      Let’s not pretend it is in any way the same thing it was a few hundred years ago.

      Royals used to be the ruling class, the top dogs, the owners. this is obviously not the case any more.

        If you look at how much property the british crown still owns: they’re still part of the owner class.

        Now they are just harmless parasites. But if the opportunity came to take back power they would seize it, so we better get rid of monarcs

          Harmless? Tell that to the millions in abject poverty because these fucks leech everything that can.

          If your country has any “royals” at all and even a single person among you is struggling to get enough to eat, earn enough money to survive, or even keep a home… those royals are only harmless to you and even then only in your head. 🤢
