Talking about users posting brain farts




Agreed Aus is a damn nice place, I have to say that I met the nicest people out in the countryside. I never stayed in the big cities unless passing through though.

wdym? if you actually got rid of them it's be a MASSIVE net gain. the brits don't want that, and that's their decision - but to claim that they are a financial benefit to the country is just absurd...

The question of if it's possible can be answered very easily. The answer is yes. Their right to anything in the country is a fiction. It only exists because the citizens say it does. That's how all property works. The details are irrelevant

You can take it and use the money you save to make investments in tourism. Same as every other monarchy on earth that gets tourism.

as i stated before, the only way to calculate it as a net loss is to make a plan to strip them of nearly all of their lands. in that unrealistic potential plan sure, it can be done and for the good of England.

i'd love to see the crown stripped, jewels seized, lands taken, corgis thrown into a wood chipper, etc. But im speaking in realistic expectations, not pipedream fantasies. give it 20 years, maybe Charles loses all of the luster Liz had and things change in public opinion.



here's how i interpret this conversation:

me- well its a net gain for England
you- is it tho
me-yes
you- well they can do something else then
me-sure
you-plus the queen doesnt actually own it
me-she does tho
you-well no one really owns anything
me-ok
you-and she controls the country
me-no she doesnt
you-control isnt even real unless we accept it
me-im lost

it started out as math and ended up in philosophical strawmans, im not pro monarchy and would love to torch them.

My position on this is pretty basic. All property is a social contract. The social contract says the monarchs get some property. It can be amended to abolish the monarchs and take their stuff pretty easily. They've gotten a free ride. That ends. They lose their spoils and become normal people.

Then Everything just gets repurposed for tourism.. Any amount that's lost can be pretty easily made up by just investing in tourism the same as literally every other country. You already said that the way the state can come out on top is by taking all the important stuff is the important stuff. Pretty easy

sure, it CAN be done, in the same way they COULD ban all guns in the US by the simple process of removing 2a, making all gun owners criminals.

possible and easy aren't the same thing. i recognize its possible, i wish it was easy, it isn't. they've done a great job at being beloved. they gave back the people money that was already theirs to thunderous applause.

Oh yeah it would take the public will to do so. That will isn't there yet.

So it's not gonna happen.

But it should. Monarchs should be gone from the planet

Phone hates me
