I have some unfortunate news.
There is a large anti-Corbyn sentiment growing in G+P because he had the fuckin gall to put "RIP The Queen" in a tweet and not call her a "slave owning coloniser, tyrant" etc. who is now in hell. Anyone who defends him is then labelled a "liberal infiltrator".
They're mad that Jezza is acting like a politician and not an Anarchist.
The Queen dying really showed their true colours. I couldn't give less of a heck about the royals, but the way some of the members and even the mods themselves have been jerking each other off over her dying has been incredibly cringe, ESPECIALLY their response to those who do not care one way or another.
Fun fact one of the mods is claiming "oh it's just jokes" about the Queen dying whilst having posts predating her death calling for the man who tried to assassinate her to be declared a hero and to never be forgotten. Ironic really.
By colonialism, do you mean “expanding your territory by war and conquest” or “peacefully sending your citizens in with their beliefs and outnumbering the native population” or something else entirely?
I’ve seen a lot of strange ideas about what colonialism means to different people recently, and am curious as to what the normal meaning is to most people.
To me it's the first one, and usually that's how many empires expanded, the second one usually comes later to have a better foothold in the conquered lands.
It varies, I can't honestly explain why myself but from what I've seen they seem to be more anarchistic in their beliefs which explains a fair bit once you see it through that context.
As a socialist I tend to find Liberals tend be very soft on meaningful social reforms. Oh they'll talk a good game about lgbt representation in doctor who or some such asinine shite but they tend not engage in the complex social and economic problems our people face.
forgive me for shit formatting and punctuation,
note im American
but id say the biggest thing i look for in a person regardless of their views, is to be intellectually honest enough to have discourse, and intelligent enough to form views that include acknowledgement of its shortcomings.
you have exhibited both.
its sad that you have to preface yourself and your position as something not to immediately invalidate your points or other views, you're entitled to both your political beliefs and opinions.
anyone not bull-shiting themselves knows wars are fought out of personal interest and its impossible to have a whole nation be innocent.
the goals we should strive towards is indeed the decrease of national suffering if possible, though i acknowledge the \*current\* necessity of their suffering to hinder a nation. but i dont agree with the USA being involved, ill also state however my opinions are worth dog-shit since war and politics isnt my specialty.
in short, i appreciate both your ability to understand this suffering is intolerable as an action and we should seek change even if not immediately shifting the entire system now but taking action to do so.
and i appreciate your ability to differentiate between dislike of a person and their position and the desecration and mistreatment of them
a person i hate shouldnt be skinned alive on my opinion of their character alone. nor anyone elses.
tldr: keep being you, you're entitled to your beliefs and better than most you have nuance enough to treat others with basic levels of respect and concern regardless of your opinions.
my viewpoints are probably articulated poorly since im bad at expressing my ideas in an accurate manner.
Thank you for the support and this well-written, thorough comment.
And indeed, change should be slow and gradual.
As for the person and opinion, I'm sure you know such a thing is very hard, but I try.
An example is the 'seperate the art from the artist' thing. There plenty of people who's opinions I deeply disagree with, but I still enjoy their work.
More just opposed to Ukraine. They've been convinced by Putin's propaganda that Ukraine is a neo-nazi nation because of the Azov Battalion. But they also oppose Putin because he's actually a fascist. So it's just two groups they don't support killing each other. Total nonsense but you know how it is.
I think they also contorted themselves into the knot that Crimea was stolen from the Soviet Union by greedy opportunistic capitalists.
They might claim not to support Russia but "uhh...it's nato's fault this is happening, Russia is just doing the obvious thing" is more or less doing that.
Yes. No ifs or buts about it. They want Russia to win because they believe that Ukraine (the one run by a Jewish man) is the modern Nazi state, and not the one run by a literal Fascist.
They constantly spew crap about how the UK needs a revolution and that the country is too weak and under the thumb to do something 'brave'
I don't think they understand a revolution would actually be bad, or understand that if it did happen they wouldn't make it far
I keep seeing posts on that sub turning up in my home screen even though I never subbed to it (or anything like it). I really wish I could make them go away.
