Queen Elizabeth II died yesterday. Sorry but I don't really care.
I hear and read all this sorrow being expressed over her death. What a great person she was. How she was the People's Queen. She was such a great leader.
Blah blah blah blah blah
Barbara had a fascination for this family. I never understood it. They are more of a soap opera than the Kardashians.
When I see the British Monarchy, I see a system that mercilessly oppressed people under their rule around the globe and still do to this day. What was the great Ghandi fighting with his peaceful protest and hunger strikes throughout his life? The British Monarchy. What is the turmoil in Ireland based on? The British Monarchy. What did the colonies in the new world fight for independence from? The British Monarchy.
This Queen was born into her position. She did nothing else but be born. The Royal family thrives off the backs of the over taxed working people. Her whole life has been supported solely by those people who really do work for a living. Members of the Royal family are not elected, do not work their way up a social ladder. The queen occupied basically a ceremonial position in Britain. They have no real power.
They are simply born into a particular family and the Kingdom is laid at their feet.
To me, there is no greatness involved here. It is simply a birthright.
I see them as almost being worshiped by the people of the world. Dangerously close to being false idols to many people.
Have we not heard the stories of how she treated the People's Princess Diana. Even Diana got to her position only by marrying into that family of leeches.
No, they are not special. They are not leaders. They happen to born at the right time in the right family.
Move along, nothing to see here.
