somehow that last av was even worse than your posting

Jedit posted:

Diana was the worst oval office of the lot of them. A scheming, backbiting bitch who positioned herself to nab a prince then hosed anything in trousers because he had the bad taste to remain in love with the woman he actually wanted to marry. That was the galling bit for her, I think; she didn't really care if Charles loved her as long as she got to be a princess, but damned if he was going to love anyone else. But she played the media like a fiddle to paint herself as a martyr; then she got killed while being chased by the paps whose attention she'd courted relentlessly - not some conspiracy set up by Brenda, come the gently caress on people - and she became an untouchable saint. I'm shocked and surprised to see anyone here falling for it, though. I'd thought we had a higher level of media awareness in the UKMT.

That said, Kate Middleton might be worse just because she was totally open about what she was doing and unlike her late mother-in-law, doesn't appear to have any limits to what she'll tolerate to be a royal. Bad as Diana was, Charles was wrong to have an affair with Camilla - she was married when it started even if he wasn't - and Diana was at least willing to give up the palaces and position over it, even if she did manage to style herself as "the People's Princess". Kate's also racist as gently caress. Diana probably was too, but again she kept it quiet.

Calm down Philip

Charities aiding with mobility etc. being called invictus isn't a stain against them - the word literally just means "undefeated" which in this case is about not letting the lack of an arm or leg defeat you.

Thinking about it, "biological bodies" is probably why they were so worked up about

even though the 1970s radical feminists loved all of that in a sci-fi sense, because finally their political lesbian separatism could exist without men.

The big break between RFs and GCs is that the latter are fully onboard with the white evangelical reactionaries that your natural biological self is your destiny and any attempt to change that is evil (and Charles Darwin is evil too, I would have never done that to the monkey if it weren't for his influence).

Which is probably also why it slots so easily into antisemitic Doctors' Plot type conspiracies.
yeah, there's a strain of GC that believes, what's the phrase, "transgender is the advertisement for transhumanism", courtesy of nutjob conspiracy theorist and Deep Green Resistance crypto-ecofascist GC thinker Jennifer Bilek who thinks the trans rights movement started in the mid-2000s funded by several (coincidentally Jewish) billionaires / millionaires as a means to push The Transhumanist Agenda, a full-on Great Replacement narrative but targetting cis women (sorry, ~natal women~) who would no longer be required for reproduction

Bilek's not 'crypto' (unless she's into Bitcoin, which seems plausible) - she's been caught openly boosting Nazis.

A lot of the time I think it's just people googling and finding out about transhumanism by mistake and then conflating the concepts.

I could go into detail, but to boil it down: the royals are what they are. They're born to it, raised to it. You think they're cunts, that's fine. But around them there is a second layer of "nobility" who jockey for position and aspire to take that step up whenever there's an available heir, selling off their daughters for a little prestige. That second layer are far worse than the royals themselves because they want to be cunts and they actively try to become cunts.

This is like the AIDS version of the great man theory of history. You might as well say Magic Johnson changed a lot about AIDS stigma by contracting it himself. Thousands of people around the world worked tirelessly to research or mitigate AIDS or to alleviate the suffering of patients, when noone even knew what it was.

Right but such a hugely visible public figure as Diana gave those thousands of people working tirelessly a very prominent example to point to. The two very much play into each other.
