Uh I'm not being fashionable. It's actually how I feel, funnily enough. What would be fashionable is to be cheering them on since they're all over the bloody tv/radio/media. I just genuinely don't give a fuck or believe in their relevancy to the country I inhabit.

The monarchy is just entertainment and celebrity these days. Do they actually still have political relevance these days? If I want to see a king, I wanna see him on a horse, wielding a broadsword.

I know right. I didnt buy any magazine today because of them, they are on every cover. Again, we dont care! I dont get what's so newsworthy about these celebs' kids. It's nice they had a healthy baby & stuff, but some of us dont want to bored with the details about how much he weighed, how many times he breastfeeds...and...and.
EXACTLY lolol! I'm glad it's a healthy baby, 'nuff said. Aside from that babies really are not that bloody exciting!click to expand

whatever your origins may bewhatever your societal background - you will have grown up in a certain hierarchy or order
i??m trying to say that hierarchies are not such a bad thing ....

Well, I WILL say this...
My Grandfather REALLY was one of the last of the "Royal Bloodline" Chiefs of my tribe.
However, such titles are no longer recognized by the US. - I am NOT making that up or
BS'ing anyone. That's the truth. I carry the mantle now. But because of US politics and treaties
and broken promises. It's just in spirit with more homage to my Grandfather, than anything to
do with the tribe.
I think that is why I am interested and compelled to honor the birth of the Royal Baby, in my own way.
Like it were a "spiritual" thing. A connection, in some way.
My Grandson will inherit the name and mantle of Chief.
Are you eligible for grants in the Native American community? I hear they sponsor their lineage as long as they have more than 1/8th NA blood within them.click to expand

That's pretty much what happened to my godmother's family, Firebird. Three daughters but they are all on the 1/16th scale and missed the cut. I heard it from my godmother but haven't looked into it myself to know what I'm talking about.

here is the rest of the quote:
"consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.

Tied to Israel? Now that is interesting. I consider Palestine/Israel to be pretty much the centre of the world spiritually. There are many books about how the conflict today gives birth to a lot of how we process thoughts through music and media.
Having ties to that region would be great. I love history and studying it. Tracing it back.

Then you understand. I want to tell my tribe that they risk the chance of extinction by ignoring their
mixed race brothers and sisters. 100+ years ago, they had taken the children, my Grandfather, included, and taught them the way of the white man and basically brainwashed them from their former ways. My Grandfather did not want his children learning the language, the ways and customs of the nations.
It was his opinion that we live in the white man's world, we must live the white man's way.
The "white" man is basically the US Government and, of course the way the white man conducts himself
in accordance to law and culture. This was the "assimilating" that was expected of those who had been
sent to the boarding schools. In hindsight, it was a wise thing to do but not without sacrifice.
For me, I feel the war between the white man and the red man. - It is ingrained in my spirit as if my
spirit is torn asunder. - Hard to explain. It's like I understand both sides of war and race, whereas a full blood from either side could not.
Yeah I understand some of that, even from where I am coming from. I have no NA blood in me. I am mixed race though. And a larger percentage of my family is from black origin. And even larger part of that in my father's generation. It's like living under the wire in some respects because we were both very albino-looking comparatively. So we'll have people make comments about race right in front of us but not actually realize the significance (to us) of what they're saying or their views.
It can be eye-opening at times and other times just too confusing to think about it.
As far as the NA angle goes, not to trivialize it by talking about a TV series but honestly there was an excellent episode from Quantum Leap - really old series by now from the 80s/90s on this very issue. It made me think a lot. That show was excellently written.click to expand

Liberalism - that philosophy that says you can do whatever you want and not be held accountable and we will fight for you when you get in trouble. - The reality is, that's just not so. - A lot of double-speak and forked tongue talk, dual meaning.
Exactly. Irrespective of race, democracy is a nice idea on paper. In practice there's a lot that needs to go back to the drawing board or just give way to hierarchy that actually works.click to expand
