Vive Le Republique - All anti-monarchy views/opinions/talk

After this pandemic ends, there will realistically be a lot of taking stock and a LOT of people are going to be having nervous breakdowns and will be having a lot of meltdowns and no one will be 'strong' for a long time. If there is ever a cure, realistically it will have to be handled professionally and realistically there will be a LOT of disproportionate people who will have short fuses and will be prone to lashing out. Then there will be the fact that a lot of people are going to be in a state of shock and there will be a lot of people who will first be zombified, then as more people come back to feeling again, a lot of people are going to be lashing out. Realistically as far as I can see, people will get violent, there will be people acting out in the streets and there will be a LOT of people seeking therapy and not getting it in time. Then there are medical personnel who are going to have PTSD and they will have HUGE needs of their own that need to be met. No one will want more drama and I believe that politicians will start lashing out at royals. Royals are supposed to be working to maintain stability and maintaining peace and DOING EVERYTHING they can to focus on being a support to the diplomats and politicians.

In the best of times, when there is chaos at the top, the chaotic get punished severely and get kicked out, but right now the pandemic and dissolving economy are in fact two huge loads on the politicians and now the royals are ramping up the drama. After the pandemic, a lot of people are going to need a public whipping post and politicians might deliver up the royals for a public roasting and not in a funny way. Neither royals or aristocrats are effectively pulling weight and as usual, neither royals or aristocrats are seeing that their perpetual playtime is making everyone boil. No one cares about WK's latest attempt to relive William's youth and no one wants to put up with seeing idiots get opportunities that should go to the merited. I also believe that in the post-pandemic world, royals and aristocrats are going to be downgraded socially on the totem pole of social respect and their formerly clearly defined status is something that will end as well. I believe that during the healing stage of the post-pandemic society, no one is going to have energy or patience for yet another royal either making fools of themselves at serious events or interject their own views or condescend people who were doing all the work. No one will want to put up with a condescending nobody who has nothing but a title.

Then there is the fact that everyone will be on edge. No one will want drama, or the latest brain-dead pronouncement from a celeb and a lot of people will be acting flaky. No one will want anything other than security or stability. Peace and routine. Then there is the fact that no one will be in a good mood. Or tolerant. I think for a while there will be a HUGE amount of sarcasm, insults, and there will realistically come a point when people will just plain be hateful.

Most important is the mourning period. When the time comes, it will be time for funerals, memorial services, public commemorations, and that is when it might get bad for the royals. Royals will expect the usual VIP treatment, but no one will buy their mourning expressions or much of anything else and they will not be admired and no one will believe they are sincere. There will be expectations of monuments and expectations of decent speeches and no one will want an insincere royal making speeches, or pretending to feel the pain of their little subjects. No one wants to watch royals joking on a balcony or among themselves inside and then parading outside looking solemn and pretending to care. No one will want to defer to anyone except medical personnel and it is clear to me that there is no point to pretending that royals made any contributions in that area. No one wants to pretend that Maxima made a difference and no one wants to pretend that William even cares. No one will want to watch the William;Kate;Middleton family jamboree or put up with what William has to say about his kids. No one wants to hear him make a joke or mention his long dead mother and put up with the idiocy that is Meg/Harry or hear about how the 'young hot royals' are struggling to cope.
