  • Mistake ? No, the laws of nature will prevail, we’ll be gone eventually and life will prosper. We thrived for >100k years, in the last couple thousand most of us have made everything worse. Muchof that was ignorance so it’s somewhat understandable but since the 1970s we’ve been well aware.

    It is bemusing to see a species self aware enough to understand it’s destroying it’s own home and literally do everything it can to make it worae.

    Nature has time, billions of years. Inequality is our greatest act of stupidity, from that leads all the other stupidity (nation states, agriculture, roads etal) eg you can’t have 5 billion people driving cars, so no one drives cars, you can’t have 8 billion people flying so no one can etc). Eventually we’ll drown under a pile of our own waste. Climate change is I think the solution to the human problem (the collapse of “civilisation” not human extinction). before pollution etc but perhaps nuclear annihilation will do us in before cliamte change does ?









  • Thats simply not true of the UK, the Crown earns billions off the back of the peasents. One example, every sea borne wind turbine pays a tithing to the king so UK citizens have more expensive electricity as one example.

    The palace has staff in parliament to advise it if there is legislation it might deem inappropriate to the crown, they obterfer often.

    No legislation is legal until it gets Royal Ascent ie the asshole signs off on it. Similarly on Australia where he abdicates rhe job to the GG, HIS representative (not ours).

    The Crown has a massive land portfolio and rent seeks billions from many.

    The UK crown is toxic as fuck, just becase we have normalised their repugnant behaviour means nought.

    The previous Queen witch oversaw the slaughter of millions in the Mau Mai uprising in Kenya as another example

    Trumps an arsehole no doubt but he’s there becase that’s what people wanted, they even had a look back on 2016 amd said we want this shit again bitot was their choice The king should be hung and the royalty disbanded.
