This isn't a 'dark secret' it's historical fact how they maintained their wealth. Colonialism at its finest, and the sad fact is that so many stolen historical items they have will likely never be returned to their countries of origin, at least not in our lifetime.
Exactly, as soon as I read ‘dark secret’ I knew what this video would be about
I love a conqueror personally
@@Animated_Armageddon What boot licking does to a person^^^^^
Not sad at all
The dark secret is on 2:50 where you see a compass and square. These symbols represent secret society’s that are running everything in places of authority from dark places. They see themselves as separate then common folk. Like masters to slaves. This has always been about perception of the truth. Which we all are spirits having a physical experience. When we pass our spirit goes somewhere, heaven or hell.
They work for dark entities that feed off pain. Like a parasite
It’s sad that this worldy experience will be the closest to heaven they ever see.
I didn't know colonialism was a secret.
It is for vice journalist apparently.
This woman's arrogant style annoys me and her point is to blame everyone alive now about those horrific times long before us.
@@ilarious5729 Long before us… everyone alive now… she was alive when they were doing this and she literally just died
@@ilarious5729 who is to blame for the "royals" not paying their share of taxes?
You surely live under a the royal balls 😂
Colonialism what I think is being framed as “crt” is being banned in schools left and right.
I have no money, no job or houses in the UK. Whats the point of the Royal Family if people are living in these conditions.
Fun fact:most diamonds and jewels on the Royal crowns are from Africa and if you are close enough you can hear the slaughtered kids that died for the parents to mine it.
😢 snap snap
Not to mention the Africans that helped the empire
It look nice
Kohinoor is from India... Most of the Royal jewellery is from India...
Wait - why is this being called a secret? We call this history
Because this isn’t taught in school. Not in my school.
Because this UA-cam channel are left wing nutters they should be happy they can talk about stuff unlike other countries they would go mossing
@@KarlMarxFanClub In Britain, We get taught this...well at least i did.
because it seems most the country are blind and are in love with the royal family
@@KarlMarxFanClub Just because you didn't listen and learn, it doesn't meant it wasn't taught.
As a Jamaican, no secret ,just dark!
Try searching the TV programme called Who do you think you are. One episode had a female black athlete who competed in the Olympics for Britain, she is black and when she looked into her ancestry she found that her grandfather was black and was a slave trader. Always the white man who's the problem eh. Your lot are as bad as any of them
As a Mexican, I know that colonizers wiped out 95% of the populations of the Americas with their diseases generated by their living alongside livestock. There hadn't been horses in the Americas for 10,000 years, but the Europeans brought them, and along with them, disease that hadn't existed here.
Then, when they were done wiping out my people, they stole people from the African countries, because they couldn't use the natives as slaves, because you know, they killed all of them. Its one of the greatest atrocities in human history, yet no one ever talks about it.
just dark skin?
?
replies = hidden
Compared to former Spanish and French colonies in the Carribean, i think Jamaica has done well.
It boggles the mind why the Queen and the royal family is so loved when they did all this. And THEY DON'T EVEN PAY TAXES!
They're spitting in the face of their own people. Insane.
The Monarch hasn't had power since Queen Victora.
@@uioplkhj research some more then come back with facts.
British ppl brainwashed
That’s because they are the taxes 😂😂😂😂 that’s how they gain their wealth
No, they pay taxes but NOT THE FULLEST.
7.6 million spent by Willy and Kate for one renovation on one property. They actually have 5 and the amounts would make one’s eye water. Yet, they were never demanded to pay back any of these amounts
Greetings world from me in Manchester, England. Tip of the day, dont put anyone on a pedestal and remember that theres no such thing as very important people, there are just people. If anyone is important its the surgeon who saves your life in an operation.

Exemption from inheritance tax sounds so wrong to me when commoners all need to pay for that…
It's not just them
UK inheritance tax is 40% of the assets exceeding £325,000. Most commoners don't own that much to be taxed.
@@bgezal in the south east of the UK you are hard pressed to find a house for that price. Maybe up north
@@leonhenry4861 Debt is deducted so if it's not fully paid it's not adding that much. If you own that much you're perhaps not so common.
@@bgezal It's pretty common to own a suburban 3 bedroom house in the south-east, a lot of the owners bought them for £25k back in the 80s while working normal jobs and raising families.
It would also be a good conversation to talk about how mankind went from chattel slavery into economic slavery. And why the monarchs face is on the money
Great question!

It is absolutely mind boggling to see "common folk" in the streets this day BEGGING for a decent wage to live, to feed their kids, to not dissolve into the abyss of poverty...Where they splendor and relish "by right". The injustice is just crazy. There is MORE THAN ENOUGH for everybody in this world. This is happening in front of our eyes. Eat the rich, your children will thank you for it and at least there will be food on their tables.... I hope. (I'm Belgian btw)
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven, you must become a new creation and be born again by responding to the Holy Spirit. - Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16 cf. Hebrews 10:26-29. Pay close attention to your thoughts and how you respond to your inner monologue because it has a greater impact than you think. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life, and do all that you can to follow His ways.
That's what I'm saying!! They SUCK.
Here here! There is a new era following covid and the queen's death. I think everyone is feeling it, not just in one country. Something is brewing. I hope it's realization.
It kinda makes my stomach hurt knowing there are people who can do all this type of stuff and completely get away with it. Also just so you know the royal family can't even be arrested or prosecuted by "civil and criminal proceedings".
