It still blows my mind that Americans think the British monarchy has any political power. Just go and at least give a cursory glance at the wikipedia, before you spout out this drivel.

No one said it does. You are a bell end, and you are triggering yourself with your own moronic beliefs. Everything I said still applies without the strawman bullshit you attached to it. Kindly extricate yourself.

Firstly, I've had at least two people saying they are now so...

Secondly, which moronic beliefs are those?

Thirdly, we're in a thread talking about the British monarchy in particular. Though you may have been talking about Royalty in general, it's pretty important to bring up the fact the Britain has a constitutional monarchy, and is thus in no way a tyranny. So you can can have Royalty separate from the concept of tyranny.

That does not a cohesive argument make.

Okay Yoda. Get back to me when some knowledge you have.

But you're not even presenting an argument. You keep making random accusations about the British monarchy bring a tyranny all of which I have debunked. Then you spam me with over a dozen links and claim I need to "educate myself" in an effort to make it seem like you know what the hell you're talking about when you clearly don't.

If you can't see Western tyranny, of which they certainly play a role, I can't help you. You've debunked nothing.

What?

The only two claims of specific tyranny you made; the crown having land in its name (which still falls under government control) and this bizzarevaccusation of Trudeau "keeping their secrets" (which is totally nonsensical) I pointed out were wrong.

Spamming links and telling me to "educate myself" with out providing an argument is painfully reminiscent of the woke mob yet again.

I have already debunked all your claims that the British Monarchy is any way a tyranny. It is a constitutional monarchy. You simply repeating these claims is not an argument.

You sound like shill timesuck socks.

I don't understand what any of that meant.
