Royal Insanity

Apr 29, 2011

Just Will & Kate, to you mate.

I LITERALLY PAY SO LITTLE ATTENTION, that when my son asked me this morning what Prince was getting married, I wasn’t sure. Then he asked if it was true that Royals married among themselves and why didn’t they all end up nuts. Many did, I answered.Then I started thinking about why I don’t give a shit, and why so many Americans as well as other World Citizens do.

Its the old “Little girl dreaming of being a Princess thing.” That is everything that is wrong with the world and the American psyche. We all want to be in this privileged class in which everyone reveres us, and caters to our every whim. We yearn to be among the ranks of an Elite that shouldn’t exist in the first place. We want the jewels, the pomp, the circumstance, never thinking that even the polish for the armorplate of the attending guard would feed a third world nation for a week.

These are people who believed they were Divinely set apart, had blood so superior to the rest of humanity that breeding with the “lesser beings” is still scandalous.

Rather than come with pitchforks to the event, as the British are asked to accept austerity, they and we wax all sentimental and dreamy about the “precious fairy tale” of it all, and swoon at this grotesque carnival of excess. The money spent on this fiasco would spare so many in England the indignity and hardships they are being made to endure.

The beautiful gowns we will never wear. The Blood Diamonds dripping off every neck, wrist, finger and lobe. The feathers, the flowers, the absolute deferential respect given this small group of self-appointed Elites that still consider themselves a race apart.

Sure, people like their childhood fantasies, fantasies fed them to ensure that adulation. Is it not time to wake up and realize that a far better dream for a world is one in which no small group of people drain so much of the World’s resources with not only our permission, but our fondest wishes for them.

Fuck the Royal Wedding. Fuck the Royal Family. Fuck the Queen and her spawn. Fuck the British Empire and its demon child American Imperialism. Fuck the dream of being one of the Oppressors.

Long live the People. Long live the dream of equality. Long live the revolution. Long live V!!!!
