The racism, nonce apologia, and airing out of Meghan's battle with mental health are pretty shitty things for anyone having to live with.
That said, she has enough money and connections to divest herself of that life and find her own retreat.
To me, this story and the behavior of the crown confirms they assassinated Diana.
I don't know about that, if you had to marry into the BRF to realize it's racist, I think that's on you. That's like if you married into the Koch family and were shocked by "hey I think all my in-laws hate poor people".

I mean, she's a black Hollywood actress. I'm sure her tolerance for racist creeps was already high enough before she met Harry. Are we really going to pretend the Royal Family is materially worse than half the sicko California producers?
the BRF and the Catholic Church are like the Michael Jordan and Larry Bird of powerful sickos
Hollywood sickos are only like Russel Westbrook level
loling at anyone just now figuring out that the "pure" white bloodline of royalty has racism issues.
The fucking Irish weren't even white enough for them guys
Because life is a gradient, not a checkerboard?
Also, by calling it "chapo" feed and still being married to the name, you gotta expect a little lib bleedover.
the podcast wouldn't be slobbering on that royal knob like this, actually
On the other hand there's the downside to not living in a monarchy, not having any monarchs to behead. (Parody, in civilization vi)
Protip: literally anything is better than spending your time being sad for millionaires.
I mean she goes around wearing blood diamonds so maybe they all just suck as people
No, none of them are human, none of them deserve anything. I am sorry but I cannot accept this.
TFW u come to the leftist web forum to avoid discourse about sympathy for literal monarchs but here we are nonetheless :agony-shrooms:
sandbagged by The Firm
She can't just expect to get in at Celtic or Rangers without some first-team experience in lower leagues.
Dispeling the notion that the royals or rich people are enlightened and merciful rulers is key to advocating for democracy and socialism.
Protip: you are allowed to simultaneously hate everything about celebrity and monarchy, but still have sympathy for Meghan Markle getting sandbagged by The Firm
I mean I defaulted to this because I needed a way to feel superior to both sides of whatever culture war this is.
She used her platform to bring attention to some humanitarian causes. Probably a little better than your average Brit, or is there some nefarious history I'm missing?
I’ve noticed the latest edgy Zoomer take is to say that Diana sucked. Yes, every royal sucks and the monarchy should be abolished, that isn’t in question. But Diana’s advocacy on behalf of HIV/AIDS patients truly was commendable. People are shades of gray and all that

That edgy groupthink contrarianism is such a turn off. All it does is put up my guard from assuming people are well-intentioned or know what they're talking about.
This is incorrect. Capitalist charities and celebrities are very good at taking credit for the work of millions of activists and organizers who are the ones actually getting things done after a lot of struggle and bloodshed. If you really think Diana's advocacy or rather her publicized photo shoots accomplished anything of value then you are simply buying into the royal marketing and PR.
Your takes are shrouded in darkness. Bringing attention to a cause and raising awareness and gobs of cash goes a long way, too.
No, it didn't achieve anything. The only thing the royal PR brought attention to is how great she was. There is no darkness in my mind, the only unfortunate thing about the death of any royal is that they didn't die at the hands of heroes like Khudiram.
Her celebrity definitely played a role, but you can't argue with raising hundreds of millions (if not billions) towards humanitarian efforts. Certainly nobler than being a curmudgeon on the internet.

I disagree, even a child who has yet to even learn to walk has already accomplished much more for humanity than any royal.
And the very concept of being a royal and "raising money" to help people is so incredibly funny that I am almost at a loss of words to explain it properly. See these people are parasites, their entire station in life, fame and wealth is built upon the oppression of billions of people and the theft of their labor all over the world. If they really wanted to help then why would one of the richest and most powerful dynasties in the world need to raise money? They could just spend all their ill gotten wealth, if they really wanted that pat in the back.
More importantly, like with any charities run by capitalists, no matter how much money they launder into these "humanitarian" causes for PR, it doesn't come close to repairing the damage they cause by accumulating and hoarding that wealth in the first place. The wealth of the british monarchy is stolen from not just the british working class but from people all around the world and from the genocide of millions, including my ancestors. My people had to be under the heels of these bloodsuckers for 200 years, and now I am being told that a few millions they threw away into charity to launder their image should make me celebrate them? Absurd.
Sorry, I am perhaps being a a little too harsh, I understand a lot of you are young ones who are getting into politics, which is why I am trying to be as patient as I can, but please don't defend the royals. No communist will want solidarity with western leftists who defend the royals.
Yeah. A good thing is a good thing, and it's good that good things are done. Like, I have done two good things in my life, doesn't make up for the three fucked up things I've put others through.
But those two things were pretty good. And that's despite them being associated with me.
As a representative of the zoomer vanguard, I'll certify the honoury zoomer status. (Though I'm as old as you can get while still being a zoomer, if that makes any sense)
Yeah, there’s been some sanitization of her lately. She was a master of self promotion. She wasn’t a commoner, but pretended to be one. Like, she did some good things sure, but like she pushed her step mother down the stairs. She held grudges and could be very cruel behind closed doors: everything was about her public persona and getting people to like her. Like there’s plenty more. But on AIDS she really did good work.
Being the least evil royal is a dubious honor, like being recognized as "best dressed pedophile" or "most eloquent war criminal".
Still the least bad member of the British Royalty since Queen Boudica
Form the largest united front possible for the demise of the monarchy! :sicko-crowd:
for cadres only
The cadet royals are to be dealt with later in the movement.
