BIZARRE REVELATIONS FROM PRINCE HARRY’S NEW BOOK

Prince Harry’s newly released tell-all memoir is sending shockwaves through the Royal Family, painting a picture of a Family at odds with both Himself and Meghan. Here are some of the more bizarre claims made in the new book 🧵 Image
HARRY: CHARLES HAD HABIT OF “ACTING LIKE ROYALTY” - WHICH MADE CONNECTING WITH “DAD” EMOTIONALLY DIFFICULT

Harry had trouble connecting with his father. Often, at events or parades, he would approach the now King to discuss Diana, to be met with orders to “be quiet” or “shut up” ImageImage
“TOXIC CULTURE OF PRIVILEGE” AT PALACE - LATE QUEEN SNIFFED MEGHAN “UP AND DOWN LIKE A DOG” ON FIRST MEETING HER

Harry calls out Royal “sense of entitlement”. In one bizarre incident on first meeting Meghan, the Late Queen sniffed her “at the neck”. “Nobody around said anything” ImageImage
WILLIAM AND KATE “TRICKED” HARRY INTO WEARING NAZI UNIFORM “NO LESS THAN 7 TIMES”

William and Kate allegedly encouraged Harry to wear a Nazi uniform on no less than 7 occasions, telling him it would be “massively funny,” and to “get really into it,” which he duly did “to fit in” ImageImage
HARRY IN BIZARRE CLAIM DIANA BOUGHT HARRY NINTENDO WII, NETFLIX SUBSCRIPTION

In the Book, Harry speaks fondly of his mother, the Late Princess of Wales. He claims, bizarrely, she bought him a Wii and Netflix, which is impossible as they both released a decade after her death ImageImage
LATE DUKE OF EDINBURGH MADE RACIST COMMENTS ABOUT MEGHAN, TEASED HARRY ABOUT ‘JUNGLE FEVER’

Allegedly, Prince Philip would forget Meghan’s name and call her the ‘Bingbong Girl’. In private he teased Harry and told him he “fumbled around with a few Spear Chuckers in his time too” ImageImage
HARRY AGREED TO DATE WITH MEGHAN BECAUSE HE THOUGHT SHE WAS SAME PERSON AS AVATAR ACTRESS ZOE SALDANA

Harry began dating Meghan because he thought she was Zoe Saldana, who starred as ‘Neytiri’ in James Cameron’s Hit Movie ‘Avatar’, who Harry describes watching as “really erotic” ImageImage
HARRY: “NO PATH TO PEACE IN SYRIA WHILE ASSAD STILL LEADS”

In a bizarre digression, Harry devotes some 15 pages of the new book to his thoughts on the Syrian Conflict, concluding “Assad is a butcher” who “simply has to go. There can’t be a lasting peace with him still in charge” ImageImage
“OUT-OF-TOUCH” CAMILLA, AND TWO OTHER SENIOR ROYALS, SENT ARCHIE ‘GOLLIWOG’ TOYS

In an attempt to broker peace after Harry’s estrangement from the Royals on the birth of his son, Camilla, and two other nameless “Senior Royals”, sent him a hamper of presents - including Golliwogs ImageImage
CAMILLA WOULD HISS UNCONTROLLABLY AT MENTION OF DIANA, GOAD HARRY WITH TUNNEL-THEMED PUNS

Harry claims the now Queen Consort has an uncontrollable tic where she hisses at the mention of Diana. She often made jokes to Harry about ‘tunnelvision’ or ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ ImageImage
PRINCE HARRY WOULD HAVE “VIGOROUS WANK” WHENEVER HE KILLED SOMEONE - BUT MEGHAN SHOWED HIM “ERROR OF HIS WAYS”

To relieve tension everytime he killed a man in the army, Harry would escape to a toilet to “masturbate”. He had no idea this was problematic until “Meghan taught him” ImageImage

WHAT IS ‘STAR TREK LIBERALISM’?

