AlimOzturk Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Never understood why the Monarchy, unlike other monarchy’s, have survived the horrors that their family history and wealth was built apon. They literally built their dynasty on the back of poor peoples Labour, Scandel, Murder, rape and often slavery. Yet they still live in palaces and sit on golden thrones preaching and about fairness and equality. Yes I know this current lot of royal didn’t but the values and traditions are often passed down hence you see Prince Harry giving it the Nazi salutes and dressing as Nazi and Meghan mirkle being subjected to horrific Racism.

Off the top of my head I'm thinking of a little known place called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As for brainwashing, the Royals and their supporters are pretty good at that themselves. We've had a fantastic reminder of it since Friday anyway. Maybe the Queen in her role as Head of the Church of England could do her bit and help us get rid of monarchy and religion.
