Johnny Martin Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) 18 hours ago, Antlion said: Impossible. It has to be one or the other. They either believe that their bloodline entitles them to higher social and political positions than others (in which case they’re supremacists) or they don’t believe this and accept those higher social and political positions anyway, which makes them con artists. The only other possible alternative is that they literally don’t think, and so lack the critical faculties to even recognise the link between their bloodline and privileged, superior status - which might be true in some cases. Having higher social and/or political positions than others does not equate to having a sense of superiority or superior bloodlines. You're really scraping the barrel now.

You're really scraping the barrel now. Accepting superior social and political positions that are based on hereditary bloodline absolutely does equate to a belief in superiority of bloodline. And if they don’t believe that and accept those positions anyway, they’re just con artists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough - though that does raise the question: why do you think royals and aristocrats keep subscribing to and accepting bloodline-derived higher social positions? I.e., rather than telling us what you think they don’t believe about their status and how they got it, how about telling us what you think they do.

Who can forget, when lizzie pegged it, the big family discussion in Windsor as to who would be up for head of state next? Maybe it would be one of the local lollipop ladies, or that nice Marcus Rashford chap? Who knows, since none of them believe or support the system they benefit so well from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they accept them because the social positions are their birthright. They also have a duty to fulfil the roles in question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the royals happily profit - constitutionally and socially - from a system which elevates them solely due to “birthright” (and this in a supposed democracy), yet they don’t even believe that that bloodline is inherently superior to those denied the same privilege. They even think they have a duty to profit from higher positions based solely on birth. Dirty fucking b*****ds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Meghan is a lying jobbie of a person. Granted she does have huge backing from American wrong’uns who still wear Covid masks in their own car, when they’re alone. That said I hope she brings down the monarchy including the ginger Nazi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I'm taking a perverse satisfaction from not knowing WTF is going on with Harry Windsor and his wife, and it'll be a disappointment when I inevitably find out, probably by being stuck on a long train journey near a couple of auld women gossiping about the whole thing. However, she must be a total b*****d, as I don't remember seeing so much casual hatred for a person on newspaper/magazine covers, TV, the internet, and from passing strangers since Savile was finally outed. I'm guessing she must have killed Diana, Queen of Hearts and bragged about it on Netflix? I know they're involved somehow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see them as being elevated or profiting, but being born into unique positions where they serve their country for life. Many on this board will have benefited from inheritances from their parents. The difference with the Royals, is that they're getting a country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
