She's just going home... 🕊

"We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love and then we return home."

[alltheroyalthings]

Oh my God.

[alltheroyalthings]

youre anti gov but not anti monarchy?

I’m anti-imperialist but this doesn’t stop me from finding interesting people like Churchill or George V.

[alltheroyalthings]

So if you dont support imperialism how can you support and glorify a family that has done that continually and has made its enourmous fortune by doing exactly that?

Imperialism nowadays is not due to any royal family. So my issue as a person of the 21st century is with the US governments for example (any government). 

Also I’m not glorifying anyone.

[alltheroyalthings]

you support imperialism?

No.

[alltheroyalthings]

what about the occupation of india for all those years? you dont think thats racist?

No. That’s imperialism. They wanted the sources India had. Ideally they would want the sources from all around the world. They had Cyprus for examples. They are whites. Malta as well, etc. This is imperialism. It’s just that there are other reason for them to have India rather than Russia instead for example.

[alltheroyalthings]

I'm really sorry for the influx of negative messages you are getting. I understand that some people love the royals, some people hate them, some people are indifferent, etc. But that doesn't give them the right to send anonymous hate to you.

Just because you do not like something, doesn't mean everyone else should dislike it too. Wish people knew that!

I really love your content and hearing your thoughts and opinions on everything! Have a great day!!

Thank you for your message! There’s hate everywhere in the world right now. People seem to love to hate. They believe their opinion is the absolute truth and they don’t understand that this may be not right. I don’t say that someone has to love BRF. I find them interesting and there are members I like and members I don’t.

But nowadays you can say anything and get hate from “I am a Christian/Muslim/atheist” to “I like Britney Spears.” :P.

[alltheroyalthings]

why are you asking for more of an explanation, theres posts on your page that explain why she's racist.

No they don’t. They link the Queen, a child at the moment, to Nazi Germany due to salute that her uncle and mother made her do but I cannot see other proofs that the Queen is racist.

[alltheroyalthings]

the queen is racist

Because?

[alltheroyalthings]

“awful homestuck phase” “problematic superwholock phase” “embarassing harry potter phase” “toxic marvel phase” shut up everyone shut the hell up, we’re unionising and cyberbullying the monarchy fandom. no more ship wars no more headcanon discourse no more fandom infighting only publicly humiliating colonial fetishists from now on

[alltheroyalthings]

Good God don't waste your time with that claireee person. "I didn't do the nazi salute as a kid cause my parents are not racist" I'm sorry, was claireeee a kid BEFORE WWII? What a ridiculous comparison. Also Philip FOUGHT FOR THE ALLIES. What a bunch of nonsense, knowledge of history my ass.

I know, but I don’t know the background of the person. Nor their age nor their knowledge background. I try to understand what they think.

[alltheroyalthings]

unfortunately i cant send links over ask but id be happy to send it on message if youd let me but one of their cousins WAS a nazi....PLUS the duke and duchess of windsor were massive nazi supporters and theres a 1933 video of the queen doing a nazi solute.

Do you think that I would like both the RF and the Windsors? Queen’s salute was a kid so it was her mother’s and uncle’s false and even though IT IS bad now try to put it in context for 1933. Also Philip’s sisters were married to Nazis as far as I remember (at least one of them), however I don’t think that makes Philip a Nazi. Since he fought on the allies side.

[claireeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

anyways this proves my point that the royal family is RAMPANT with nazis and nazi supporters, also i never did nazi salutes when i was a kid bc my parents werent racist and im not in a racist family, one of the many things the queen and i dont have in common. 

also i havent even addressed the pedophelia and incest

theyre literally all inbred lmao

[alltheroyalthings]

They are not Nazi supporters, they were literally on the opposite side.

[claireeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

do u think the royal family chose what side england was on?? WW2 happened bc of all the residual alliances from WW1...england basically saw germany conquering a bunch of countries they were in alliances with. just bc england faught against germany doesnt mean the queen isnt racist, there is so much proof of them doing racist things, being married to nazis and protecting a literal pedophile.

ik if we found a pedophile in my family we would stop talking to them, theyd be cut out. if my sister married a nazi id stop talking to her.

[alltheroyalthings]

They didn’t talk to Philip’s sisters or Windsors. If your brother/sister was a pedophile, are you sure that both your mother and father would stop talk to them? It’s easy to say something but for a parent is not always easy. I hope that behind closed doors she has made clear her views on his case. 

