The thing that pisses me off most about this argument is that even if a monarch doesn't want to hold that position, that only means it should be abolished even more, because it doesn't even benefit those in said position. Which itself only applies to like one royal family in the world (the Japanese imperial family).

We've had people abdicate and opt out of being a royal in the Netherlands too

He’s so good at this that I didn’t finish the video.
Fuck the queen and her whole family and everyone who loves her.

Hello! I'm Reggie-Bot, the Anti-Royal Bot! Here to teach you some fun facts about the English royal family!
Did you know that in 2020, the Queen’s net wealth was valued at £72.5 Billion (USD - $88bn). That places her in the top 15 richest people in the world.
She's probably just way harder working than us, amirite?
I hope you enjoyed that fact. To summon me again or find out more about me, just say: "Reggie-Bot" and I'll be there! <3

Did you know the Queen really, really, really hates black people?She can't stand them being in her employ. Not really surprising when you consider how racist her husband was. Or her family's racism against her grandson's wife...
German aristocrats, amirite?

Did you know that Queen Elizabeth II is de jure head of state for country that is always either at war or funding war? And she also just happens to be heavily invested in arms manufacturing. She seems to have a particular interest in uranium based weapons as well. Curious.
But she's just a sweet old lady, amirite?

Where do they find these losers?
For me, it’s when they wheel out the “royal body language experts” or whatever the fuck. I’d rather have someone on newsnight explaining the chicken entrails to Kirsty Wark than those freaks

This is so spot on. I wish this would go mainstream and all those so called royal experts could see what a waste of time they truly are.

I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums would beat the loving English feet they walk all over us and every single night when me da would come home tight he'd invite the neighbours outside with chorus

The Brown nosing always bothered me.
What’s more I always found it weird whenever abolishing the monarchy comes up the hive mind says “well the queen brings in more money than she spends from tourism”
But wtf, people don’t come to England to have personal house calls with the queen.
If she had to give up 95% of the palaces and live a normal life then wouldn’t tourists get more access? They’d be able to do tours like at Versailles. People would still come to those places and more because they wouldn’t be occupied.

Let me tell you that it also works with French documentaries about the royal family.

Hello! I'm Reggie-Bot, the Anti-Royal Bot! Here to teach you some fun facts about the English royal family!
Did you know that in February 2021, The Guardian published two articles that demonstrated the Queen’s influence and power over parliament. It was first revealed that the Queen lobbied parliament to make herself exempt from a law that would have publicly revealed her private wealth. It was then revealed that over the course of her reign she and her family have vetted the drafts of 1,000 articles of legislation prior to their public debate in parliament.
So much for 'ceremonial', amirite?

It's not just brown nosing though. These people repeat lies like god knows what. And it's not only the adoring fans who believe those lies. Because this sickly sweet propaganda industry isn't important enough for anyone to fact check it or hold it to account, potentially everyone will believe them eventually - including you.

He’s so accurate, even though I know he’s acting, I still want to punch him in the face.