When you encounter the worst excesses of the present-day dispensation (‘Gay Race Communism’ some call it) it is easy to imagine that the ideology is, in its various manifestations, motivated by resentful sentiment. In many cases it is, for sure, but it is a mistake to think it is always like this in its conception. The material consequences of the ideology are, if you are being precise, a confluence of multiple competing aesthetic and moral visions

In this sense, is interesting to ask why it has taken root so deeply in the Anglosphere. While there are a large number of far left sympathetic politicians, creatives etc in these countries it would be incorrect to say everyone who has ever been pro-mass migration there is far left. For a certain cohort of well-intentioned pro-mass migration ‘Anglos’ it is more correct to say that their actual ideology is ‘in their heads’ something closer to a utopian ‘Star Trek Liberalism’ rather than a more sinister ‘Gay Race Communism’

There is a good ‘Bronze Age Pervert’ line that what ‘Anglos’ really want is ‘Anglos at the head of a rainbow coalition of all the races exploring space together’-ism AKA ‘Star Trek Liberalism’. Actually on a phenomenological level this is often true; this is the WEIRD Anglo disease; this is ‘just what they’re like’; in many ways this is actually what they imagine is happening in their heads when they advocate for de facto ‘Gay Race Communism’. This vision of the end telos of the ideology (which is not even really seen as an ideology, just ‘basic decency’) is a far more compelling vision than the visions presented by the nastier far left strains of it it transmogrifies into in more democratic practice (especially alongside continued demographic change). In this form ‘Star Trek Liberalism’ is quite easy to become attached to, people are often very emotional about it. When you argue against people online who defend a version of this position you will sometimes be arguing against a person who genuinely believes they are defending ‘John Lennon Globalism’

‘Star Trek Liberalism’ then is the best, most utopian version of the present-day so-called ‘Liberal’ settlement, its end telos, ‘the kind of future its advocates actually want to bring about’. You could describe it as something like ‘Highbrow Multicultural Utopianism’. Some of its advocates might describe it as ‘Humanism’. This is in essence high-functioning utopian ‘Liberalism but only for 130IQ+ Anglos’ with the assumption that everybody on Earth (and in space) is also a ‘130IQ+ Anglo’ or that they can at least be uplifted to the state of middle-class anglodom with the right kinds of education

Gene Roddenberry articulates one of the best versions of this ‘humanistic’ vision in Star Trek. At least in earlier series you have what is essentially a Colonial British Office class emulating the culture & standards of their historical predecessors but in space. They wear uniforms and went to officer school and are all preoccupied with hierarchy and honour and fairness and discovery etc etc. It is ‘Master and Commander’ except the crew are a rainbow coalition of nationalities and species. They are out together ‘exploring the Final Frontier’, overcoming problems with intelligence and resourcefulness. The original Star Trek is in this way unapologetically liberal, would be incorrect to call it woke. Modern Star Trek should grasp that ‘The Next Generation’ presents an importantly liberal utopia! Please note how much more formal and sober Starfleet command structures are presented as in the earlier series of Star Trek vs today here too

This vision of ‘Liberalism’ more broadly conceived is obviously attractive. Ofc though, when you start to open it up to the ‘tasteless flyover state masses’ it devolves into the more familiar ‘Reddit Liberalism’. In that kind of tactless, degraded state it becomes a conduit for the worst kinds of ‘GRC’, often even just folds into it completely as you see todayImage
Actually personal story a version of ‘Star Trek Liberalism’ is ‘what I actually believed’ when I was 16. One of key factors WRT how committed to it you continue to be after is really how much exposure you get to behaviour, outcomes, attitudes etc that would undermine the vision

(See also eg Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, Doctor Who, Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy etc. as sort of spiritual expressions of this sentiment.) In that kind of degraded state it really becomes a conduit for all the worst kinds of ‘GRC’ - as you see today. Aside, please note how more formal and sober the Starfleet organisational command structures are presented as in the earlier series of Star Trek vs todayImage
Other aesthetic variants of the same sentiment include ‘Utopian Scholastic’ and ‘Primary School Globalism’

You are a 130IQ+ Anglo. 135IQ WASP-coded Mark Carney appears and politely says non-patronisingly: “Let’s replace that migration restrictionist populism with star trek anglos at the head of a rainbow coalition of all races exploring space together-ism.” Can you resist his allure? Image
There was a good BAP line that what ‘Anglos’ really want is ‘Anglos at the head of a rainbow coalition of all the races exploring space together’-ism AKA ‘Star Trek Liberalism’. Actually on a phenomenological level this is true; this is the WEIRD Anglo disease; this is ‘just what they’re like’; in many ways this is actually what they imagine is happening in their heads when they de facto advocate for ‘Gay Race Communism’. Mark Carney I think has a very broad appeal for this demographic because he is a relatively intelligent, articulate and measured polite WASP-coded advocate of this ideology. Not offensive, actually endearing insofar as he gels with the natural sensibilities of the cohort. Mamdani is a weird off-putting cultural alien without much tact so is naturally going to be more offputting, provoke more resistance. Not so with Carney - the anxieties start to melt away, he is ‘one of us’. Much better to advance this ideology with Carney-type figures, it is far less offensive on a personal levelImage
Keir Starmer is too stupid and patronising to be an effective British equivalent. I find Keir Starmer deeply offensive on a personal level because his tone and approach is highly insulting to my intelligence