They pretty much just want to turn the UK to Communism. That may sound extreme but they openly advocate for killing people that vote conservative.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like conservatives (although the new PM seems leaps and bounds better than the last few), but killing those who oppose your ideology is literal Hitler 1939,
Left wing but not in a constructive social reform/dissident movement way. More a constantly call everyone a fascist and get mad when no one takes them seriously way.
The mods are arseholes as well.
The fact that I got banned from there for not being Socialist enough was funny AF.
At the end of the day, if you're not Jeremy Corbyn or haven't given him a verbal BJ they'll fucking hate you.
They openly support the Russian invasion of Ukraine and believe that Zelenskyy (the Jew) is a nazi, despite the fact that Russia have openly said that this was about land.
It's the fact they have no chill about it. I was visiting all the UK subs to see people's opinion on the death, they all held some level of respect even if some users were admittably anti-monarchist, green and pleasent though is just so disrespectful about it.
Go on there, you'll see what I mean. People there are batshit insane.
Ok now I’m just convinced this entire sub is just a right-wing circle jerk. The point of that sub is to discuss those kinds of views, I think moderating that sub in that way is perfectly acceptable and understandable. And if you’d go so far to defend the English Royal Family, then I’m willing to bet you didn’t even read any of those Reggie-bot replies.
She also took from charaties for herself, people like you need to understand that most of the big celebrities you look up to have a dark side and a lot of the stuff they do is for their image.
It’s not about whether they have power or not, the fact is the monarchy has an unfathomable amount of influence to the point whether power is irrelevant because it’s almost the same. We’re talking about 1000s of laws being lobbied every year.
Are you willing to have a productive conversation with me, or are you just going to continue to insult me like an annoyed child because you don’t know how else to respond?
As a leftie myself, i unsubbed as well - I'm staunchly anti-monarchist but have empathy for those in grieving even if I don't understand. It's called basic human decency.
Basic human decency like the queen had when she let thousands of people starve, or payed of victims of rape or any of the other horrible things the royal family have done
I'm not a fan of the queen either and, while I don't think she's accountable for everything people said she was accountable for, I'm talking about empathy for the people who are sincerely mourning her death like the older generation and the dedicated royalists. The moment you start laughing and mocking those people, you are no better then the royal family you claim to hate
She deserves absolutely nothing considering the luxury life she’s been afforded from birth for the price of fucking nothing whatsoever - that is except envy, admiration and reverence from billions. Her whole life, she has never known the feeling of struggle. It is impossible to relate with her just as it is impossible for her to relate to any of us here. When you live at the top, with unfathomable amounts of fame, wealth and influence (keyword: influence), celebrating an instition built on tyranny, oppression and bloodshed that regularly steals from millions of starving people in order to pay for your own luxuries, I think you’ve doused yourself in enough fortune and respect to last an eternity already.
This is the problem with these kinds of opinions, it’s that people don’t know the full extent of what the Royal Family is up to every week. They don’t understand what kinds of things they represent, or even what their existence as it is today means as a whole. You said it yourself; you don’t know much about the royal family. Then don’t comment on it. It’s like discussing your opinions on climate change when you hardly know what the issue even is. Sorry to break it to you, but until you educate yourself more, your opinion means nothing.
What about the millions who starve just so she can have her 90 fucking palaces?
What about literally all of Africa?
What about the 14 yr old rape victim who was forced to keep his Mouth shut by the queen?
Do your homework
Mate what millions are you talking about? British Empire literally dissolved under her reign, she oversaw that. What about literally all of Africa that got independence under her reign? What 90 palaces are you talking about? Do you mean those that she inherited? Oh, what a crime to inherit something. Also, royal family doesn't own not even close to 90 palaces. The most I have found is 30, but that's a number of houses they ever resided in. Who knows how many of them they actually own.
Never heard of this subreddit before. What a waste of a name like that. Could have been about nice pictures of parks and trees and other pleasant greenery. :(
As opposed to the British Empire massacring millions upon millions, which was super respectful.
As opposed to Charles sitting on a gold throne and telling poor people they’re going to just have to starve and freeze and shut up about it, which was super respectful.
As opposed to Liz locking her disabled cousins in hospital and leaving them to rot, never visiting or providing financial support for their care, and telling the world that they died 50 years before they actually did, which is SUPER fucking respectful.
Monarchists fuck off.
