This video alway makes me smile, as a crappy guitar player myself I aspire to be this guy. Just some dude playing covers in a bar who absolutely kills it, he was a total rockstar for a couple of minutes, what a legend.

its how the US annexed hawaii (by getting rid of the monarchy)

Royalty seems like such an anachronism in today’s world.

Yeah, nah we're alright thanks mate.

Does the Royal family remain a consensus choice for British citizenry? We here in the States are used to our republic and probably the vast majority of us in the colonies are still sore at George III for that tea tax. The nerve of him, I want my Earl Gray without a surcharge!!!

 

[Darkauron]

Not to mention being shitty to their own royal family, being racist, paying off family sex scandals, and profiteering off its own citizens and the rest of the world. Monarchies of any kind have no place in this world, and should not. Especially one that was at the head of so much suffering and wrong doing.

To be fair, you can find plenty of awful racism and terrible skeletons in the closet for just about any government it seems, whether you examine things like the Tuskegee experiments or years of Jim Crow in the US South or the recent scandal in Canada where they are finding wholesale slaughter of native American children in schools. Of course, you have a long history of various forms of repression and oppression all the way up to actual genocide in many mainland European countries and various repressive measures in Warsaw Pact nations during the Cold War. No government is above criticism in that regard. I'm not excusing any of it, but I think it is for Britain to decide if the monarch remains right for them even if it seems outdated to us in the US. None of which is to diminish your opinion which is probably a plurality position in today's world.

It is britains right to continue to have a monarch if they so choose.

And mine to tell ‘em it’s 2022, death to all hereditary aristocracy and especially monarchs.

I think you'll see an uptick in support for abolition.

Right now the country is mourning the loss of a 96 year old monarch, who on the whole seemed to do more good than bad. She's been an ever presence in the lives of 95% of Britons living today.

It all feels very weird. I have absolutely no love or respect for the King. I do think he plans to considerably downsize the family and will likely oversee a period of huge cultural change in the UK.

I'm fine with them for now, but like most I have an indifference to the monarchy. Ask me again in a month. Especially if I'm struggling to pay my utilities in what's going to be a very hard winter. I might just find myself on the abolition train.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Yeah regardless of where you stand, it's objectively a huge deal, and not just for the UK.

Lot of the non-anglo commonwealth is going to drop Charles shortly, theyve been gearing up for it for a while.

I will say that I think the exile of Harry and Meghan Markle has ruffled some feathers in the US. I don’t follow the royal stuff but my wife likes the show The Crown and has some idea of what happens. I hope that the people of Britain figure out what makes the most sense for them. I’m not sure what that is but I’m skeptical Charles is a popular figure.

 

[OmNomNom]

doesn't the monarchy have 0 real world affect, other than being figureheads/celebrities for the country @britdevil (for the most part)?

I'm in some small town in Kansas in a small casino. I ordered a Manhattan up...and I shit you not the dude served me a double of Bulluet bourbon neat.

I said that's not a Manhattan. He said that's the best I can do.

I don't think we are in New Jersey anymore toto.

I went to a work Christmas party at a bar once and Bulleit was the best bourbon they had at the open bar so I just had 8 of them on the rocks and then got lost on the three block walk back to the subway.

i would've drank those 8 and then take the rest of the bottle home.

Yeah? Well I would have drank those 8 and then thrown up all over myself and insulted everyone at the party before curling up in the corner and crying like a baby.
