@@kamiman448 You mean the empire that pressured itself and other nations to ban slavery? The forefront in banning slavery to the point of going to wars/sanctions to African/eastern empires who couldn't think of any other economies that relied on slavery (due to geography) Pressuring Spain/France to do the same The empire that fought Nazis? The empire that gave a better standard of living compared to the era before colonization? The empire that never made a dime in African colonies? (Actual statistical data showed that 0 colonizers made money in Africa, only that they transplanted its culture/skipped some steps in the technological/infrastructure ladder) And She wasn't a queen for all those. And Monarchy lost its main powers long-before she was queen. It's mostly ceremonial by the time she "ruled" What's soulless/stupid is people forgetting history/believing made up narratives of the past. Forgetting that colonialism/slavery isn't a white/British thing. (It looked that way cuz the West had better technologies/markets INDEPENDENT of their colonies. You can fact-check this further. My source is Thomas Sowell) But freeing slaves/liberating people is exactly why the British/Americans are viewed more better compared to Ottomon/Japanese/Chinese empires. Her father has always shown in everyday clothes/suits instead of royalty This could be propaganda sure, but that's why they were loved by the people back then and now. The Americans colonized my country for almost 50 years. But the side effects (intended or not) - justified conquering parts of mindanao/sulu (part of Philippines) over slavery. Essentially liberating slaves - 99% of our citizens today can speak English hence OFW's saved our country from numerous economic downturns. - promised to return independence after 10 years of guided history (2 election cycles) Do you know the candidates/parties? 1. Emilio Aguinaldo, our actual first president who assassinated his uneducated rival but father of the revolution, and also might've been also the assassination behind his best general over fears of being outshined/uncontrollable general 2. Manuel L. Quezon, american friendly. Eventually winning and saved 2,000 jewish refugees during ww2 3. Some party backed by imperial Japan who wanted independence now. No more 10 years of waiting. Manuel quezon won which meant avoiding a probable dictatorship (unlike some countries) And then pearl harbor happened around 4-6 years later. Asians oppressing other asians I even saw An American war film encouraging its soldiers/masses to liberate Philippines before or at the 10th year. As it is their promise and intended to keep it. Every country has massacres/atrocities, but it was the white guilt/conscience that made them different and outstanding compared to others and our own. My country just voted for a son of a dictator despite the obvious misinformation/lies. I mean if that's the endpoint, what did our heroes die for? Ie, HK probably wouldn't mind colonial rule if said rule meant they could post memes/criticize Britain compared to whatever they have now. I, a Filipino, feel the same. Colonize us all you want. Just protect our fundamental freedoms (and historically. The British/Americans always protected fundamental freedoms over their subjects)

That’s a bit ignorant. The Royal Family have never denied the darker side of British history. Equally, people wilfully forget the positive and the brighter side of British history-its fundamental role in modelling the world today; the freedoms, principles and democratic values we live by and often take for granted. Queen Elizabeth II nor King Charles III have had any involvement in the Empire. Queen Elizabeth II publicly called for decolonisation and was fully in support of the UN Charter resolution in 1947. She has stood for the same values promoting peace and unity her entire life. I think you ought to watch King Charles III speech in Barbados last year when they chose to become a republic. By all means, have your opinion, but at least make it an educated one. Queen Elizabeth II has been a force for peace, tolerance and unity her entire life. She’s the reason Germany and Great Britain were able to reconcile post-war; she committed herself to turning political enemies into allies, through foreign policy not driven by politics. Loved by all on the political compass, a symbolic head of state politically unaligned.

​@@Zrs3820 Go read the actual history. You've been fed a pack of lies. Churchill did everything in his power to prevent the famine, begging Roosevelt to lend ships so he could ship grain from Australia to India. Roosevelt, unfortunately, could not spare the ships. Most of the causes of the famine were to do with native mismanagement, and the fact that the Japanese were bearing down on India. Indeed, previously India has relied on rice imports from Burma. When the Japanese captured Burma, the rice imports stopped. That's the primary cause of the famine. There was also a cyclone in the region. Churchill actually broke the famine by appointing as Viceroy Field Marshal Wavell, who mobilized the military to transport food and aid to the stricken regions (something that hadn’t occurred to anyone, apparently). No serious historian who has examined the primary documents could conclude Churchill wished for the Indians to starve. Hence why Nehru considered Churchill a dear friend of India following decolonisation.

