Sure. Also, Mayor McCheese teaches dictatorship to children. How many consecutive terms has that guy served? Wake up sheeple!
From this article, I gathered that I probably won’t click on any other Medium’s articles.
Medium is a crapshoot every time
Medium is a blogging site, not a news site.
This title reads like a leftist mirror of the Daily Mail,

Just give the community to Grail already. What a farce.
Edit: Fuck it, I’m blocking this place. Somecritter message me if a new one gets made.
If kux cared to repost their comment with Grail’s correct pronoun it would stay up.
Edit: I didn’t take this action, but I would have if I’d have noticed it first - just like LinkOpensChest when he was running the show here.
i don’t mind, i’m just here to see the antics of hardlightcereal / dronerights / exocrinous / mindtraveller / etc
So, just to clarify, you think that being against the monarchy is suspicious? I thought this was a progressive community where anarchist opinions like “kill monarchs” were taken as normal. But if you want the mods to take action against users for being against the monarchy, I’m sure you can suggest a rule change. Because your conspiracy theory that every anti-monarchist is the same person sure seems like the kind of liberalism that this community was created to get away from.
I haven’t seen the show or any discourse around it before this post. Is it such an uncommon take that you think only an alt of the same person would say that?
Edit: I’m genuinely asking. I don’t want anyone to think I’m not open to the idea.
maaaybe not on its own, but it seems unlikely that there is more than one lemmy user who is an australian otherkin with strong opinions on monarchism in children’s television, complains about ‘the n word’ when someone says narcissist, pushes (and invented?) ‘soulism’ nonsense, and gets upset with anyone who doesn’t accommodate extremely unusual demands
also add mechoselachia to the list of alts
Of course there’s lots of australians who hate the monarchy. Australia is a very progressive country. My university has a socialist club, a marxist club, and a soulist club. My city has protests for Palestinian liberation that hundreds of people attend every two weeks. I don’t mean to say that our government is very progressive (Although our right wing party are called Liberals and they have the same platform as US Democrats). I mean to say that progressive movements in Australia are very strong. Last election I voted for the socialist party, the legalise weed party, the piracy party, and the environmentalist party. We have multiple different major socialist orgs that show up at every major protest to hand out merch, and are often working together with the various groups running the various protests. Not to mention all of the smaller action groups like the drummers and of course the antirealists.
Americans might not be used to the level of progressivism you encounter in Australia, so it can be a bit of a culture shock. For example we had a few Proud Boys over from America a few years ago. HAD. They gave up because every time they showed up to counterprotest, thousands of australians would call them Nazis and tell them to fuck off. They needed a wall of police around them or they would have been beaten up, and they were sure scared shitless. On a more mundane note, if you go to ANY professional or academic or hobbyist meeting, they will tend to open with an acknowledgement of country, talking about systemic racism against aboriginals and the legacy of whatever land the meeting takes place on. Everyone does it, it’s completely normal here.
So yes, you’re going to see a lot of us australian anarchists about if Lemmy continues to be an international forum of discussion. This isn’t Reddit, you’re not going to be insulated from the rest of the world in your Americube. And no, I am not any of those other people. I’m not even My partner.
Here are some other people discussing why monarchy in children’s cartoons is weird and bad:

The writing of She-Ra just doesn’t make sense with regards to the whole “princess” thing, and it’s bad. I’m not the first, tenth, or hundredth person to think about this. There’s a lot of anarchists who have complained about the monarchy thing being apologism, and a lot of nerds who have complained about the writing of the political systems being illogical and confusing.
Like, they even have an anarchist character in the show. Swiftwind, the talking unicorn. He spends his free time freeing other horses from slavery at the hands of humanoids. He spouts communist propaganda every chance he gets. And yet he never ever criticises the monarchy. It’s weird!
