    Never heard a European or Brit describe any royalty as classy, other than in sarcastic jabs at their mates (e.g “Who do you think you are, the Queen?” when somebody goes for the second-cheapest instant noodle option, instead of the cheapest).

    Largely, at least in Britain, they’re pretty widely considered inbred freeloaders, in my experience. Might be very biased, as I’m of a younger generation, but a lot of the older folk I’ve spoken to feel similarly (if, mostly, less hostile).

    Most people are completely apathetic at best, I think.

      Well, his Wikipedia article is horrifying

      He asserts that casual sex attracts subterranean spirits that make an impression on the inside of women’s vaginas and offers exercises to “clean out” said vaginas; he writes that children get cancer because they want it;

      Yeah sadly she counts as a royal, but the civilian in the picture is her sister in laws son pre marriage into the royal family. So technically not a royal, but might as well be.

      Most people in Norway like the king and the queen, and the crown Prince and the crown princess, and their children (together), they used to like this guy too before he got caught doing all this illegal shit

      Pretty sure my .22s have a larger bore, and I have a shitload.

      Funny story:

      Black dude runs up in the local redneck bar and starts waving a BB pistol around. “You’re money and your jewelry!”, kinda talk. People were like, whatever dude, that’s a BB gun. “I’m fucking serious!” One the guys playing pool walked up behind him and clocked him over the skull with the blunt end of a pool stick. Fin.

      Argument from Ignorance (Ad Ignorantiam): This fallacy occurs when someone asserts that a proposition is false because they personally haven’t heard of it, or it’s not commonly known to them.

      “Well, I've never heard of that” ⟶ Implies: “Therefore, it's probably wrong or not credible.”

      It’s an epistemic fallacy, where the absence of knowledge is treated as evidence of absence or insignificance.

      Essentially, your ignorance of the subject matter doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, it just means you’re ignorant of the subject matter. 🤷 🤣

        I missed the part where they said anything other than never having heard it themself. They never claimed that nobody says it. Maybe think about that next time you’re going to be condescending for no reason.

        Constitutional monarchs are even worse. They’re slimy, mincing predators, scavengers sitting on the sidelines.

        Modern royals remember the power their ancestors have, and they yearn for that power back. They play pretend that they’re happy being ceremonial monarchs. But really, they’re just biding their time. Monarchies are used to thinking in centuries. So they sit there, waiting on the sidelines, waiting for some crisis of democracy, something that causes people to lose faith in the system. Then they’ll step in and reclaim real power. They’re a bunch of mincing pedophiles just waiting for someone to lose sight of their kid.

      Son of the Norwegian crown prince. You’ll be unsuprised to learn that he stands accused of many sexual assaults.

      the son of the crown princess of norway. she had him before she was married to the crown prince so he’s not an official part of the royal family, but he’s a major pain in their ass anyway.

        first sentence was necessary context

        everything after that was rage-induced defensiveness
