    I mean, yeah, and I wouldn’t blame the current victims of those atrocities for protesting.

        I get what you’re saying, but you have to understand the difference between a middle-class worker versus a literal king and queen. I’m very aware of the opportunities I’ve been given thanks to where and when I was born, but in terms of actual tramsferrable wealth, all I really have to give is a 20 year old Honda.

          I agree there’s a difference, but my issue is with the principle of it. We are not and should not be responsible for the sins of our ancestors, only ourselves. If there is a sin in royal twats being rich, it is that they are rich while others suffer; not that the person who nutted in their grandmother was rich due to war crimes and genocide.