BRF was very much present during British Empire’s wars. Please search a bit more about it.

[claireeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

oh my god a hundred percent, my family did have a pedophile in it and we all stopped talking to him. that son of a bitch died alone and he deserved that. you hope she made that clear but shes a huge public figure head, isnt it important she at least sets an example for the rest of her country? if shes not even doing the bare minimum of setting an example, why do my taxes pay for her meals, cars, jewelry, clothes? like what is she even doing?

i actually know a l;ot about history and WW2 and i know exactly how much they were involved and what their motives were, i can assure you they didnt give a rats ass about the ppl who suffered in that war and made it VERY clear that POC soldiers (mainly indian soldiers) were to be on the front lines bc in their eyes the lives of those people were not important. yet ANOTHER display of racism.  also is there proof that the royal family cut off the sisters? that just seems like a baseless claim?

[alltheroyalthings]

His parents did well if they left him to die alone. She should do it, I agree but again do you think she should condemn him without court decision?

Philip didn’t talk talk to his family. He had a soft spot for his mother but that’s all.

[claireeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

yes absolutely she should condem him. my original questions still stands, how can you justify her protecting a pedophile from the press?

[alltheroyalthings]

How can she protect him from the Press. In my eyes, is just that the Press doesn’t do its job well. Why don’t you accuse them instead?

[alltheroyalthings]

“Waity Kaitie” is not just rude. It’s pure sexism.

Meghan made strong and right points on racism but she cannot undermine sexism this way.

I guess that’s why she asked them to cut it.

[heir-less]

Like, yeah, Waity Katie does have some sexist undertones but at the end of the day you cannot compare it to racist abuse because it does not dehumanize you on the same level. Waity Katie at least bases itself on Kate’s actions, be it real or imagined, the nickname stems from Kate waiting around for William to pop the question. Saying Meghan is “Straight outta Compton” is based off of racial stereotypes. Nothing more. That’s not undermining anything. Things can be wrong on varying levels.

And for the love of God, look up the term Misogynoir. Because Black women are also victims of sexism, believe it or not.

[alltheroyalthings]

Obviously black women are victims of misogynism. And plus racism. They have not only my respect but also sympathy, and I have to be grateful I am not in their place. This is the reason I didn’t want to believe that Meghan made this argument.

Also it’s simply sexist and you cannot put BUT or HOWEVER. For all I know it can be that Kate didn’t want to marry him earlier and Will waited for her to say yes. You don’t know what happens between couples. And to make women look less because the man is a Prince or a rich guy simply make misogynism in the world worse and more powerful.

[alltheroyalthings]

“Waity Kaitie” is not just rude. It’s pure sexism.

Meghan made strong and right points on racism but she cannot undermine sexism this way.

I guess that’s why she asked them to cut it.

[sussex-sweetheart]

Kate being called “waity Katie” isn’t sexist because it had nothing to do with her being a woman, but her actions. William was dubbed “workshy willy” for the exact same thing.

[cloudlilly]

Can you imagine?Not only “Waitie Katie thing” is not remotely close to how Meghan is treated by the racist, xenophobic, classist, misogynistic widely read uk press, but , in the same tone, the separate clip is thought to be Meghan’s request to be cut????.Nothing was hidden .All the clips were shown on the channel the following day, by the way.

(Note:One phrase with “yes… but …” dragged two women, Meghan and Oprah …The first for telling exactly how she felt, exactly to the point of disturbance (for others….) and the other, for doubting her professionalism in doing her job)

Meghan made this reference in an effort to tell us how she was “dealt” by her environment when she was asking to protect her and to defend her by telling the truth to the press….They asked her to swallow it, because others “had it bad as well”…They told her that the press was “rude” to them as well…They used the term…And they shared with Meghan the “Waitie Katie” thing as an example…

[alltheroyalthings]

I choose to believe that Meghan realised her internalized misogyny so she tried to remove it. Obviously the channel wanted out for more woman vs woman as there are women in the world who buy it. Sad. Don’t be one of them. 

Meghan dealt with misogynism among others so she had to understand that “Waity Kaitie” IS misogynism. Both (Will and Kate) of them weren’t married but OF COURSE is the woman that waits. This is misogynism. And you are a victim of internalised misogynism. Work ethic is one and double standards for women and men are another. 

