King Charles III marks Air India tragedy at Trooping the Colour

Queen Elizabeth II served in the armed forces. Not one Trump can make a similar claim.

For sure.

And got her stupid birthday parades, didn't she?

In America we protest that shit.

Are you literally defending it?
 
Exactly.

And in England and Canada and France they don't even protest these parades; that's what makes America so ****ing awesome. We take to the streets when they pull this shit.

Literally Canadians are on here defending birthday parades for Kings. Love that United States protests this shit.
 
Allan said:
Yup.

Nope.

I don't care what other countries do for their monarchs. I think all the Europeans do some sort of celebration. Don't care.

Of course you don't. Canada loves that shit.

In the United States, we ****ing care. We protest that shit! It's awesome.

You clearly don't understand the British monarchy.

Americans do not understand, for sure.

Do they not like being protested?

Or are they super special and deserving of authoritarian military birthday parades?

Why don't their subjects protest these displays of autocracy? Americans would.

I know you think you're very clever (you really aren't), but Charles III is an actual king of an actual monarchy. What America rebelled against, and what Donald Trump is cosplaying as.

You protest what exactly?

Leaders who throw military parades for their birthdays.

And leaders that act like kings.

Exactly. People in the United States protest this shit.

Which is ****ing awesome.

Other countries let their leaders throw military parades for their birthday, and don't say a damn thing. Which is how autocracy spreads.

Except that the seven European countries that have military ceremonies for their monarchs all have higher EIU rankings for their democracies than the US.

Protest harder.

No need to try harder. We already protest that shit.

Not every country would, as you pointed out - it's one of the many things that makes America so ****ing awesome.

We don't put up with authoritarians throwing themselves birthday parades.

Not sure why you defend people who do? What is your argument for having a king who makes the military throw a birthday parade for him?

Canada doesn’t have a parade for the King's birthday.

Canada's king throws himself a parade every year for his birthday.

Canada doesn't protest.

Authoritarianism is spreading.

America protests.
