Elvis gave a Christmas speech?

The King gave an address to hundreds of people assembled in freeside and heard by radio across the Mojave.

jesus christ. even in this hell country (ukkk) i genuinely don't know a single person who watches that shit, but abroad? thats unfathomable levels of cucked

That's one where you don't even have to reveal your power level to object. I just say that we. fought. a. war. (pressing down on the table) and WE WON. Giving a shit about those fucks flies in the face of even the whitewashed history they taught us in elementary school.

I think I know a few well-born tories that might watch it. Maybe.

[–] Thorngraff_Ironbeard@hexbear.net 37 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Absolutely fucked. That is like the one good thing that came out of American Independence is we accepted as a nation that having Kings is cringe.

Have you spoken to USians? They love the Bri*ish monarchy.

[–] Thorngraff_Ironbeard@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

I know they exist but fortunately I don't know any Royal Watchers. As good Americans we should watch the Kardashians because the meritocratic force of the market chose them, not some silly divine right!

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

That's what I told them and then my dad got grumpy

Funny that the US president quickly ended up with more power and less accountability than the British Monarchs.

Not even real liberals at that point. Trump is more liberal than them.

A lot of chuds for some reason love the royals because they hate Megan Markle for some reason??? I think the chud media spehre made it a culture war issue or something. Royal bullshit drama makes no sense and they get mad at me for suggesting we should execute the royal family.

us-foreign-policy

[–] miz@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

white supremacy. hate for Markle is a way to express otherwise socially unacceptable anger about the racial purity of the figureheads

[–] Saeculum@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

They hate her because she's American and the British ruling class can't stand it. They managed to get the last royal to marry an American to abdicate, and they're bitter that they couldn't bully Harry out of it.

The only speech he should be giving is the the sound of his head hitting the guillotine basket. gui
