Royal Wedding

[Speaker to Animals]

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.

...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.

And 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.

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.

If you want to call it a ‘monarch’, or ‘head of state’, or ‘Grand Poobah’ makes no difference.

If it "made no difference", it would not exist. How can it "placate the masses" if it has no power..? And the legitimacy is obviously real, again... otherwise it would not exist:

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!

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".

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.

She serves the function of head of state.
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).

You already have a scumbag politician in control of your military, police, and nukes. Same as us, my friend.

Well, you showed me. Good points.
