If you are a 5 year old girl playing princess at your tea party, its a wonderful costume. And dont forget to hold your pinky up while sipping. Otherwise it just makes the king look out of touch.

Weird that you're making this a US problem
This is the fediverse; shitting on the US is its favorite pastime, even when the US isn't involved.
Well, maybe second favorite pastime after talking about Linux.

That's because he's recently been on a state visit to the US where he was unanimously welcomed by all of Washington, with none of the politicians of either party bringing up how absurdly anti-denocratic and elitist monarchy is.
To be fair, while having a monarchy is bullshit, it's still less ridiculous than electing Donald Trump president.

True, but so are 99.999999% of all things that have ever happened in the history of all possible realities.
Im not really a fan of the monarchy but I feel like your assessment might be a little unfair.
He gave a speech to congress and hilighted a lot of ways in which republicans are undermining democracy, and a lot about how Trump is destabilising global politics for no benefit.
In that speech, literally in the lions den, he was more critical of Trumpism than any world leader has been in recent months.
He can get away with it because hes a head of state, yet he has no control - the unique position of a monarch in a modern democracy.
The silly hat is silly, but traditional garb always is.
Don't forget he is the head of state of a close ally. You should be nice to your allies' heads of state when they visit your country.
At least as a politician. The rest of us can rage

Lol yeah the US is a real bastard here for being friendly to the foreign leader they're hosting. Really good take, you should run for office
You really think either of the two US parties are truly pro-democratic/anti-elitism?

At least Chucky's shit isn't spray painted plastic from Home Depot
60 bucks that that ugly shit?! Who is buying this ugly shit... Wait. Stupid question.
it's interesting, because the royals preach that poor people need help. meanwhile, this douche and his "family" are bringing in millions for doing...... jack fucking shit?
these fucktards wouldn't know a day of struggle in their lives. They're born into privilege, and that's all they know. Fuck the royals.
Yes, I REALLY fucking hate the royals. Much more than regularly billionaires. They're despicable.
I don't know if I agree with the regular billionaires being any better (since the vast majority of those owe most if not all of their dragon hoards to privileges not available to regular people and are equally kept from ever losing it via laws that favor them over everyone else), but you're ABSOLUTELY 100% spot on about the rest and I couldn't agree more!
It is weird that the royals top side quest is like helping poor people. Meanwhile, they wear a stolen diamond worth a billion dollars on their crown.
exactly my point. He preaches "SAVE THE POOR!" from his GOLDEN FUCKING THRONE. the fuck is he doing to save the poor? getting richer, that's what.
fuck. now I'm angry.
fuck. now I'm angry.
I'm sorry he's ruining your mood, but being pissed off is ABSOLUTELY the most fitting reaction to both the concept and specifics of royalty somehow still existing in the 21st century.
They also try to save the environment by flying on private jets all over the world whilst leaving the heating on in their several mansions.
I get you. I really do. But let me offer you some perspective. Monarchs are born into their role. They have no choice in the matter and are raised according to a blueprint of what a monarch shall be. They have no power, no voice, no vote.
I do get you. They don't know strife or hardship. But for the love od me, I'd never would have wanted to be born as a crown prince.
Now lets talk about their appendages (brothers, sisters, offspring), who do get a lot of money for being born, they heve a vote, freedom, power and a voice. The aristocrasy is what is costing the tax payer a lot of monies.
Billionaires on the other hand chose to hoard and not to share.
Personally, I don't mind a monarch, if they'd be paid at the same rate as government officers and only thw monarch. The rest of the family can go to work like normal people.
That would be more correct if the royals didn't regularly petition parliament to change laws that financially impact them.
The late queen did so on several occasions. Many of these law changes were not friendly to the environment either.
There are monarchs around the world who have stepped down and reframed their roles as part of modern democracy, yet the British ones cling to a particularly out of touch model.
They also tried to cover up the shenanigans of a peodphile sibling too.
So, sure, they are born into it, but that's no excuse for what they do and to suggest they don't know any better is a shallow view of humanity that supposes an inability for empathy.
Besides that, the monarchy acts as a symbol that some people are better and more elevated than others -- decreed by god -- only through the process of birth. This is a cornerstone of all nationalism, racism, and xenophobia that has no place in a modern civilisation.

I recently learned that King Charles was good friends with Jimmy Savile. I'm sure it's a coincidence his brother, Andrew, was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Funny how those two child trafficking rings were two degrees of separation.
Hey it's that dude from the money!
The sole fact that there are still 43 monarchies functioning globally speaks volumes about the state of humanity.
Whether or not a country has a monarchy doesn't mean much as far as their system of government. All the Scandinavian countries have royal families, while the US, Israel, and Russia do not. Which countries are the most totalitarian?
Danish royalty is just as immoral as British royalty. This is pretty much the same as being religious while talking down other religions. No one should be treated like royalty, full stop. Its never made sense and it never will, its just coercion and manipulation turning people against themselves.
I don't disagree, but in terms of real world effects the existence of a monarchy is less important than what power they actually wield.
I think large societies believing in this flawed social structure has immense real world effect, but you are right that not all of them wield the same practical power.
In the same vein as billionaires should not exist, you're right.
Not all monarchies are the same
The US "republic" is clearly more flawed than a lot of constitutional monarchies.
The fact that like 3/4 of all people are religious says more about the general stupidity IMO

I DARE you to google "WWF king of the ring", and then click the images tab.
Yes, pro wrestling is all bullshit, but the difference is actual kings wear that garb as tradition dating back hundreds of years. WWF/WWE only did this shit for like 15 years, before they realized it's stupid. But they still DID it for 15 years.
Wrestlers wearing royal stuff is kinda parody, plus I assume that the story is that it's more "this guy was strong enough to claim the title of 'king'" instead of being born into it, making it somewhat merit-based (most royal lineages started like that, but once inheritance comes into play it's just a bunch of douches who are barely not terrible enough at their job to keep the title).

I feel very comfortable with saying that they symbolise the failures of the human races much better than almost anything else.
- Fascism - there is an obvious link
- Classism - there is an obvious link
- Pedophilia - there is an obvious link
- Colonisation- there is an obvious link
- Exploitation ...
- Politics by old people for old people
- Traditionalism
- ...
- ...
You get the point. What is wrong with the world? A picture of these people would be a matching picture, no matter what answer you want to provide.
In the white house, they just put all that shit all over the walls for our pedo king.
We already dealt with that. It's not our job anymore.
You dealt with it? How's that new imperial ballroom and arch coming along?
