Not really a meme, I know, but I thought this was amazing and worth sharing and I didn't know where else to share it on Lemmy.
Ursula LeGuin was an incredible person and, although she did live a long life, her death was still a huge loss.

Sorry, but where are the monarch in the American Continent? And I mean from the north of Canada to the South Of Chile.
Where are they?
The US president reminds me of the kings of old - more so than anybody actually called a king. The kind of fawning exaltation their current and former leaders receive is way, way over the top. 'Presidents Day' like there's a pantheon that needs worshipping: pathetic. The fear/respect people close-to treat them with reminds me of the servile peons under some all-powerful autocrat, and not for no reason. The power these people have is way, way, way over the top, power that - rather than helping disillusion an entire population brainwashed by the lie of superiority - wages revenge wars and swings dicks.
The monarchy of England is still in charge of Canada.
While true on paper, they don't have any actual power here.
Then why do you keep them around?
Inertia.
Also while a wealthy family enterprise, they neither
It's actually a huge step down from the kind of power royalty used to enjoy.
