bankster monarchs that usurped the English throne.

Re: Royal Wedding
I guess I’m saying that you can call her whatever you want, but it’s a ceremonial role. It serves no function, other than to placate the masses, and give the appearance of legitimacy.BjornP wrote: Sun May 20, 2018 10:28 amAnd the only way a monarch can be a valid head of state, is if that head of state has "some modicum of power"? Why assume that? Denmark's monarchy has even less political power than Britain's and it has a 76,6% approval rating as an institution in the latest poll.GrumpyCatFace wrote: Sun May 20, 2018 8:05 am
...no.
My point is that she doesn’t actually have even that modicum of power.
If she ended the Parliament tomorrow, they’d probably just ignore it, or call her senile. There is no such power, in reality.
If you want to call it a ‘monarch’, or ‘head of state’, or ‘Grand Poobah’ makes no difference.

Re: Royal Wedding
If it "made no difference", it would not exist. How can it "placate the masses" if it has no power..?GrumpyCatFace wrote: Sun May 20, 2018 11:08 amI guess I’m saying that you can call her whatever you want, but it’s a ceremonial role.

Really. Just stop talking out of your ass, GCF. Only one people on this planet decide the legitimacy of the British monarchy. If they decide it's legitimate, it's legitimate.

Textbook appeal to tradition. Or a bandwagon fallacy. Dealers choice.
Far be it from me to dispel the illusion, then. God save the Poobah!

Re: Royal Wedding
Cute. You can list logical fallacies that no one has voiced. I don't expect you to have the intellectual capacity to understand cultures different from your own, GCF. You have no traditions, no culture of your own, so therefore you think culture and traditions cannot hold any real "value".GrumpyCatFace wrote: Sun May 20, 2018 1:49 pm Textbook appeal to tradition.

Re: Royal Wedding
You don't need to like our monarchy, that's why it's ours.. The only thing that hits me hard, GCF, is how immensely, awesomely, stupidly, ignorant you are and keep being about the world around you. You are "unknown unknowns" made flesh.GrumpyCatFace wrote: Sun May 20, 2018 2:23 pmI seem to have hit a nerve. Many apologies for your feelz.

The alternative is some sort of elected position and then we have a scumbag politician as head of state.
Long live tradition and God save the Queen (even if only one of them actually exists).
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

You already have a scumbag politician in control of your military, police, and nukes.
