In the modern world, there are
many people and corporations that control our lives. The monarchy is one of
them. They have a massive – and completely useless - influence upon how we view
our little stinking peasant-hole of a country. They are like an ornament that
never fits anywhere after moving house. Does it look nice? Maybe in the right
circumstances. These circumstances aren't present at the moment. Is it useful? No. Does it have a purpose
anywhere? As such, no. It gets in the way and doesn't do anything useful. This
public symbol of England is a relic of another age and is just weighing the
already collapsed country down, rather like raging bureaucrats and financial
debt.
No matter whether or not they pay
taxes, they own a lot of property, too much for one family to use effectively.
They have 24 private residences, most of them in groups of ownership (i.e. four
owned by one person). Some of these properties aren't even theirs; they just
inherited the damn things when they took over the country. This property could
be used for the benefit of the people. People living in the urban sprawl often
complain that they don’t have the wide open spaces that are good for their
health, and that their children are missing out on the fresh, clean air that
they - as innocent children - apparently deserve. (It’s a stupid theory if you
ask me, but that’s an argument for another time.) The monarchy owns acres of
land with marginally cleaner air and wide green spaces that could be given to
the public. Now this isn't to say that they don’t deserve their own property,
heaven knows, they've done enough useless crap to have earned it, but there is
a limit. They have gone past this limit – way past it. They've scrubbed out the
limit mark and then done whatever the hell they want. Some people get annoyed
if someone owns more than one property as a holiday home. This is a little more
extreme and therefore, a little more emotion that plain old indifference is
required.
The royal family has crossed the
line with what they should control. They take decisions that are not theirs to
make. They meet with leaders and sign papers, jobs that are already done by the
British government – a useless enough process as it is, when they aren't even
chosen to do this. They don’t know the people as well as our fairly elected
representative. If someone that has been so out of touch is making decisions,
how can we be sure that they are the right ones? They are making decisions on
subjects that they don’t know enough about; they are running a country that
they don’t know well enough to be considered a normal member of society. They
aren't affected by the decisions that they make, so they aren't aware of the
more obscure and dangerous consequences of their actions like the public is. This is not the way that a country is run, it
is the way that a street gang is run, one cowardly idiot, managing to stay
unharmed and using the other gang members as pawns, getting them killed.
The monarchy is a normal family.
There’s nothing special about them, nothing special in their blood that makes
them more fit to run the country than the normal family from London, or any
other part of England, for that matter. If there was something about them, then
everything taught to the younger generations, saying that ‘they can be who they
want to be’ and ‘there’s nothing stopping them from being the best’, is all a
lie. This sort of betrayal and double standards shows how quickly everything
can spiral out of control, into chaos. They have strived to show themselves as
more normal than they used to be perceived. The royal family can’t be a special
case just because of their upbringing and how their parents acted. If that was
true, then we should still be burning witches and shooting deserters because
that is what used to happen. Is this an ideal society? No, it is an outdated
one with its head too far up its own ass to see the truth.
The monarchy is a relic from
another era, just here because of tradition, more than necessity. Other
countries achieve more than Britain, and they don’t have another leader slowing
them down. America has one absolute leader, and then congress (their version of
parliament), and they have achieved more than Britain has so far. They have put
multiple people in space and on the moon without help from any other countries.
Britain has produced almost nothing productive in the last decade or so. And
no, stealing other people’s technology for a different purpose doesn't count. There
was a time when Britain was an industrial giant, producing amazing feats of
engineering. Now we produce nothing, simply because no-one does enough work, because
the country can’t seem to realise how dysfunctional its leaders are. This is because the figures of power in today’s society
are just getting in the way. Without the monarchy or government as we know it
at the moment, the country might just get its act together and be useful for
once in its miserable modern life.
The monarchy is outdated,
gluttonous and out of touch with the modern world. There is simply no need for them
anymore. In another time, there was a need for them. This decade, however is
not that era. One day, this country will
need to take its head out of its ass and see how badly it requires a hot shower
and an energy drink after its seemingly perpetual hangover. It is the
twenty-first century, and what this country needs is change, otherwise we will
spiral out of control and plunge into another dark ages. However, with the
amount of idiots around, that might be helpful.
