LIBERTY - PROGRESSION - DEMOCRACY.
A feudal shadow looms over our Country: The archaic and seemingly insurmountable 'Royal Family'. A token of our heritage and tradition. They attract tourism - They pose as a symbol of National pride - They unify the British public... Or so we are led to believe?
An ocean of blood has been shed in the name of liberty and democracy - Yet seldom do we question the existence of these decadent, untouchable figures who intrinsically symbolise the opposite.
The Royal Family represent elitism, inequality and injustice - They are a family of human beings, not unlike any other; They breathe, they sweat, they smile. They probably laugh too.
YET... the taxpayer has no choice but to feed this abhorrent, antedeluvian system, whereby a family of inbred strangers pursue a life of endless luxury and gratuitous wealth - They live in Palaces - They are gated from the rest of the community - They are guarded - They are ubiquitous, appearing on all British currency - And most significant of all... they are positioned at the very top of society.
Their existence perpetuates class struggle, and breeds a colossal monetary divide. All the while we treat a select group of individuals as more worthy, valuable and important than any other, we will invariably face enduring problems.
In response, there are those that say: 'Do you not love your Country?' - In a frail attempt to make themselves feel all the more patriotic. To that I say this... Yes.
Being British has nothing to do with worshipping a family, who play no part in shaping our future. Being British is a feeling of national identity; an infinite admiration for our culture and its people. If the Royal Family were dismantled would that be the end of Great Britain? No.
Whenever one hears the national anthem, it's difficult not to plummet into mass embitterment, due to its content - The words do nothing to enlighten the soul, instead simply draw attention to one idle figure.
Alas, it's lucid enough to fathom that the Royal Family aren't themselves bad people. They conduct themselves in a very humble, affable and gracious capacity. However, could they act any other way?
Needless to say, the French went about dismantling their Royal Family in a very barbaric and unsavoury manner (to say the least) however at least they did something...
Therefore, as a progressive people, it is our duty to question ALL that we see as WRONG, and protect all that we know is RIGHT. After all, boundaries are but the beginnings of progression.
De omnibus dubitandum.