[cloudlilly]

I choose to believe that Meghan understood the “hurtful impact” of that but she genuinely thought that it was not the same with what she experienced and with what she had to deal and for why she asked and reasonably expected a protection …She admitted that the social media expanded the impact of (my additions: racist, sexist , classist, extremely biased widely read ) uk tabloid press , which incited racism among people and as a result, she stressed more than once that, the level of risk was increased due to death threats….Wow.A minor detail…I am sure…

I also choose to believe that she had no say in what Oprah , THE OPRAH , would choose as the main body of the interview , and which equally interesting excerpts she would show the following days, including the painful one regarding her father…Actually the one about Kate, was the most indifferent to me.I had already my opinion on the matter as I lived through both “eras” and my opinion is stronger than Meghan’s….They didn’t cut them out and bury them.I was able to watch every each of them the following day , through twitter.Immediately.

To accuse Meghan of expressing internalized misogyny for referring to the pathetic excuse they gave her in order to “ shut up and deal with it ” , is really far fetched.And the woman said she admitted it must have been hurtful …That says a lot about her empathy.

She threw her heart out there and admitted painful situations.I have nothing more to add than I am incredibly happy she got out of the snake nest.

(Historically, the worst crimes and the worst discriminations have been perpetuated because some stayed silent or shrugged off “ oh it has been always like that”…)

It was not a “cool” discussion about race, sexism , misogyny etc .It was a woman exposing her thoughts, her experiences and the pain.

Try more empathy.

[alltheroyalthings]

Why her example wasn’t a man? I am sure they didn’t gave her just Kate as an example.

[cloudlilly]

Yes, the other example would be her husband…The royal family’s scapegoat for at least a decade (the biggest part of his early adult life) has been Harry….It became less of a scape goat through the years, because at some point they couldn’t continue to push their narrative to the “public” as his work and impact was coming to light.

So who would dare to name Harry as an example to Meghan …?Lol Can you imagine…

[alltheroyalthings]

Harry humiliated the RF many times mostly because his racist jokes and Nazi uniform. So he is not some innocent baby that didn’t deserve criticism. But yeah I forget that there were people who accused William because an adult Harry wore the Nazi symbol. I hope his wife doesn’t agree with that or his Paki comments. I mean I prefer someone who doesn’t work much that a person that talks and behaves like that. I hope that now under his wife’s he will address these issues and won’t blame someone else. Also Harry wasn’t workaholic and didn’t have any significant impact. Not larger than Will’s. I follow RF for 20 years closely to know that much.

[cloudlilly]

I am sorry you have drown these conclusions after your long time royal watching.It seems that there is no common ground for discussion.Especially if you have not seen any significant impact from Harry, which even their (extremely biased, racist, etc ) press admitted….Also when you mention that Harry serving for 10 years in the army and having done two tours ( the last as an Apache co pilot) along with his charity activities and royal duties (when asked) is “not workaholic…Well I wouldn’t call him workaholic either, but I would say that he has proven something on the work side….

Yes he was photographed wearing a fancy costume with the nazi symbol at a colonial themed party along with his brother and their posh friends…And his phone was hacked so his voice over of a video was sold to the media where he referred to a fellow soldier as Packi…

But you don’t mention that he protected a fellow gay soldier from the abuse and harassment other soldiers were doing on him…He admitted himself in 2008 after he left the army and he said that after Harry intervened they stopped harassing him.It didn’t make headlines…It was William’s cover on Attitude which made him a “hero of the LGBTQ community.

I prefer a human who works and acts, contributes, helps , gets passionate, even if he makes mistakes …Inertia, cowardness, self preservation are not something I look up to…

[alltheroyalthings]

I can number thousands examples where William have impacted people’s lives according to their testimony. But if we will refer to William’s negatives we will do it for Harry as well.

And sorry I don’t believe that Harry was ever in danger or worked as hard as other people had to do in army (also I am a strong opponent of Iraq and Afghanistan wars) and this was normal as he was a member of BRF. I hope he will use the connections he made as a part of the family he now accuses for good. That’s all I can say.

[cloudlilly]

I am a strong opponent of these wars as well, but that comment , if it is to take something away from Harry or anyone being sent there, it is not so ok…And yes he can and he should use ALL that he LEARNED being in the army and as a royal for good.As for the “connections” ,if they are remotely like his family …he will not need them .By the way he felt let down by his family…It is not an accusation.It is much deeper…They are indeed hostages of their own image and their (racist, sexist, etc) press.

So let us end it here.

[alltheroyalthings]

No worries. You made logical arguments and expressed your opinion with kindness and respect. Thank you for the discussion.