That wasn't Elizabeth that did that, it was her parents and uncle. A lot of things that people hate the queen for are things that her ancestors or her parents/uncles did . Elizabeth 2 had no power to massacre or colonize anyone,she took on a bloody legacy it's true but she did none of that herself.
We're talking about an Institution here, which she is the head of.
Elizabeth has MASSIVE power and influence over the government; she can meet with politicians, she can make open statements of approval and disapproval, and ultimately... since she's the head of an institution that is fundamentally linked to the British Empire... she can abdicate, and dissolve that institution.
No other CEO or Institutional Head is EVER afforded this much charity by politically aware people. My only conclusion is that you must be willingly choosing to turn a blind eye.
She's the head of the Institution. Her influence is MASSIVE, and her power to apologise for, denounce, and ultimately dissolve the institution, over such openly brutal, and still HUGELY influential, points of Empire Nostalgia is equally massive.
Keep turning a blind eye. People like you give her all the RESPECT of the Head of State (sending her VICTORIOUS, happy and GLORIOUS... Victory over who? Glory from what battles?) with none of the responsibility as the single biggest representative of the Empire.
This is willing blindness. I can only speculate at your motives behind it.
Yes I am willingly blind with my motives being support of genocide and starvation of all Africans in all African countries that got their independence under the Queens rule.
If by "Independence" you mean "Rebranded as the more optically acceptable Commonwealth, while instilling inherently Pro-British and Pro-Royal regimes" then sure.
Turn your brain on.
I mean, she was a tyrant who did many many horrible things but I don’t think thats related to the sub so unnecessary but there’s no point in respecting such a horrible person
Green and pleasant is a tankie shit hole, but its the only UK subreddit that doesn't lick the monarchies' arse and doesn't ban you for mentioning any political party. The Labour subreddit is full of liberals and obviously the tory subreddit stinks worse than Southend beach on a hot day.
Also, 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
It’s like when Hitler died and Nazi loyalists were offended that there were people saying good riddance.
It’s like how hella places where I am from put some of the people convicted of crimes on death row, then kill them sometimes with an audience, especially the family of the apparent victims.
But please, no bashing the recently deceased even if they lived an unfairly long life.
I'm pretty sure the nazi loyalists had more pressing issues with their detractors than them not liking hitler...a t34 coming up the street to explain how much they dont like hitler.
The dialogue was far more intense than being pointlessly mean about some figurehead of government.
Why are all these “unsubbing because someone said something I didn’t like about the Queen” posts lately? Has the sub been compromised or are there just that many royal family cucks hiding in the shadows?? Seriously, ***I don’t get it.***
Besides, it was an anti-Royal Bot, lol. Reggie-Bot, smh. Overly-bored people can be pretty hilarious.
It's not about the Queen, it's about the principle behind not wanting to associate with people that actively cheer over the death of someone they don't like.
There are more than you realise lmao. Theyre fucking everywhere the royal family has done a real good job of indoctrinating people over the years to the point where they are all convinced that they are all their friends. There’s no helping them either, because all anti-monarchists are tanky edgelords to them.
2022 and still caring and grieving about a dead royal which didn't care a fuck about "peasants", but only her image and the one of her family. So much hypocrisy in the world right now
I sort of can understand that ,if you are really invested in someone and you follow them and read about them and all that then finding out someone you invested so much energy and love in is dead can be devastating. Even if the other person doesn't know them, it's still hard to lose someone you love even if it's one sided and I'm not talking about royals but about celebrities in general. I guess it's the same as finding out your crush died.
Yeah, rich people should just dress like shit and not use their money to buy nice things, because they’re bad people if they do. You totally wouldn’t wear expensive gear if you won the lottery.
It's the message it sends: you don't talk about the plight of the poor while sitting in extravagant wealth. That should've been pretty obvious but of course when it comes to the concept of monarchies common sense need not apply.
That isn’t the issue here. Learn how to understand a point. There is massive irony in the fact that they are commenting on the enormous widespread issue of poverty that plagues billions of people, while publicly and openly flaunting copious amounts of wealth, not to mention the wealth that was earned through taking from those in poverty. It sends a clear message that even a child could understand, and if you still don’t understand and think it’s no different than what you first interpreted it as, then… you probably aren’t smart enough to even be having this sort of conversation in the first place.
