@darrenbosworth5063 Here here. The king/queen has always been a figurehead since the Civil War of our country although centuries ago, and even though they did have a lot of power, this kind of power was instigated by parliament. Having the monarchy means you can use them very effectively as a figurehead for power which is one of its benefits, as well as keeping parliaments in check to make sure they don’t go too far. But it also means they are an easy target to go after by the more ignorant general public of a country or empire, when something bad is done because they are the most visual target. Even if they did receive money from what happened in Australia, they most certainly didn’t instigated or demand that cash from that one region. It all went into the same part. Plus back then, how were they to know exactly what was always going on when they had to always be aware of the events of what was going on throughout the rest of the Empire around the world.
This whole notion of ‘generational guilt’ and paying back of those you’ve never even heard of trying to alleviate yourself of this is truly unhealthy. A few years ago they were still trying to push that it was the right thing to do (especially in popular television), as it was to make up for some sort of sin, but those people aren’t here anymore, and unless you’re actually believe in the act they did somehow sometimes, you have no responsibility to give over what you have just to try and build these people up, when they themselves should still try and improve their lives themselves which is far more achievable in the times we now live in.
To some people this would seem heartless or somehow evil, but it is just sadly a simple fact and one that needs to be heard and finally achieved, because inevitably, over the thousands of years of human history, by this guilt logic, everyone is guilty. The persecution needs to end, now. We need to build each other up, not with reparations or retribution, but by simply helping and building up.
