Every time I see a post about how “badass” the British royalty is, I lose ten years of my life. 

There’s a post going around about Charles and some assassination attempt and there are all these comments under it about how Elizabeth is ‘so cool’ with some picture of her shooting a machine gun and it has a gazillion notes and I’m like…

What fucking year is it?? How the fuck are all these people still buying into imperialist monarchy propaganda rhetoric???? I thought the teaboo phase was over?? Or maybe people keep forgetting that brown people exist. The effects of the British parliamentary constitutional monarchy’s colonialism. The entire last century or two. Maybe that’s more likely.

Protip: If your standards for ‘cool’ involve old grannies shooting guns and dudes keeping cool in the face of death, reblog pictures of revolutionaries of color fighting back against violent white supremacy and not the wrinkly leeches who live forever and breed expensive dogs on taxpayer dollars. All their jewels are stolen and their accomplishments are hereditary.

Charlie and Liz are not badass. They’re symbols of ugly history. Stop worshipping British royalty, please and thank you.
