Opinions on the new UK Kings coronation?

[BoomerD]

She is Yoko Ono in my opinion

That's a good comparison. She "broke up the band."

 

[IronWing]

LOL! If a third person can break up a marriage, it is only because the marriage was already over.

 

[Meghan54]

Don’t care. Guess it’s OK for the UK, tho.

Just curious as to the public opinion on the coronation on the weekend.
I can probably guess what ATOTs opinion is but I was curious as to how it's being portrayed in the media in the US.
Is there much coverage? Any significant difference in the feel of royal coverage now that Lizzy is dead and Charlie boy is in charge?

I mean I'm conflicted. On the one hand it's an archaic tradition that cements the inequality in society and has undertones of genetic superiority and crazy theories that harm society, on the other hand it's an extra bank holiday so I get paid extra for ignoring it.

hail King chuck.
wow.. he's 75?

soon: Hail king willy.
i would like his coronation music be Will Smith's Big Willy Style

odds of king chuck abdicates the throne soon? (like after a year)

Only chance I can see him abdicating is if he gets too infirm to carry on. Hes not going to give that fancy hat up easily.

(Brit here) I learnt which day the coronation was when someone posted an image on imgur of him being coronated.

It's only the British people's concern whether Charles will be as "hands on" and "involved" as he has wanted to be in his earlier years.

I see the photos and often think what century is this. That photo above looks like Charles is holding the Holy Hand Grenade and a Mace +4.

Where did you think Monty Python got the idea from?

Apparently the police were arresting protesters and seizing stuff like a truck full of protest signs saying" not my king"

LOL. I'm pretty sure that's not how the whole "king" thing works. The king is the king regardless of how one feels about it, that's sort of part of why the US exists in the first place, no?

What a lot of pomous ass hats.

The ass hats are only worn on very special occasions!

 

[Stopsignhank]

This one gave me a giggle

It's really, who the fuck cares, it has little impact on life even in the UK. Some seemed to enjoy it, others were annoyed and inconvenienced and question the expense... for those that live in the UK.

We in the US have our own archaic traditions that is destroying freedoms for many in the US. Born in the superstition of religion and seeking freedom from such archaic traditions we fought a war with the Brits, yet here we are with the insanity of the wisdom of ancient goat herders as the reason that women cannot have body autonomy, and criminalizing even dressing up in drag for entertainment.

The hoopla and ceremony of stroking a monarchs' ego pales in comparison to watching the ignorance of ancient goat herders destroy your country.

The gene pool of the monarchy is petty shallow, but not nearly as shallow as the gene pool in places like Alabama.

 

[GodisanAtheist]

Yup

I mean that's exactly the whole problem with it and why rejecting monarchj is a great thing.

 

[nakedfrog]

I mean, I've got no beef with rejecting monarchy, but they're pretty wealthy and powerful, so I don't think they're going anywhere in the next century or so. Just pointing out that you can protest them if you like, but simply by virtue of the way monarchies work, it's not a particularly effective avenue. Plus saying "Not my king" implies another king could be acceptable, versus a "Fuck the monarchy" sign

English Kings are gimped rich figureheads, with maybe some off-the-record, behind-the-scenes influencing. It is an English tradition to subvert power provided the base has sufficient resources and skill to do so, at great sacrifice. While it's not entirely impossible for Charles to order a hit, he can't do things like Putin can.

The Royals will probably hate their life but love the free property and money. I mean, Charles was also a "landlord" over his private lands.


The thing about U.S is that it was the elites want to do things their way differently than the elites of Britain and it is still a system of "elites" that rule the show, with the state Judiciary being the true enforcer of the laws(of course....since lawyers will protect their comrades in the industry) for the general public. There are elites of money(that pay lobbyists) and elites of knowledge(attorneys, and the politician is frequent a former attorney and judges are former attorneys), and it is the latter who are not appreciate for how scummy yet "reasoned" they are.

Because the judiciary is the primary enforcer of laws, many laws "do not apply" to those who do not:
1. Know how to battle well in that sphere
2. Don't have the resources
3. Lack of knowledge the exists(this is both good and bad, because if everyone knew all the "exploits", it's fair enough to say society probably would cannibalize itself)
4. Lack of time to read the giant mound of cases, which includes going back to England because English law is still applicable in many aspects of American common law.
5. The cost structure does not justify enforcement

The thing about the "English way" of petitioning, protest, etc, is that not every place is English in legal history. So, little naive people in general, regardless if they're politicians or laypeople, in non-English locales doing things the "English way" usually wind up dead, jailed, or neutralized. Basically, don't bring tea or fish and chips to a vodka party.
