So it’s fine if I murder your family and take everything your children have so that my children can live in luxury?
In the US, mobsters kill with impunity while their family gets reality TV (Mob wives) showing off their life of luxury. The “children are innocent of their parents crimes” is unjust because the victims’ children suffer.
The King is the child of a mobster. His luxury life came from violence. Your children will have to work their entire lives in part because of what the King’s ancestors stole from them.
The danish monarchy is so old that this is so far in the past that it literally does not matter any more. A couple of generations, sure. 1000 years of generations? Nobody cares and I don’t think it’s reasonable to blame anyone for crimes made by ancestors that far in the past. It’s not like we blame me for my ancestors (vikings) pillaging of Englang and other horrible things they did.
Lots of people where profiting from slave trade 200 years ago and we don’t prosecute any ancestors of those people today. I really don’t know what your point is.
That’s fair, but his ancestors crimes are not his to bear or be blamed for.
And again, it doesn’t change that the people still want to keep the monarchy. So democracy has spoken.

Obviously that is not fine but you’re making a strawman of what I said before. The situation you present is not comparable.
The King lives in luxury because his ancestors killed your ancestors and left their children in poverty to work for him.
That’s not a strawman.
I provided the background that your claim “children are innocent of their parents’ crimes” isn’t just.

The King was still profiting from African slave trade in the early 1800’s.

You said his parents crimes aren’t his to bear and I argue that children shouldn’t benefit from the crimes of their parents.
