Revelations that the Royal Family is intolerant and racist aren't surprising, but reminders that Western Civilization's power structures are built on oppression
I didn't watch the interview, but I got the general idea from Twitter. You're right. None of this is surprising. I enjoy reading biographies of female monarchs of the Early Middle Ages up through the 18th century, but current monarchs just seem so out of place in our modern world. Their existence is so off-putting to me. Maybe it's because I'm so tired of seeing people hoard wealth while so many others suffer. My heart does break for Meghan and Harry, and I'm glad they're speaking out.
I think Harry and Meghan made the right choice to get away from all that madness. I wish them all the best. I grew up around the Dutch monarchy, much more wholesome and happy.

I actually started watching it bc I saw your tweet. I'm glad I did.
That pretty much sums it up. Well said, and much needed. As always. Thanks Jared.
