Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"these inbred, pedophilic, half alive cretins are your monarchy! They are your betters, bow to them and pay their bills!"

It is absolutely moronic that we haven't dragged every king on earth off his throne, made them private citizens and kicked them off the government payroll

Edit: for anyone downvoting, my comment was light. What I actually believe is that once they are dragged them off the throne, they should be executed and tossed in the river. But I know that's a bit far for 2024

I might have a modest proposal for you.

Better to compost the poor.

The far bigger issue is land owners in general.

Targetting the Royal family and them alone will solve nothing. I'm pretty sure all their land money goes to the state anyway doesn't it?

They're pretty much the American military of landowners, in that they own more land than the next 10+ biggest land owners combined.

And no, I'm pretty sure that the majority of the income from their.. mimes big bosoms vast tracts of land goes to them rather than the country as a whole. They're one of the biggest public funds black holes in the world, just like the aforementioned military.

You could feed, clothe and house every person in the UK for the rest of their lives with just a fraction of the land and riches that the royal leeches are hoarding.

There no point having a conversation if you are going to outright make things up.

[–] GhostFence 1 points 9 months ago

You forgot "God save the King!" at the end of that.

[–] Viking_Hippie 0 points 9 months ago

And what is it you think I'm making up?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

We did that with some of them. But there are also a lot of 'royalists' out there.
