Why we don’t need the royal family anymore


There was a time when kings actually had a role. Centuries ago, a king would have been the most powerful man in the country (when we were still a Catholic country, the king would have been less powerful than the Pope). The King made all the decisions, and didn’t give a damn about ideology (which, as we know it, wasn’t even invented until the French Revolution). The only bias the king had was his religion. Not only that, but the king was perfectly willing to go to war with his fellow man, as demonstrated by Richard the Lionheart during the Crusades.

Nowadays, the Royal Family is a purely aristocratic circle that does absolutely nothing other than:

Evade taxes
Parade around foreign countries (some of which the Queen still owns)
Trying to convince everyone that they’re still worthy of their existence.

What I’m trying to say is that their nothing more than celebrities, you know, the people we should be despising. In an effort to maintain their existence in a democratic society which, logically, doesn’t need them anymore, they’ve become a part of our celebrity culture, another thing we should be despising. They’ve been doing this since the Second World War ended, and democracy became more prominent. The status of the royal family as celebrities has become more profound as the reign Queen Elizabeth II continued, and as Princess Diana’s popularity continued to rise.

For me, the trashy, celebrity part of the royal family has reached a point where it completely swallows up every other aspect of the royal family, as if they only exist to be treated the same as celebrities, except for the fact that the British still hold them as sacred. For God’s sake guys, the royal family is out of touch with the real world, today’s world. And yet we still think they’re important, and perfect. Not only that, but the media expects us to worship the royals like the gods they aren’t, whilst simultaneously subjecting them to the same disgrace on the tabloids as celebrities.

god save the queen

Oh give it a rest will you?

Even such “patriotic” catchphrases as “God save the queen” are now nothing more than corporate slogans placed on cheesy merchandise to sell crap. This culture allows a complete nobody, who did nothing of any worth to gain the praise of millions of idiots. I’m of course talking about Kate Middleton, a woman who’s otherwise so worthless, that topless photos of her will instantly magnetize attention to her, like there’s nothing better for us to focus on.

Most people will say that we need the royals because it brings tourism to the country. Excuse my French, but I think the Olympics already accomplished that. And let’s be reasonable. If tourism is the only reason we keep the royal family (aside from the trashy celebrity culture), then something is truly wrong. Not to mention the fact that the royals are extremely rich. All the money they have could have easily gone towards curing cancer or AIDS, and people think that somehow the royals are more deserving of it?

Good God, what has our society come to? It values a dying, useless circle of aristocrats on gold chairs rather than doctors who save lives. It values trashy celebrity culture over the people who help their community everyday, and all of what I have said, is why I believe we don’t need the royal family anymore, and may we be better without them.

but without them at the top of the table who pays for the next jet set of celebrities, society here is not as fair as it could be but its not as unfair as it is in other places, you clearly despise anyone who gains cash or influence through being popular, yet fail to notice celebrities have always existed in every cultrure be it the witch doctor in a tribe or the oppressor in chief in a communist country they are all celebrities, every hero or villan is a celebrity every leader in every country is a celebrity, the more popular ones remain at or near the top those that slide down the totem either disappear into obscurity or finish with an iron overdose throughout history, the trick has always been to keep enough people on side to avoid the slide.

the royals are important as personifying the pinicle of that society holding it to a level of decorum and setting the standard of acceptability, those who fail to remember their duty end up dethroned (as is currently starting to happen in spain and happened in various other parts including france) if you remove the gold standard from society you end up like Russia or china (both of which toppled their royals and ended up in obscurity and isolation from the rest of the world because they couldn't conform with accepted wider rules)

you don't have to like the people at the top but understanding they fulfil several roles both obvious and not so obvious is key before determining if they should be displaced or not, Cromwell made a mistake when he rid the country of the monarch during the revolution, a mistake he only realised after more than a decade in charge and then his pride prevented him from correcting that mistake until he was himself deposed and the king brought back to the table (although he wasn't fit to rule and should have been killed much earlier in the whole process) the secret has always been ensuring the person at the top doesn't want the job, anyone elected to the top spot will be craving the power and that pretty much always means there not fit to rule...

before St Teflon B'liar removed their capacity to prevent it they acted as a handbreak for dangerous disruptive or destabilising legislation by simply refusing to sign it off, he stopped short of deposing the crown though because even the craven power hungry fool he was he knew his life expectancy would shorten considerably should he take that final step ...

as with anything no system is perfect but before new labour it was a lot fairer than it currently is, the people in power took the long term view rather than the short term stop gap measures and things were generally a lot fairer with equal chance for those at the bottom to rise or those at the top to fall, now the only way is up and the system has been broken and desperately needs fixing, the royals have been dragged down to common celebrity status in many respects and uncaring unelected dolts have been elevated to an almost even position by an increasingly poor poorly educated public, decades of refusing to insist on proper values in the class room and feeding increasing numbers with mindless drivel on the goggle box has had a nasty effect, coupled with tv dinners and convenience food pumped full of brain dulling chemicals its taken a terrible toll on society at large.....
