1. Bullshit. Post WWII was an era of Decolonisation. As usual, these types of panelists are ignorant

of history. UK began de-colonising post World War II.

As you well know Queen Elizabeth came to the thrown in 1952.

Please kindly stop posting uninformed and possibly dishonest “experts”. Thanks!

2. Nothing bullshit about recognizing the Deadly Legacy of British Colonialism;

it's history.

3. I understand. I also understand that pretending Queen Elizabeth is a symbol of British Colonialism

is a cheap bullshit rhetorical tactic. She had nothing to do with policy and took the throne after Britain began decolonizing.

It is dishonest “clickbait,” and I don’t like that tactic whether it comes from the Fox News rightwing or the left.

Take care.

4. The obvious aspect which I never thought about deeply anyway

was the obvious connections between Monarchy and Oligarchy.

The symbolism and the substance

It felt like duh.