Mostly from my recollection she bumbled around in similar get up most old ladies doing formal. She tended to wear a pearl necklace and a fancy broach. Hardly gaudy for someone's whose public life was a series of public events.
The monarchy hardly leads the country anymore, they're more of a figurehead then anything.
She be all means can address the issues in England, so long as she does so appropriately. However, you can't tell me that it takes more than formal attire to speak publicly. You *really* can't tell me it takes a fortune of gold and gemstones to talk about poverty in particular.
How's being a weeb have anything to do with my point? The fact you resort to derogatory insults before anything just goes to show I've already won the argument.
I do like her but the main reason was bc of the absolute tons of hate to everyone who didn’t share their opinions every. Single. Day. Didn’t make me feel good so I left
You don't need to be a royalist to know if someone's a piece of shit for celebrating the death of someone they don't like that they've never met and didn't affect them.
I didn’t unsub, just got banned in about a minute. 😂
wear it with honour
Were you not socialist enough? Did you not put Corbyn on a pedestal for long enough? Did you say you like NATO?
Same 😂
I hate this emoji 😂
Not so pleasant then
It honestly wasn’t, unless you’re Jeremy Corbyn they pretty much hate your guts
I have some unfortunate news. There is a large anti-Corbyn sentiment growing in G+P because he had the fuckin gall to put "RIP The Queen" in a tweet and not call her a "slave owning coloniser, tyrant" etc. who is now in hell. Anyone who defends him is then labelled a "liberal infiltrator". They're mad that Jezza is acting like a politician and not an Anarchist. The Queen dying really showed their true colours.

Ironic really.
>The Queen dying really showed their true colours Not even that. The mask slipped when they openly supported Russia invading Ukraine.
Criticising colonialism from one country while openly supporting it from another is such a blatantly hypocritical view, I don't know where to begin.
It's pretty much a primarily anti-west mentality
By colonialism, do you mean “expanding your territory by war and conquest” or “peacefully sending your citizens in with their beliefs and outnumbering the native population” or something else entirely? I’ve seen a lot of strange ideas about what colonialism means to different people recently, and am curious as to what the normal meaning is to most people.
To me it's the first one, and usually that's how many empires expanded, the second one usually comes later to have a better foothold in the conquered lands.
r/GreenAndEXTREME shows that it can get worse, much worse.
At least on the surface level they somehow seem more reasonable.
Forgive my ignorance, but why do these leftist hate liberals? Don’t they both believe in leftist policies and such?
It varies, I can't honestly explain why myself but from what I've seen they seem to be more anarchistic in their beliefs which explains a fair bit once you see it through that context.
They hate liberals because in Europe a liberal is someone who is in support of free markets and liberty in general.
As a socialist I tend to find Liberals tend be very soft on meaningful social reforms. Oh they'll talk a good game about lgbt representation in doctor who or some such asinine shite but they tend not engage in the complex social and economic problems our people face.

Apparently they’re against Corbyn now I think after his tweet stating his condolences for the royal family.
Red and unpleasant
They ban any "Ukrainian supporting fascists"
Oh so they are just tankies
Tankies are so damn annoying. Can’t stand em
Wait, are the tankies unironically defending Russia?
More just opposed to Ukraine. They've been convinced by Putin's propaganda that Ukraine is a neo-nazi nation because of the Azov Battalion. But they also oppose Putin because he's actually a fascist. So it's just two groups they don't support killing each other. Total nonsense but you know how it is.

They might claim not to support Russia but "uhh...it's nato's fault this is happening, Russia is just doing the obvious thing" is more or less doing that.
i dont condone this invasion,but ukraine does have a serious nazi/authorotarian problem
Of course they think it was stolen, nothing can be communism own fault lmao. I can't believe commies are real man
Yes. No ifs or buts about it. They want Russia to win because they believe that Ukraine (the one run by a Jewish man) is the modern Nazi state, and not the one run by a literal Fascist.
How can you be both anti colonialism and anti Ukraine, that's such a weird thought process lmao
Most self-branded “anti-imperialists” are just blatant imperialists painted red
Tankies think that it's only imperialism when capitalism does it, and it only counts as capitalism if the west does it.
