    Good, now strip the rest of them of their titles as well.

    (Random bit of trivia: The last time a British prince was stripped of his titles was in the 1400s.)

    Self preservation of The Crown. They know he’s smearing the entire Royal brand and seek to reverse the damage that’s been done without sending him to prison. That’s not going to work though.

    He might end up getting Diana’d before this is all over.

      This feels really odd to type out, but while it seems like the Charles’ brother, godfather and friend were all paedophiles, I don’t think he is.

      I think we probably would have gotten a hint of something with the Epstein stuff. I still think he’s evil and probably ignored all the paedophilia as something you are allowed to do if rich (all the while tut-tut-ing that “it’s rather vulgar”).

      CW talk of sex and menstruation

      There was a thing when he was still married to Diana that a leaked conversation with Carmilla his lover at the time (now wife), that he wanted to live inside her pants forver and suggested one option would be as a tampon. The exchange is very banal and kind of just healthy? Like here’s a guy in 1989 talking about tampons without acting weird

      Like he’s a ghoul that should have all his wealth and titles stripped from him and force to sweep streets. But that’s the vibe I have.

          Yeah and it was also just a made up name to make them sound less German.

              Also it sounds better than the Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha and they can pretend they aren’t part of the biggest incestous clan in entire history of humanity.

            mountbatten was also taken to make them sound less Greek

              I wonder what they had changed it from previous to the Greek name. Hopefully something that sounded too English.

                it was weirdly far back, but i think it might have actually been a family with a German name that got the kingship of Denmark and Greece, so actually Mountbatten might have also just been to get away from a German name as well.

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
