  • For context I’m a Brit.

    I would support a king, if I had a good one. I would hold a man not as equal but as above me, and have him experience and control the country. I would fight and die for that person.

    But only if I got something back as an equal. My King should work tirelessly to improve the lives of their subjects.

    Their majesty should humble capitalists and oppressors and keep them in check.

    King Charles does cut some tape, do some humanitarian PR but frankly it’s clear that people like Bezos run rough shot over him and that’s essentially why I lose my respect.




  • I definitely think it’s harmful. I definitely think force and physical harm, and likely some murders would be required to actually remove them. What is being proposed is awful there’s no doubt about that.

    But I cannot equate “mental harm” with “genocide”. You’re redefining an incredibly triggering word just so you can use it to attack an enemy. However redefining it is dangerous because it minimises the words true impact. You’re now, in effect, saying that Hitler “upset a few Jews” rather than he committed mass murder. You’re applying genocide to a bunch of places where it only really serves to make the word redundant.
