[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anger is at the position largely - not necessarily the person.  It is legitimate to object to the glorification of the british crown which is what alot of the media coverage and social media posts are doing.

Elizabeth the private person is largely unknown.  People are not picking on her "personally"  they are objecting to the undiluted praise of a role that is very problematic historically

People have the right to be uncomfortable with that for many reasons[/quote]

The role of the US Presidency is equally problematic and — recently — has been far worse than the UK.  You better start cancelling every US President since George Washington whose land came from Lord Fairfax, a Brit [/quote]

Who said anything about cancelling Elizabeth?  I think more people are saying as Americans she's not our queen, we don't have a royal family and why are so many people so obsessed with her when the British empire had a pretty negative impact on alot of places where current Americans came from.  No one is talking about "cancelling" her - just looking for some nuance in the ridiculous canonization that's going on right now[/quote]

I said nothing about cancelling Queen Elizabeth. I said cancelling George Washington.  But I do want to canonize Queen Elizabeth [/quote]