🇬🇧 ABOUT ‘BRITISHNESS’ AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ‘BRITISH’ TODAY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF APATHETIC LATINAS 🇬🇧

When you tell people in Latin America (also Asia etc) that you are British in most cases the only things they will know about Britain are “oh wow Harry Potter, Ed Sheeran, Bowie, Adele, the Beatles” etc. They will tell you that they want to go to London to “visit Abbey Road” and that their favourite song is ‘Let it be’, that they think David Beckham is “very handsomest” and maybe very occasionally they might even have heard of Top Gear

In most cases there is clearly a significant time delay where none of the ‘new stuff’ has reached them yet. By ‘new stuff’ I mean ‘Yookay’ of course. Went to a bar in a certain Latin American city a few months ago which was British rock band themed; as in the Who, Oasis, Led Zeppelin etc. Full of slightly swarthy guys dressed like they lived in Manchester circa 2003. Was really a remarkable sight, felt a twinge of pride. Don’t @ me with stupid ‘uh actually’ comments because you go to a ‘great bar in Bristol sometimes’ but notable ‘to a certain extent’ that this kind of authentically ‘British’ grungy-indie culture has disappeared from public life in Britain today. Where are these kinds of bands anymore? Probably maybe they exist but you don’t hear about them as much. Though the Yookay juggernaut seems to have marginalised them somewhat it isn’t as if ‘the concept’ itself is unpopular - see eg the success of the Oasis Reuinion Tour

Anyway, this is what happens; people have these preconceptions about a place and there isn’t an incentive to update them so you for your part get to be play act as a ‘Cool Britannia’ transplant, as in - Britain has the reputation it did 20 years ago, you are from the Britain of 20 years ago and in your head maybe you can pretend a little bit that you’re still living there too. This is what many ‘apathetic latinas’ think ‘Britishness’ still is. It’s a great identity leverage, works wonders - ‘00’s legacy Britishness’ is genuinely a big asset (use your imagination as to how) which is why it’s frustrating to see it being squandered back in Britain

Made a point to ask some Latinas if they knew Central Cee, Stormzy

“Who?”

Most of them knew Dua Lipa at least but she is slightly less ‘Yookay-coded’

Can’t really expect everyone the world over to be ‘up to date’ on developments in your specific country ofc - mostly people don’t really care to bother updating ‘what they know’ about some far off place they’ve never been to even if it is / was nominally one of the cooler far off places they’ve never been to. Still, for me what you notice about it is that it is ‘nice’ to have people fawn over your country and then again for an increasingly antiquated version of it that you are sometimes nostalgic for. You enjoy it. You know like a guy who has this shirtless photo he took a few years ago that he looks great in and he looks at it and goes “yeah I was so peak back then bro” but then he let himself go and nowadays he’s actually a disgusting fat slob

Knew at least three Argentinian women who moved to Camden (on their Italian passports) specifically because of that kind of Amy Winehouse alternative vibe, because they liked that kind of grungy 90s-00s Indie aesthetic. One woman, before she moved to London, the ‘Kaiser Chiefs’ had come to do a gig once in Buenos Aires and she got one of the band members to sign her arm with a marker pen, then she got a tattoo over the signature - so now she has a permanent tattoo of the guy’s signature. Actually attractive woman too. Incredible British soft power, making Leeds of all places seem glamorous, can you imagine? What is the equivalent of this today? One of them still lives in London, though she got engaged to an Italian. Another moved to Italy and the third one recently moved back to Argentina

Asked the one who moved back, “why did you move back?”

“I don’t really enjoy London as much as I used to so I just decided to go home”Image
Image
Actually it isn’t entirely true that there are no Latinas (or Asians etc.) who are ‘up to date’ on Britain as it is today. Have met some who have been there recently or have been to Europe more generally and have made a few comments to the effect of “when I went to London I just saw people from India, Arabia”. Some comments that were even more blunt, won’t repeat. You can say “come on it isn’t all like that” and you would be right but it’s the fact that they would say that to you in the first place. They tend to have far less scruples about saying these things too because it isn’t particularly taboo for them. Why would it be? ‘Britishness’ is still an asset thankfully because they are running the same ‘Cool Britannia’ script, but in that the “people from India, Arabia” are registered in their mind as ‘less authentically British’, there is that compare and contrast exercise. “Oh you had an Indian as your leader right?”

