Do you think some of these institutions need to end or they dont matter? especially based on where we are in human history socially and economically also the fact that they are Legacies of terrible histories really Colonialism, Slavery Genocide , Elitism etc

countris like the UK and some European countries that already have full democracies dont really need these institutions so why do they exist even if its ceremonial...

What are your opinions of people like Queen Elizabeth still having Dominion and titles in full independent countries ?

    Saudi royal family ain't going anywhere anytime soon. They use that fear to stay in power.

    Other than them, I really don't give a ? .

    It's outdated and no one's blood is royalty. I'm surprised the citizens still go for that BS. Side note. How old is the damn Queen of England? That ? just won't die. Out here looking like a real life TWD zombie and ? .

    To Ethiopians at home and abroad: you must restore your monarchy.

    The socialist democracy illusion is choking you Africans to death just like communism killed you.....

    The kingdoms of this world and the gentile people in them do not care for your people or your human rights.....

    You were the glory and hope of Africa (greater Ethiopia) and because you abandoned Haile Selassie I and His Davidic Monarchy, we now have thousands of Hebrews practically enslaved by Saudi Arabians, scores of them wasting away in poverty and death in Israel, and Hebrews are being taken captive by wicked Bedouinsto be used like stock animals.

    And the Hebrew Christian people of the So-Youdan (‘Land of Yudah’ AKA Sudan) have been butchered and spilled out across the globe to rot in racist gentile cultures and lose any trace of their ancestry and divine inheritance – the Lands of Africa........

    You rejected your history and your ? and your King because you want iPods, Coca Cola and McDonalds restaurants in Africa? What do you want, the West? It is death and if you want it you will die in the Western underworld the Egyptians called the ‘Duat’.

    Unnecessary and indifferent. It ain't us so idrc at the end of the day....however any country that has monarchs and the "rulers" arent apart of the everyday politics, you need to go. Ain't no point in being the king/queen when you ain't in charge.

    That statement is so trash hate when people use it. If they was gone people will still visit Buckingham palace. In fact probably generate more money by opening it up more for tours.

    Most of those monarchs - especially the UK 'royal family' - have no real power, anyway. It's just a waste.

    Hell yeah, disgusting.

    That wasn't to say I like the idea of a "royal family" and all the ? worship of them that seems to go on.