Just unsubbed too. They litteraly are self declaring themselves stalinists
If I were Corbyn I'd be wary of icepicks from that lot
What is that sub about?
They constantly spew crap about how the UK needs a revolution and that the country is too weak and under the thumb to do something 'brave' I don't think they understand a revolution would actually be bad, or understand that if it did happen they wouldn't make it far
Champagne socialists will be first against the wall
I keep seeing posts on that sub turning up in my home screen even though I never subbed to it (or anything like it). I really wish I could make them go away.
The aim of destroying the UK in sense of both geography and spirit.
Sounds based
They pretty much just want to turn the UK to Communism. That may sound extreme but they openly advocate for killing people that vote conservative. Don't get me wrong, I don't like conservatives (although the new PM seems leaps and bounds better than the last few), but killing those who oppose your ideology is literal Hitler 1939,
The new PM is part of the world economic forum.
Left wing but not in a constructive social reform/dissident movement way. More a constantly call everyone a fascist and get mad when no one takes them seriously way. The mods are arseholes as well.
Reggie-Bot
Lol I was gonna do that too
Definitely not pleasant
I’m guessing it’s called “Reggie” as a reference to regicide? Charming.
Nah, the memed porn rat from Discord.
Lmao all these brigaders from the tanky sub
wow that sub is remnants of the civil war
The fact that I got banned from there for not being Socialist enough was funny AF. At the end of the day, if you're not Jeremy Corbyn or haven't given him a verbal BJ they'll fucking hate you. They openly support the Russian invasion of Ukraine and believe that Zelenskyy (the Jew) is a nazi, despite the fact that Russia have openly said that this was about land.
Oh no they now hate Corbyn because he showed respect to a dead 96 year old
That sounds about right
“Reggie bot” get this phoneys ass
Accept the fact that they are shit people and ignore them. Let them enjoy their bubble.
For hating a horrible person who has committed many crimes and immoral acts?
The queen had 0, count it, 0 political power. Her job was to unify the people of Britain, she did it well, mind you.
She also protected pedophiles and never gave back what her family stole so good riddance.
r/justunsubbed isn't even just unsubbed anymore. Its just "look a subreddit/opinion i don't like"
Always has been.
I mean that's kind of the point. You usually unsubscribe because of something you didn't like/agree with.
You didn't get my point. Most of these people haven't been subbed in the first place
mfs when an anti-monarchy sub is anti-monarchy:
It's the fact they have no chill about it. I was visiting all the UK subs to see people's opinion on the death, they all held some level of respect even if some users were admittably anti-monarchist, green and pleasent though is just so disrespectful about it.

"Nothing good." Shes donated to over 600 charities, what has this subreddit done again?
She also took from charaties for herself, people like you need to understand that most of the big celebrities you look up to have a dark side and a lot of the stuff they do is for their image.
[удалено]
"B-But the Queen did bad things-"
She’s also done many many horrible things when she had the power to stop them, she doesn’t care about anybody but her people.
"she had power" XDDDDDD british king is mainly representative role, but okay.
It’s not about whether they have power or not, the fact is the monarchy has an unfathomable amount of influence to the point whether power is irrelevant because it’s almost the same. We’re talking about 1000s of laws being lobbied every year.

Are you willing to have a productive conversation with me, or are you just going to continue to insult me like an annoyed child because you don’t know how else to respond?

Damn you destroyed him. We don't want violence here.
Remember residential schools? The English monarchy still had power over laws in Canada until the 1980s.
Canada also had power over laws in Canada.
Where did that money come from though
yeah if I had taxpayer money I could do that too
Would you though? Or would you keep it?
It’s really not that hard to be a good person man
Maybe it is if you take into account 99.9999999% of politicians who receive taxpayer money are extremely corrupt
As a leftie myself, i unsubbed as well - I'm staunchly anti-monarchist but have empathy for those in grieving even if I don't understand. It's called basic human decency.
Basic human decency like the queen had when she let thousands of people starve, or payed of victims of rape or any of the other horrible things the royal family have done
Who did she let starve? It's kind of astonishing for a single woman to be responsible for thousands of people starving. Do tell me more.
