"King Charles shouldn't be blamed for things his ancestors did." The Irish response when the King visited Ireland in 1911.

@JJKALE2 This exactly is what colonialism and imperialism have in common - absolutely no desire to relinquish their ill gotten gains.

@JJKALE2 The Irish when they were drafting this letter.

@JJKALE2 Sounds fair to me…

@JJKALE2 The Irish were cooking 🍳 while saying this.

@JJKALE2 If you aren't different from your ancestors, why should you be treated differently from your ancestors?

@JJKALE2 "Nobility should no more be hereditary than infamy" -- Scaramouche, Rafael Sabatini

@JJKALE2 That brilliant quote is from the great socialist James Connolly. A few years later Ireland achieved partial independence from the rule of British capitalism & monarchy only to replace them with a deeply conservative Irish capitalist class in league with fundamentalist Catholicism

@JJKALE2 Our ancestors were more articulate than we are

@JJKALE2 He didn't do those things but the monarchy he represents did.

@JJKALE2 It's a crying shame that the Irish government don't respond like that today

@JJKALE2 So the son is guilty for the sins of their father? Sounds unreasonable.

@JJKALE2 This is quietly beautiful and poetic.

@JJKALE2 shouldnt be blamed for what his ancestors did because he is a different person is actually an argument against monarchy

@JJKALE2 @raphaeldogg Charles: never mind responsibility, just give me the cash and power please.

@JJKALE2 @sovereignravens Speaks to our education system that people don’t understand the unique issue with monarchy. We celebrated their disempowerment for a reason folks.

@JJKALE2 Sins of the father is not a valid moral position

@JJKALE2 If we're all about the sins of the fathers, did I miss the Irish apology for the slave raiding of the Welsh coast they were rather fond of before the Charlie boy's ancestors the Normans decided they'd had enough? 🤷

@JJKALE2 James Connolly. It's important you credit this to him, and more important that you check him out. You're in for a treat

@JJKALE2 The one good thing about him was his environmental credentials. But this is his complete undoing and shows everyone with any level of intelligence what the royals are about. x.com/StockMKTNewz/s…

@JJKALE2 The royals and the papacy have destroyed their own reputations without any outside help at all. It’s as if there is no intelligent decision making going on at all.

@JJKALE2 *Stares in American white people.*

@JJKALE2 Exactly this. You can't say 'aw sorry my grandparents stole this [land, resources, gold, money etc etc] and gave it to me so now I can't do anything about it cause it's mine 🤷, aw well'

@JJKALE2 "so long as he gives up the benefits from the things his ancestors did"

@JJKALE2 The claim to the title of king of all Ireland was surrendered before Charles was born. His title to northern Ireland rests with the sovereign will of the people of that land. The title king of Ireland expires on the natural death of Charles.

@JJKALE2 A perfect exposition of the notion of collective responsibility eg as per Hannah Arendt, Irish Marion Young etc

@JJKALE2 His family was the royalty of england before we stepped foot in ireland. Ireland raiding England and Wales for slaves on the other hand.

@JJKALE2 @treatytims James Connolly.

@JJKALE2 Yes that’s incredibly retarded.

@JJKALE2 👍

@JJKALE2 Charles should be forcing his brother to testify about his association with Epstein. Charles & Andrew are stains upon their mother’s memory. Now with the disgusting opulent display of grovelling to a senile dictator….I’m done with the Royals.

@JJKALE2 Right on

@JJKALE2 Some valid points to make there Not complete because history doesn't give us tidy solutions BUT Charles is not a ruler like his ancestors Just a ceremonial figurehead So their argument is concluded Charles is fine

@JJKALE2 By that reckoning the Catholic Church is entirely responsible for the occupation of Ireland as the Pope granted Henry II feudal rights over the island.

@JJKALE2 Wow! I like this.

@JJKALE2 Nazo 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ @PearlLudidi

@JJKALE2 Damn Irish woke as fuck
