We need to talk about how the British Monarchy is a living, breathing monument to white supremacy and how the Right there and in America use mythologies of exceptionalism to hide their blatant, murderous oppression.

The British and American empires were constructed on slave labor and the militarized exploitation and destruction of the cultures of people of color. The violent reaction to this unassailable fact being pointed out only proves how brittle the lie really is.
Jokes like Ben Shapiro are already using the Allies fighting the Nazis as cover for the fact America and Britain both contributed to fascist and Nazi philosophy and the logistics of their genocidal project. It’s a fairytale that hides a bloody history of oppression.
It’s also necessary to mention the relationship between the Royals and Trump, sideshow spectacles who did nothing to earn their wealth or power whose very purpose for existing is pompous, absurd nostalgia for past glory of empire and unhindered white supremacy.
America and Britain are linked in the operation of and profit from white supremacy in building empires and oppressive systems. Watching the Right defend our shared stains of racism and oppression should tell you everything you need to know about who they are.
The desire, here and in Britain, is to wind back the gains of liberal democracy to a past where white supremacy could be protected by unimpaired violence and widespread intimidation. If we’re going to escape this crisis, we have to recognize that that is the ultimate goal.
