    At 74, I am among the apparently few of my age range that does not support the monarchy. No matter; we'll all be dead soon. My age range were supporters of the monarchy when we were in the 18-24 age range so it's not a matter of 'becoming more royalist as you get older'. I didn't support the monarchy then and I don't now. But, when I was young, I risked getting thumped for expressing that view.
    The monarchy's days are numbered

      When I was younger I was ambivalent to the idea of a monarchy. They didn't seem to do too much harm, and the media were adept at keeping the grossest misdemeanors from the hoi-polloi. I was in India when Lady Di died, and the mock grief shown was nauseating, considering the previous bile heaped on her by those same 'journalists' during the divorce from Charlie.
      Since learning more about Randy Andy's frolics with Epstein, Meghan Markle's treatment from such prestigious rags as the Daily Mail, and Prince Philips bigotry, my indifference has changed to bafflement as to why the British public still tolerates the aristocratic elite at all. Seemingly unaccountable, and untaxed, drains on the public purse are an unacceptable anachronism at a time of austerity, food banks, zero-hours contracts, slashing of social programmes and vast accumulation of wealth by a few, who have their fortunes by accidents of birth...and very little actual merit.

      I am 74 and the monarchy holds no illusions or value to me. I also know plenty that are, apparently, filled with wonder and enthusiasm for this strangely odd family.
      It does also seem that many of the supplicants are comparatively well heeled and I suppose that that helps.
      If you are worried about money and your ability to keep warm and healthy is a concern then it seems more unlikely that you feel that monarchy is anything other than another form of subjugation abused by power to hold the poor in their place. For “King and country” has been the rallying call that has sacrificed the youth of the nation on battlefields throughout both world and centuries

  • @danikahholdman2609
    @danikahholdman2609 ปีที่แล้ว +135

    The thing is 10 years ago the younger royals (especially Harry and William) were coming into their own. They made the monarchy seem exciting and relevant to younger people. From there we got the fairytale weddings of first William finding his bride and then Harry. I think the peak of this was seeing both princes happy and the rise of the ‘fab four’. It had so much promise and then the fairytale was shattered when ‘old royal ways’ started to rear its ugly head in both the scandals, briefings against and press treatment of Meghan Markle. The nail in the coffin for the younger generation (although it didn’t seem to affect the views much of the older generations) was Prince Andrew. Not only what he was alleged to have done but the treatment and lack of scrutiny compared to the bile they throw at Meghan. Say what you want about the younger generation but they are less forgiving. Especially if you don’t seem to deserve it.

    • @Eurobrasil550
      @Eurobrasil550 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      You're right about the older generation (which includes me)
      Many simply ignore and block from their heads any negative royal facts.
      I have asked 3 in the last week why the former queen had herself any any heirs excepted from 160+ laws that they found inconvienent, being effectively above the law, and how is that an example of 'leading by example'?
      No replies at all.

      This general logic is why I'd like to see that graph of royal approval broken down into more useful age groups, the 25-49 one in particular seems like it probably gives a poor representation of the views at either end of that 25 year span.

      I’m on the left, but I have a very different opinion on Harry and Meghan.
      I find that Meghan is someone who wanted to reap the benefits of a white supremacist institution because she thought that she would be treated like a white woman despite her mixed race skin, but then left after she found that white supremacy wouldn’t play ball.
      Harry and Meghan’s objection to the Royal Family is not based on anti-imperialist principles, but rather based on the fact they weren’t able to participate in a colonialist institution in the manner they would like.
      Unlike what the pig-headed wankstains at the gammon press will tell you, those two don’t actually want to abolish the monarchy, they just want to reform it in a way that suits them.
      Remember Lady Susan Hussey?The woman who badgered the black British woman Ngozi Fulani with questions of “where are you from?”, implying that she wasn’t British because she was black?
      Harry claimed that both him and Meghan “love Lady Susan Hussey” and “think she’s great!” and thought the reaction from the British press to her comments was “horrendous.” That should tell you everything you need to know about them 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I really think the treatment of Harry and Meghan was the nail in the coffin for a lot of people. A lot of my friends are in mixed race relationships or of mixed heritage themselves. I noticed a lot of diversity in the coronation ceremony, and references to the commonwealth, but it feels like it’s intended to be inclusive, while reminding us that he is our benevolent overlord, but an overlord all the same.
    Like when they passed him the sword and spoke of being “just and merciful” - it’s a parody. It’s totally farcical!

By the time I was 30, I had read Orwell, Russell, Shelley, Paine, Voltaire, Asimov, Sagan, Darwin, Dawkins, Hawking, Leakey and the woefully little-read Robert Tressell. As I got older I didn't mellow, I became more radical in my search for that which can be demonstrated ie the truth. The truth is, if we want a fairer world we should ditch Monarchy.

    Anyone notice that YouGov data is strange? Just think… Rather than having 4 age groups of 18-24, 25-49, 50-64, 65+, the chart would look quite different if the age groups were formed differently: 18-24, 25-31, 31-37, 38-50, 50+. Then the data would show that majority have declined - except for only one group as an outlier.

      It certainly is grotesque, but at the end of the day Meghan Markle is essentially someone who wanted to benefit from a white supremacist institution because she thought that she would be treated as a white woman despite her mixed race skin, and only left after she found that white supremacy didn’t want to play ball with her 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Allegedly the oath of fealty for us plebs didn't come from Charles but from the Archbishop of Canterbury; his mate Jonathan Dimbleby chipped in to say Charles would find the concept "abhorrent" and suggested it came from the Archbishop, who when asked, declined (in his words) "to take credit" for the idea.
    It was notable that this attempt to throw the Archbishop under the bus by proxy only occurred after the idea had been widely derided, however.
    Not a good look.

I’ve heard it said that C3 should be ‘given a chance.’ At what, precisely? I’ve also heard that the coronation marks the beginning of a new era. Recalling my studies for my History Masters, I’m pretty sure we’ve already done the 14th. Century.

    The big problem with loving the royals is the Same critique you can pull at loving celebrities. Except, celebs actually do earn the public’s hearts to some extent by acting, and being in our favourite media content. The royals don’t even do that. And even then, our obsession with celebs is still sort of thought of as a bit problematic.

    • @NH_HN

He argued that slavery was a crucial component of the early capitalist economy and that it helped to create the conditions for the emergence of modern racism and the exploitation of non-white populations.
