Been 3 years and I still think about this from time to time. Sooooo many boohoos over a monarchist 🙄
There’s a fun short video of the BBC’s coverage of the royal funeral that someone dubbed over with the audio of the BBC’s coverage of the Kim funeral.
Meanwhile in America: Oh hey, a former president died. Anyway, time to get to work.
The president is more equivalent to the prime minister than the queen. I think the American equivalent of the queen dying would be more like if a significant portion of the ruling class died… So like if: Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet etc. all died at the same time…
That’s the dream baby.

Watched this film today, it’s pretty good.
Idgaf about the queen in particular. But, I dont get the countries marking her death as a holiday. She was the face of the UK, sure. Her entire queenhood was symbolic, though. She didn’t set any international policy or have any real role in their governments. I get annoyance, disdain, even indirect anger at the monarchy for being the symbol of the UK government. But this feels more hateful and targetted. It’s fine if that’s how they feel. I just don’t understand why.
when did monarchys become a liberal thing? And why are the Kims not also monarchy? They dont pass that shit in the family?
They got co-opted by capitalists and neutered. So all the “good and nice” euro countries got to keep them (UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Belgium, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, Spain, Norway and Denmark).
Kim’s arent a monarchy, they arent the true “leaders” of NK -the Premier is - at worst its just rampant nepotism.
Both are definitely bad.
Eternal glory to the DPRK and the Juche party in its struggle against western imperialism
Nah the british monarchy is definitely worse.
don’t think the post is arguing otherwise