My impression is they are less inclined to perceive the ‘new stuff’ as authentically British. Not to make a value judgement here on that, just how it is perceivedImage
Solid advice if this is more your ‘aura’ Image

WHAT IS ‘ETERNAL SEPTEMBER’?

Useful term to conceptualise repetitive, asinine or low-level ‘discourse’ online, especially in formerly ‘more intelligent’ spaces experiencing a mass influx of new participants - “Eternal September”. The term originates in the early history of the internet and describes a fundamental shift in how online communities behave once they are exposed to continuous mass participation. It first emerged in the early 1990s in reference to Usenet, one of the first large-scale online discussion systems. For many years, Usenet experienced a predictable annual cycle tied to the academic calendar. Each September, new university students gained access to the internet and began posting, often unfamiliar with established norms of online conduct, known as then as ‘netiquette’. Older users would spend several weeks correcting mistakes, sharing community ‘lore’, pointing newcomers to FAQs and enforcing community standards. By October, most new users had either adapted or left and the community returned to a relatively stable equilibrium

This pattern ended in 1993 when commercial internet providers, most notably America Online, opened Usenet access to millions of subscribers. Unlike universities, these services added users continuously rather than seasonally and provided little guidance on existing norms. The influx of newcomers became constant and overwhelming, far exceeding the community’s ability to socialise them. As a result, the corrective phase never ended. September became permanent, giving rise to the phrase “Eternal September.” While the term originally referred to this specific moment in Usenet’s history, it has since become a broader metaphor for what happens when an established online culture is inundated by perpetual growth. Maybe you can think of parallels here!

At its core Eternal September describes the breakdown of shared norms under conditions of unbounded scale. Early online communities were small enough to rely on informal social enforcement. Participants recognised one another, reputations mattered, bad behavior carried social costs etc. Norms such as staying on topic, avoiding repetition and not wasting people’s time with your dumb stupid retarded priors posts were essential to keeping discussions usable. Because growth was slow and predictable, these communities could absorb newcomers without losing coherence. Eternal September marks the point at which this balance collapses - as the number and rate of new participants make informal governance (broadly-defined) ineffective

The consequences are the loss of this kind of ‘historical memory’ are both cultural and structural. As newcomers vastly outnumber long-term participants, veteran or ‘oldhead’ influence diminishes and the incentive to teach these norms erodes. (4chan used to have the motto “lurk more” for this purpose). Experienced users grow fatigued from repeating the same talking points, always making corrections etc and often disengage, taking the community’s memory and knowledge with them. Norms that once defined the place are diluted or replaced, the ‘Coca Cola Effect’ runs riot - often shifting toward simplicity and immediacy rather than depth or rigour. On social media platforms lowest common denominator influencers grow more than more reflective, intelligent influencers etc. The culture adapts to what requires the least shared context, often at the cost of quality or nuance

[1/2]Image
Although coined for Usenet, the Eternal September dynamic has recurred throughout internet history. Forums, open-source projects, collaborative platforms, social media etc. all struggled with the tension between growth and cohesion. Wikipedia, for example, though first conceived as a libertarian open project now exists in a state of continual Eternal September - with new contributors arriving daily who may be unfamiliar with its complex norms. In response, it has developed extensive rules, moderation systems and bureaucratic processes, its scale forcing communities to replace its old informal libertarian culture with formal governance. (Wikipedia is also infamously now very left-leaning please note!)

Modern social media represents, (many would say particularly on X,) Eternal September at an unprecedented scale. Entry barriers are minimal, participation is frictionless, cultural onboarding is largely nonexistent. Algorithms, rather than experienced community members, determine visibility and influence, often rewarding content that is emotionally charged or easily consumed. In this environment the perpetual influx of new users is not a problem to be solved but a design assumption. Eternal September becomes the default condition rather than an exception

Eternal September marks a turning point in internet history insofar as it symbolises the transition from small, self-regulating communities to the global mass medium it is today. Whether seen as a loss, an inevitability or a necessary phase, it broadly demonstrates conceptually that without deliberate mechanisms for governance and cultural transmission, perpetual growth inevitably transforms what a community is and how it functions. Many parallels here in real life too…
