To be looking forward to watching Trumps inauguration on Monday

[Viviennemary]

I'm quite looking forward to this. And wondered if anyone else was. I don't expect so but thought I would ask anyway!

To be replaced by JD Vance?

Or a referendum. Less deaths you know?

But nobody can say whether the majority of people in the UK agree that one family is better than everyone else unless they have surveyed the whole of the UK.

In my opinion, a lot of humans are stupid.

Not stupid in that they have low intelligence.

But they are really stupid in the ways that they abuse themselves. They never think for themselves. They keep voting in corrupt nasty old men.
And they keep corrupt nasty systems (like the royal family) going.

And they never seem to think for themsleves ,
or see that they could free themselves from the corrupt systems that they are living in.

Better? God, no. We are just cynical about the benefits of a revolution and enjoy a bit of pomp and ceremony. And when they die you get a holiday thrown in to boot.

The royal family is an extremely corrupt system

If you speak to people from countries who don't have a royal family,

They think that the UK having a royal family in this day and age, is extremely bizarre.

I don't care about what people in other countries think. I'm just telling you that most people here aren't very invested in the royal family and they aren't very interested in getting rid of them.

Well they should be interested in getting rid of them.

The royal family affects the entire rest of the country.

The royal family sets a very bad example for cruelty, nastiness and inequality.

Which feeds down into the rest of UK society.

Yeah, I didn't totally think that through🤣

Yeah, not many people care. Sorry about that. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also the whole system of having one leader (usually an extremely old man) - to have power over a whole country,

Is an extremely stupid system.

Why don't they ever change the system.

And make it better.

For example they could vote in a group of people - who will all be at the same level of power and position.

It could be called the presidents group. And they would all have the same power and responsibility as each other

That was exactly my point.

People don't change the system, even If it hurts them.

Humans are strange.

They keep voting in bad people that will hurt them.
And they kept royal families in - even though royal families hurt them.

It's meek stupidity.

Humans in history often have followed these kind of patterns. It's interesting.

They will follow a man that abuses them into the ground, and they will not stand up for themselves in any way.

An extreme example is the jonestown massacre.

Where people joined a cult and followed the male leader's orders, until they eventually killed themselves in huge numbers for him

I was watching a documentary about it recently. One couple had left the cult - they were in the documentary.

People joined the church in America because jim jones the leader, promised them all a better way to live.

The man in the documentary said that he joined the church and he thought that Jim jones was great.

Then Jim jones started taking everyone's money. He insisted that they handed over their whole salary to him every month. People said "but it's for the greater good of the church".

Then he started beating people up and torturing them. The man in the documentary said he started to question it, and people in the church said "but sure its for their own good".

Then he heard that Jim jones was raping people. Still they all stayed with him. The man in the church said that when Jim jones beat up his daughter, he eventually said enough is enough and he left'

He said he looked back and thought "how could I have been such a fool". And then he said "at least I was only a fool for some of the time. At least I left".

People traditionally in history keep following corrupt male leaders.

People in general need to be mentally stronger and stand up for themselves.

Or it's cynical acceptance that every system is flawed and every system has a structure that builds in all those perceived disadvantages that you have labelled and people prefer the stability of the status quo. Anyway, you can rage about how things should be but it's nothing that nobody hasn't heard before and it won't inspire a revolution.

@PandoraSox

Well there is a historical precedent for this actually happening!

I'm not trying to inspire a revolution.

Believe me I know the sheeple won't be motivated to get rid of their owner. They're brainwashed.

I'm stuck with a royal family that I don't want.

I know many people feel the same as me.

But we don't have enough numbers to get a revolution going. Yet.

Id say there will be a referendum on it, next generation

I remember government all the way back to Harold Wilson. They all fail in the end.

If the royal family go we will have a president who's just another politician.

I'm leery of the talk about super mayor's in more cities controlling the police, handling huge sums of money having sen Sadiq Khan in action.

I think it's the opposite tbf.

@Tekbrobillionaire

Women, poor people, “non white” people and young people all voted for him. Overwhelmingly. Why do you think that is?

Most young people did not
Most Latina women did not
Most Jewish people did not
Most black Americans did not.

I see you beat me to it with the data.

Data does not persuade Trump fans.

This is true! 😂

We could say the same about Brexit, Starmer, and undoubtedly Reform in a few years.

Your point?
