Unpopular opinion, in the U.K. at least:

When the American Revolution was won, it should have spread back to the U.K., and we should have dragged royalty and aristocracy out of their palaces into the streets and hung them from the nearest tree for mass corruption at the detriment of the country.

Only 3% benefited from empire. The rest of us mined their coal, farmed their food, worked from childhood to early graves in their factories or died of diseases garrisoning their possessions abroad.

Look at me writing a political post. Never thought I’d see the day.

Just because most of us live under various forms of government; that doesn’t mean they were or are necessarily beneficial for and to their citizens. It’s all about power and control.
No different here in the U.S.
The Windsors
The Rockerfellers
The Rothschilds
The above were/are wealthy and wield and IMO have had and to this day still have those in governments globally doing their bidding.
Just my opinion.

I saw the Edinburgh Military Tattoo once. Magnificent and thrilling.

And the military museum in the Castle, with the battle flags and other memorabilia of famous regiments like the Black Watch and the Royal Scots Fusiliers.

@smiler2012 god I hope not the French revolution created an Empire

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

No, that's too kind to them- why don't we just do what they did to em during the French Revolution 🙄

If it's of any consolation, the US ignored the early lessons and the constitution, allowing that same corruption to consume Washington DC and spread throughout the country.

@SatyrService Sadly we didn’t. Even the parliamentarians were aristocrats who enriched themselves on what they took from the royalists.

@WintaTheAngle I’ve been listening to a multipart podcast, about the English Civil War. Like most of my country men here in the US I had no idea the depth and impact of those events. Many of the people who fled to the colonies, were themselves on the losing side of the Civil War. And like you say they’re all bunch of Aristo’s anyway. It’s no wonder when it was over they put A crown head pack in charge. It was a travesty. Many of America’s so-called founding fathers, we’re better educated than we are now. They understood the perils of royalty and put a stop to every attempt to create one here

Personally, I think anyone called prince princess king or queen should be shot dead and fed to the ducks

Rare but perfectly valid post. Yet there will be people who rattle off a list of excuses as to why royalty should be venerated.
