The Queen is Finally Dead at 96
I begin this article with a sigh of relief, with thoughts in the back of my mind. "What took her so long? What gave her the right to exist among us for so long?" People like her live to 96, but Titans like Thomas Sankara are forcefully taken away from us at 21. Where is the fairness?
So are we supposed to be pretend to be sad about the death of a colonizer, war criminal, oppressor and pedophile defender? You shouldn't expect descendents of the colonized to publicly mourn the death of the figurehead that kept a boot on our necks.
But for millions of people who lived through and still suffer the consequences of the Royal Family’s brutal colonialism and racism both abroad and in the U.K., the Queen’s legacy will live on in the form of the violent and lasting rule that the Royal Family has overseen and still profits from.
Queen Elizabeth had an estimated net worth of $500,000,000 plus holdings and estates worth an about $25,000,000,000, in 2019.
This includes Buckingham Palace, worth over $1 billion, and Balmoral Castle, worth nearly $70 million.
Like let's be serious...nobody sane will mourn the death of a 96 year old racist colonizer who basically was just a living symbol of years of loot by British empire...all over the world. It's always ethical to shitpost about the death of a genocidal colonizer
Do not mourn this woman. Instead look at it as the passing of a disgusting era. You not being sensitive to the plight of the colonized is a much bigger issue.
Let us take this day rejoice the death of a literal colonizer, imperialist and monarch. While we reflect on the damage she caused upon our home planet.
The monarchy has remained largely silent on the history of racism in Britain and how the royal family has benefited from racism and colonialism.
She died doing what she loved, hoarding resources

The Begining of the End of the Monarchy.
England has not forgotten about how dirty you did Diana. How does the Monarchy survive without the Queen? It's simple. It cannot.
The queen’s death will highlight two things: first, her power as a symbol for the British people; second, that the wheels of the state will continue turning without her. Charles now inherits a title and lands. He will grant his leave for new governments to form after the next election. But it will be done in the shadow of his mother and with the knowledge that what acts he takes are all, in a sense, playacting. The crown and scepter will be costuming, allowing him to uphold the illusion that the monarchy still has a role to play in a modern constitutional republic.
The head of state of Britian is now King Charles III. After decades as the longest monarch-in-waiting, Charles is now king of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth nations following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The monarchy is more a point of nostalgic pride than actual necessity. Charles, or more likely William, may yet find themselves presiding over a newfound surge of devotion to the Crown. But it is all the more likely, and better, in my view, that Elizabeth II be viewed in history as the last of the British monarchs to have any real claim of ruling the British people
The Slave Trade
The Queen’s distant predecessor, Elizabeth I, was integral to establishing the British slave trade. One of the founders of the trade in the 16th century, Sir John Hawkins, impressed Elizabeth by capturing 300 Africans. His biographer Harry Kelsey calls him “Queen Elizabeth’s Slave Trader” and notes that she contributed her ship, Jesus of Lubeck to his next voyage in 1564. In 2018, Prince Charles denounced Britain’s role in the slave trade as an “atrocity” but there have been calls for the Queen also to apologise on behalf of the monarchy. Republican campaigner Graham Smith has led the charge noting that the current royals “are sitting on a hugely significant amount which was acquired from slavery and empire”.
POP ONE FOR PRINCESS DIANA!!

A Colonial mindset
The British empire contracted after the World Wars and eventually dissolved in 1960s. Nevertheless, a colonial mindset has persisted. This has been regularly demonstrated by the casual racism of Prince Philip. Visiting Australia in 2002, he asked an Aboriginal Australian if they were “still throwing spears”.
In 1999, he mused that an old-fashioned fuse box must have been “put in by an Indian”. In 1986, he warned British students in China that they would become “slitty-eyed” if they stayed too long. Australia, China, and India, are just three of dozens of countries touched by British colonisation.
While the Prince’s comments — and many others — are often dismissed as “gaffes” or poor jokes, they tie into a culture war, suggesting colonialism was ultimately a net good and Britain was spreading civilisation throughout the world.
The World Celebrates
Translation
The shitty old woman died, finished for a good time, strong applause for satan who took her, is no longer here, the old woman died, the english are scared, shitty old woman, this british rubbish, this filth this garbage left planet earth and it's good news for everyone, finally there was a good thing in life
Let's toast a little bit to the death of the garbage that reigned in england
The son of a bitch of the husband had already died and we are commemorating the death of every english who participates in this filthy crown, pirate, thief, genocidal, assassin
That was a torment
This girl who loved Hitler and made his salute, the protocol is now being made for the remains of this filthy that should be quartered and taken to all corners colonized by this filthy monarchy
Conclusion
As a society, Britain is having a difficult national conversation about its imperial past. Statues of slave owners are being torn down and attempts to decolonise the curriculum are gathering pace.
Today is a happy day! i'd put a stake through her heart and garlic 'round her neck to make sure she never comes back
