The people who loathe the Royal family,
especially those on the left or the woke, loathe what the Royals stand for.
Specifically it is tradition and its timeless values along with a realistic
view of history that they loathe and want to deny and abolish. Tradition is
what the woke want to tear asunder so they can usher in their brave new utopian
world vision, a vision that is, despite all protestations to the contrary,
actually far more dehumanising, chaotic, immoral, oppressive, brutal, and
authoritarian than its proponents realise or would like to admit.
The
loathing of the Royals and the nitpicking and obsession with the flaws of its
individual members undermines our ability to understand the role and value of
the monarchy. The Royal family, despite any of its particular
individuals' failings, stands as a symbol. This symbol is one that is
desperately needed in today's modern world of societies floating adrift without
anchors to the hallowed values and wisdom of the many centuries past. The
monarchy reminds us that not everything old should be discarded or devalued.
The monarchy remind us that the civilisation we benefit from did not just
appear in the last two minutes, but is a culmination of many generations of
people, nations, and cultures.
Moreover,
the modern monarchy, on balance, is more of a force for good than the
opposite. There are many virtues it symbolises and teaches us and that we
can learn from.
The Queen
Elizabeth II was a uniter, not a divider. Nary a person can actually recall the
Queen publicly expressing a stance or opinion on any political matters
over her long seventy year reign. She met with scores of the politically
connected, and surely discussed a range of matters with them, however, she rose
above politics and connected with everyone on a human level. The Queen was the
ultimate influencer.
The Queen never dressed or behaved in an
immodest manner. Always dignified, elegant, yet not stuffy or stiff, she stood
as an excellent example of modest womanhood. Her modesty did not detract from
her powerful presence or influence, in fact it enhanced it, as it garnered
respect for her as a person of worth. She stood as a much needed reminder of
the long lost time honoured tradition of what it means to be a 'lady'.
The Prime
Ministers were all compelled to meet with and report regularly to the Queen and
will now do the same with King Charles III. Knowing they have to be answerable
on some level to the monarchy serves a a mechanism to keep Prime Ministers from
roaming too far off the reservation, to keep in line, as they are not just
answerable to themselves but to the monarchy, which represents the
nation. Imagine if we in the Western democracies had leaders that were
reminded that they are answerable to the nation, its history and culture, as it
appears they feel they are answerable to no one.
The
monarchy as a whole contributes enormously to charities. In fact, charity work
is what the Royal family members spend most of their working time on,
supporting literally thousands of worthy causes that would crumble without
their support. Furthermore, while the Royals live in lavish luxury, the
financial windfall to Britain from the tourism dollars the monarchy brings in
far outweighs their expenses.
Moreover,
the monarchy brings a great sense of national pride and patriotism to the
nation, qualities that counteract the scourge of Globalism which seeks to
eradicate all nationalisms to be replaced with their communistic
internationalist vision.
Last but
not least, let's not forget the tremendous revenue the Royal family earns for
the media and the tabloids.