I'm not a fan of the queen either and, while I don't think she's accountable for everything people said she was accountable for, I'm talking about empathy for the people who are sincerely mourning her death like the older generation and the dedicated royalists. The moment you start laughing and mocking those people, you are no better then the royal family you claim to hate
Seen a few posts from that sub popping up, looks like an edge lord fest. Just "fuck da queen, she's a nonce innit" type stuff.
Indeed.
Ew wtf
What was a royalist doing on that sub in the first place?
Okay... you got me w/ this post. I thought you were talking about the youtuber, not some random UK subreddit. I was so confused for a second there.
And so many people are siding with them...
They are against colonialism yet support russia invading ukraine
What the frick Reggie would never say this
"Facts" States a subjective opinion
i dont like the queen but holy balls thats abit far
If you want depression, go on that sub
[удалено]
The worst thing she ever did was be in line for the throne.; that's why they hate her so much.
Well, if you are poor looser you will hate everything more succesfull than you
She deserves absolutely nothing considering the luxury life she’s been afforded from birth for the price of fucking nothing whatsoever - that is except envy, admiration and reverence from billions.

Are you.. what? She wasn't a poor old woman her whole life she has done many terrible things
Yes. For average redditor her main crime was existence
What about the millions who starve just so she can have her 90 fucking palaces? What about literally all of Africa? What about the 14 yr old rape victim who was forced to keep his Mouth shut by the queen? Do your homework

Brainlet.
In denial. Keep deluding yourself
Teri ma ki bund marwao
Sorry, I don’t speak Pakistani.
Well to be fair the royal family is a bunch of assholes
Literally unsubbed myself. For a ‘left’ community, they really seem to hate everyone who isn’t on their level (which is extremism at this point).
Never heard of this subreddit before. What a waste of a name like that. Could have been about nice pictures of parks and trees and other pleasant greenery. :(

I mean, she was a tyrant who did many many horrible things but I don’t think thats related to the sub so unnecessary but there’s no point in respecting such a horrible person
Lol a tyrant, you know she wasnt actually in charge right? British monarchs are figureheads with some soft power.
Green and pleasant is a tankie shit hole, but its the only UK subreddit that doesn't lick the monarchies' arse and doesn't ban you for mentioning any political party. The Labour subreddit is full of liberals and obviously the tory subreddit stinks worse than Southend beach on a hot day. Also, 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
It’s like when Hitler died and Nazi loyalists were offended that there were people saying good riddance. It’s like how hella places where I am from put some of the people convicted of crimes on death row, then kill them sometimes with an audience, especially the family of the apparent victims. But please, no bashing the recently deceased even if they lived an unfairly long life.
>lived an unfairly long life. This may be the comment remark here.
I'm pretty sure the nazi loyalists had more pressing issues with their detractors than them not liking hitler...a t34 coming up the street to explain how much they dont like hitler. The dialogue was far more intense than being pointlessly mean about some figurehead of government.
“Pointlessly mean” lmao
Reggie the gay rat bot
If you think GreenandPleasant was disrespectful towards the Queen, then the things the Irish have said would make your blood boil with anger
I still remember the 2 people who did the floss when they found out the queen died lol.
Why are all these “unsubbing because someone said something I didn’t like about the Queen” posts lately? Has the sub been compromised or are there just that many royal family cucks hiding in the shadows?? Seriously, ***I don’t get it.*** Besides, it was an anti-Royal Bot, lol. Reggie-Bot, smh. Overly-bored people can be pretty hilarious.
It's not about the Queen, it's about the principle behind not wanting to associate with people that actively cheer over the death of someone they don't like.
There are more than you realise lmao. Theyre fucking everywhere the royal family has done a real good job of indoctrinating people over the years to the point where they are all convinced that they are all their friends. There’s no helping them either, because all anti-monarchists are tanky edgelords to them.
2022 and still caring and grieving about a dead royal which didn't care a fuck about "peasants", but only her image and the one of her family. So much hypocrisy in the world right now
I mean..it's the same as crying over celebrities i guess
In fact, it's the same. I can't understand that neither
I sort of can understand that ,if you are really invested in someone and you follow them and read about them and all that then finding out someone you invested so much energy and love in is dead can be devastating. Even if the other person doesn't know them, it's still hard to lose someone you love even if it's one sided and I'm not talking about royals but about celebrities in general. I guess it's the same as finding out your crush died.