Most of the Irish I know, who have lived through The Troubles have some respect for the Queen. My parents and grandparents obviously were around for it also liked The Queen. She even came to Ireland in 2011 as a way of bridging the peace between Ireland and the UK, paid respects to those who had fallen over our past history and even spoke our native language. That was a moment of history in itself and while some people had their reservations, a lot of the Irish gave her a very warm welcome and appreciated her efforts While I am no fan of The Royal Family or The Monarch myself and I don’t stand for some of the stuff they did based on what I have read in the past, I am still able to separate the Lady from the institution and show some respect so I offer my condolences to all the people of the UK and May Queen Elizabeth II rest in peace.

Brett’s comments about the leftists making this all about themselves reminds me of a comic strip which begins with a lady saying: “As an online activist, it’s my job raise awareness about important things.” The guy sitting next to her then replies: “I see … so without you, what important things would people be unaware of?” To which, the woman answers: “Well … me.”

[@levendil14]

As a Canadian, the respect you show for the Queen, who has lived a life of public service is appreciated. You can dislike the British Crown for a number of reasons, but the Queen has lived a life of service, her life was about giving to others what she could, she is what monarch's are at their best, and she should be respected.

[@trala8911]

In his book “War Doctor”, Dr David Nott recalls being invited to a royal event just after coming back from working as a volunteer civilian doctor in an active war zone. The Queen asked him about how it had been, and he immediately began to panic and fall apart. Seeing what was happening, she called one of her staff over and whispered something in his ear, and he reappered with a small box. The Queen sat the doctor down, called her Corgis over and handed him what turned out to be a box containing dog treats. She remarked something along the lines of that sometimes it was nicer than talking. Dr Nott said it was a remarkable act of compassion and understanding from one survivor of war, to another.

By the way Brett, when that lady said "republican" she might've also been referring to Republicans in Australia who took advantage of the Queen's death to try and promote their agenda of turning Australia into a republic. Daisy Cousens has a great article on that whole situation on Sky News.

Australia is already a republic/democracy, the Queen and now King holds no power over Australian politics… So it makes no sense to me as why there’d be a ‘republican’ movement in Australia. I guess a symbolic gesture…?

Pretty sure others have mentioned this, but the post making a comment towards "Republicans" is using the literal terminology. As in, being monarch-free. Anti-monarchists are generally considered to be republican. I've also taken note that even if they are anti-monarchist, they aren't necessarily anti-Elizabeth II

[@The_AndroidSentByCyberlife]

As a British person, the Queen was nothing more than an inspiration and kind kind woman. The woman was not only the queen, she was a person, she was more human than most leftists. She loved her family and her death is nothing to be happy about except for the fact that she is finally back with her husband. God bless the Queen

[@TengouX]

Being more human than most leftists is easy. Serving your country faithfully with class and decency for 75 years is far harder. No 21-year-old today could make such a vow and adhere to it for life. Regardless of one's personal feelings about the royal family (and King Charles, especially), I can only respect her legacy.

Yup - or more likely of Celtic heritage and living in the UK - the welsh/irish/scottish have strong feelings involved with it.

Filipino here, and apparently, a part of a colonized and oppressed group of people according to leftists, and I think Queen Elizabeth is a very respectable and outstanding woman. She's a prominent figure of England that has seen a lot of change throughout recent history. Some were good, and some were bad. Regardless if someone hates her or dislikes her political beliefs, she still deserves to be respected forever as a queen.

[@manuelfredpangco5744]

Another Filipino here these people don’t know what basic human decency is. Also these people are seriously comparing the queen to hitler. It is basic common knowledge that hitler is a terrible person. All of the terrible things that the British did was before her era. These people seriously think she is 300 years old.

Indian here and although i personally don't really feel anything at all about her death, you'd never find me go out of my way to insult her legacy or demean her.

[@teutonicterror0365]

bro, you do know, that the Phillipines were colonised by the spanish and later the US, not the british, do you? Besides, what you think is pretty irrelevant, what´s relevant are facts, and those facts say, that she quietly watched her nation slaughter thousands of innocent people, benefitted hugely of colonial exploitation, protected the r*pist asshole Andrew and did a bunch of other things that aren´t just "bad" but pretty terrible. She could´ve condemned the british wars against independence movements, she could´ve given back all of the royals family stolen wealth, she could´ve stopped to freeload on millions of taxpayer money every year (paid by taxpayers who couldn´t vote for or against her), she could´ve shown some decency when Diana died, she could´ve thrown andrew out of her house, If she would´ve done any of that, maybe I would respect her. But no, she did none of that, so why bloody hell should we respect her? Because she was an ok mother, became so old and did such a hard and backbreaking job? Fuck no

The United Kingdom is mourning her death and we’re hurting right now, I’m very happy that majority of westerners are joining in the mourning of the death of her majesty and Im thankful for the Majority of normal people being respectful. Let’s all take this moment to double down on looking at how we should act and behave to each other, living through Christ and living a life of service to others with love and respect. She was an example to us all.
