The British Monarchy

[Parsifal]

^  One man's experience.

Americans being mostly brainwashed to worship power and money is part of the reason so many Americans fawn over the British Royal Family.  Another part is, even when we grow up, we remember being read and told stories about royalty.  That makes it partly nostalgia.  The final part is also because of the stories.  Americans have no actual direct experience of living in a monarchy, so that makes it an interesting sort of novelty as well.  Also, at this point, many Americans do not truly know how to live without extremes as we are also brought up from childhood by most of our parents to see everything in life as binary combined with many things thought to be compulsory, hence the US propensity for religious zealotry and bigotry.  Although, the US right-wing spent most of the 20th century brainwashing poor white people to be against their own best interests while emboldening and encouraging that same religious zealotry and bigotry.

Huh?

I don't want to make this thread about me, so I won't ask you to explain what you don't understand and just move on from here.