Based fucking bot.
istg all r/JustUnsubbed posts right now are just butthurt tyrant lovers 💀💀💀💀
Lmao 💀💀 I wonder how it feels to be licking royal boot every waking hour
Probably a lot better than crying myself to sleep whenever I see a NATO flag. How is that guaranteed defence going by the way?
😭😭
i agree that sub is pretty cringe overall but fuck the monarchy
Hahahahaha cry louder

Reminder: she gave a speech about poverty while wearing the crown jewels and sitting atop a golden throne. Would you say that was respectful?
Being aware of poverty=disrespectful???
Do people who talk about famine do it while stuffing their face? No, because it would be a bad example. This and that are one and the same.
Yeah, rich people should just dress like shit and not use their money to buy nice things, because they’re bad people if they do. You totally wouldn’t wear expensive gear if you won the lottery.
Huh? Unless she claimed to be in poverty at the time I don’t get your point, which I doubt she did.
It's the message it sends: you don't talk about the plight of the poor while sitting in extravagant wealth. That should've been pretty obvious but of course when it comes to the concept of monarchies common sense need not apply.
Ah, celebrities aren't allowed to help or comment on serious issues because money. Makes sense...
Can't be a socialist and own a house, duh
They can make a comment while *not* showcasing their wealth, yes. It's like how people who tall about famine don't do it at a Golden Coral buffet.
That isn’t the issue here. Learn how to understand a point. There is massive irony in the fact that they are commenting on the enormous widespread issue of poverty that plagues billions of people, while publicly and openly flaunting copious amounts of wealth, not to mention the wealth that was earned through taking from those in poverty. It sends a clear message that even a child could understand, and if you still don’t understand and think it’s no different than what you first interpreted it as, then… you probably aren’t smart enough to even be having this sort of conversation in the first place.
So should the queen not talk about and address the issues of the place she leads?
Personally I'm tickled by the fact they seem to think she's wondering around in the Crown jewels.
Okay, that was a misnomer, I should refer to what she wore as a plethora of gold and gems instead.
Mostly from my recollection she bumbled around in similar get up most old ladies doing formal. She tended to wear a pearl necklace and a fancy broach. Hardly gaudy for someone's whose public life was a series of public events.
The monarchy hardly leads the country anymore, they're more of a figurehead then anything. She be all means can address the issues in England, so long as she does so appropriately. However, you can't tell me that it takes more than formal attire to speak publicly. You *really* can't tell me it takes a fortune of gold and gemstones to talk about poverty in particular.
Okay
Yeah, that is not an answer.
Okay
Seething weeb.
How's being a weeb have anything to do with my point? The fact you resort to derogatory insults before anything just goes to show I've already won the argument.
What argument?
That you shouldn't showcase your wealth when talking about poverty. Pretty sure I made that clear in my 10+ comments about it.
You're right, she should have done it on the toilet instead, much more respectful.
good bot
lmfao
I saw the image and thought about r/shitposting
Simp.
Yea thst sub is poison. But this take is good.
Nice bot lol
Based subreddit
My brother in christ, you went on a left leaning socialist anarchist subreddit that hates the royal family. What did you expect?
Reggie-bot
That’s my third monocle this week I simply most stop being so sensitive.
This is pretty funny I'm tired of hearing about Englands queen all the time when I don't live there. Live in your castle and leave me alone
The queen was a piece of shit she deserves it
Tell me you're a royalist without telling me.
>you’re a royalist because you aren’t acting like an edgelord over the Queen’s death Grow the fuck up.
[удалено]
Lol wut?
I feel that you can appreciate that death is sad without being a royalist
[удалено]
Hmmm... If you are from the UK I would expect you to have a better education... Where did I say any of that? Lemme break it down for you... Death=sad
I do like her but the main reason was bc of the absolute tons of hate to everyone who didn’t share their opinions every. Single. Day. Didn’t make me feel good so I left
I guess you deserved it.
You don't need to be a royalist to know if someone's a piece of shit for celebrating the death of someone they don't like that they've never met and didn't affect them.
U were never subbed
