Daydream Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 It seems like the reason they’re scrambling for a funeral date is because they want it to be on Monday 19th but there’s a United Nations meeting in New York happening at that time, which lots of heads of states are due to attend. They somehow need to get all those heads of states in New York and London at the same time.

fountain Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Apparently a lot of people need to hear that being sad about the queen (of a country most of you are not from) dying is not a personality trait. Neither is bootlicking her remaining family who have achieved nothing outside of being born into privilege (and being racist/pedophile/rapists I guess). I suppose people would rather mope over somebody who they’ve never met that doesn’t care about them (not that she can now anyway because she’s dead) than have concern over real issues like economies collapsing, the energy crisis, and that little war that was moved on from very quickly. Can only hope that the same occurs here.

Because Indians and black people were slaughtered, enslaved, hung on trees, raped, refused any rights, their legacy destroyed but somehow people who did those things are never held as responsible and are never as despised as Hitler. Nothing related to this in particular. -------- Anyway I was just thinking that it's weird she lived so long and just died so shortly after her husband. Maybe she just gave up. Most people don’t even know that decolonization was not a peaceful transition of power. They don’t know that the British government slaughtered guerrilla fighters revolting imperial rule and imposed wartime campaigns like famine and internment to weaken resistance in Kenya and Nigeria and Ghana and Yemen… all at HER behest. She was at the *very least* complicit in the destabilizing of lives under her rule. Edited September 9, 2022 by DAP

Meghan removed herself from the Royal Family. And being with the Queen in her death is something that only those in the Royal Family get to do. Harry was still invited because he's actual blood family. But Meghan would have had no reason to be there. Could they have invited her just to be nice? Yes. But they were just being 'proper' about it. I'm sure Meghan and Harry always understood this would be the case.

So what exactly is your argument here?

This is the woman y'all are mourning.... This was the British government, the queen remained apolitical her entire life and if she got involved, she would be accused of misusing her position and being undemocratic. She was a figurehead for a horrible institution but her role was pretty much just cutting ribbons, smiling and waving at people. Politically, she had no real power.

I personally don't know what things she's done but I do know any monarchy is corrupt and filled with skeletons.

The fact she died peacefully is what bothers the most. She deserved way WAY worse. Is she really that awful? People comparing her to Hitler in here? I mean its a bit much People celebrating death are no better than those who commit murder. Who does that? Edit: ok that was a little extra. Edited September 9, 2022 by Insanity

She was an active participant and beneficiary from her empire’s bloodthirsty colonialism. Her kingdom destroyed my homelands forever. Extraordinary my ass. My country was also an colonialist, do you think i agree with all they did? No. I think she a participant on changing that. But you have the liberty to think like that or to dislike her. Still she is extraordinary.
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted September 9, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted September 9, 2022 You can dislike her for all the awful things she did throughout her years and you can like her for being a figurehead for a nation and a commonwealth for our entire lifetime. Both sides have points, no side should be shaming the other side for how they feel.
