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.

    But she still did a good thing with that and you aren’t going to win anyone over in the real world with such a holier than thou attitude.

    Maybe not in the west, but I have never in my whole life, that I have spent in academia and in organizing, ever met anyone who is sympathetic to the monarchy. I understand that to the westerners, who grow up consuming the sort of media that present the royals as saints and activists, any attack on the good royals might feel a little offensive, and for this reason I should have perhaps been less harsh in my pronouncement. I am sorry for that, but I want you to take a second and try to understand that when you say things like "she still did a good thing", it is still a very naive thing to say, it's the same as claiming billionaires with charities, which by the way are all of them, are doing good things.

      I hate the royals, but if you think the royals and billionaires are fundamentally incapable of doing a single good thing then I don’t know what to tell you. Harry could literally blow up Westminster when they go back home to visit for Easter and take all of em out and you’d be here saying it still wasn’t good

        No, the royals are not billionaires, they are far worse. There is not a single billionaire on the face of the earth right now whose wealth is the result of as much suffering and death as the british monarchy.

        Harry could literally blow up Westminster when they go back home to visit for Easter and take all of em out and you’d be here saying it still wasn’t good.

        Exactly, that's my point, there is absolutely nothing someone from the royal family can do for them to be considered "good". Any attempt at sanitizing their image from inbred incompetent idiots to something positive is simply buying into the royal PR and marketing machine and letting their narrative win. There is no better rallying cry to unite the working class of the world than by attacking the british monarchy and the members of this institution.