Kinda of the cool things about being royalty
Probably because they’re directly descended from extremely powerful people idk
Yeah it’s almost like they are the kings and queens of a country, ain’t no way they don’t have to do things normal people do 😐
yep, cause laws are made up, but not followed by, the ruling classes and the working classes are duped and coerced into obeying them. Society is a complete scam than few ever question.
That just applies to the reigning monarch. It’s nonsensical to be that affronted by such a statistically unlikely notion when there’s way worse that could happen. Any rich guy could do the same it’s not like the law is an obstacle to anyone well connected with money.
I find it quite telling that when calculating the cost of the debt owed to other countries and their people Canada's, New Zealand's and Australia's Indigenous People were left out. There is no financial restitution that will account for genocide, but the value of the land stolen would help lift Aboriginal communities out of the traumatic and impoverished conditions they are now forced to live in. This is true for all people and countries subjugated by all-powerful colonizing countries historic and modern.
The indigenous people of Australia and New Zealand were paid for their land a long time ago. They are not forced to live in impoverished conditions. There was no genocide in either of countries either. The royal family arnt going anywhere, so complaining about their wealth is pointless
I'm Indigenous to NZ and u r correct
Why are indigenous people in Canada more independent and still established than those in the USA? Because the simple historical fact that indigenous communities in Canada swore allegiance to the British monarch and were protected from many of the ambitions of the respective white settlers. A fact not true in the slave state of the United States. It’s no rainbow and daisies but a striking historical divergence.
@yourmanwatson fair enough. Would love to hear your input explaining the divergence of the indigenous experience between the United States and America. Of course much of the trauma is shared but there are still striking differences. I was only pointing out that much of the problems westward looking white settlers faced was due to constitutional containment in Canada. The crown itself is a complicated entity existing both independently and also heavily constrained by national government.
Europe for Native Europeans,
Africa for Native Africans,
America for Native Americans,
Asia-Pacific for Native Asians-Pacific islanders... Just saying.
There's a hell of a lot misleading info here. The majority of those holdings (including Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Hampton Court Palace) are owned by what's called the Crown Estate or 'The Crown'. The Crown and Crown Estate is not the monarchs' private wealth. The Crown Estate essentially doesn't actually belong to anyone (though you can say it 'belongs' to the monarch in name only and The Crown as the state). It is technically held in the monarchs name during their reign, which is then passed onto the next monarch. They can't manage it, sell it or profit of it - the revenues don't belong to the monarch. It's run by a separate independent body and the profits go to the UK treasury (ie tax), as well as some going to the Sovereign Grant (maintenance/operating costs of the properties etc). Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Hampton Court are all owned by The Crown as an entity, not privately by the reigning monarch. Kensington Palace and Hampton Court are run by a self-funding charity called Historic Royal Palaces and open to the public. Buckingham Palace is a working state building, to carry out the functions of the Head of State and is also the Head of State's official residence (ie they have a flat there). It is essentially like the White House, without the government operating there, just the Head of State instead.
The monarchs' private asset property is the smaller Duchy of Lancaster, which a is a load of land and property holdings around the UK, worth about £650 million. They make an income on that and pay tax on it. There's also the Duchy of Cornwall which is passed on to the heir to the throne, which again they pay taxes on. Most of those property assets are just originally derived from centuries old land monarchy ownership in Great Britain - which you can argue about exploitation of Brits from centuries ago, but probably don't have much to do with the slave trade.
I don't agree with the sealing of the royal wills, preventing the public from seeing what kind of assets have been passed on over centuries, but Crown assets like Kensington Palace or Hampton Court - which may at one time had some connection to profits from the slave trade - are essentially part of the British state/the nation and not privately owned by the monarch. I mean Hampton Court is just a historic building open to the public, the Royals don't have anything to do with it. It was built before the English/British monarchs (Elizabeth I and the Stuarts) who invested in the slave trade, though some of the later renovations under the Stuarts could have partially come from their slave holdings profits.
Further, you do realise that the line of Stuarts - who created the Royal African Company - are a different family to the Windsors? They're very distantly related: ie multiple cousins removed. The Windsor's historic connection - to line of accession to the throne - came from a non-monarch Stuart who predated the two British monarchs' involved in the RAC (Charles II and James II). The RAC's assets were then spun off into a bunch of other private owners until the organisation became insolvent. I suspect you're very unlikely to see any private inherited wealth from Charles II and James II (Stuarts) to the replacement family Hanover, and now Windsor, line to the throne. You're also very confused if you think the British monarch is going to personally address an idea of 'reparations' for colonialism. The British Head of State is not allowed to be political. It's completely outside their remit or choice. If there ever were such a thing it would come from the UK government.
Lastly, 'more and more former colonies' are NOT 'saying they want out of the Commonwealth'. It's the opposite, more countries are wanting to join, recently Gabon and Togo this year. You are confusing Commonwealth Realm status with The Commonwealth. Commonwealth Realms are certain specific independent sovereign countries - within the Commonwealth - that still have the British monarch as their titular Head of State. The ones that want to stop being Commonwealth Realms don't want to leave the Commonwealth, they simply want to move forward and become republics. Which is completely normal. What's surprising is they've chosen to stay Commonwealth Realms for so long.
This is really bad journalism. Misleading and often devoid of genuine context and facts. And doesn't really get to a realistic idea as to how you would deal with the concept of 'reparations'. Which would be hugely complex, hard to actually quantify in any kind of factual meaningful audit to today, especially when it actually involves a lot more than one or two different royal families, from several centuries ago, who don't exist anymore. In fact, I suspect the deeper you actually try to properly financially audit something like slavery from 2-3 centuries ago, or colonialism, the harder it's going to reach any realistic resolution today.
I think there are ways to do certain 'reparations' by richer nations, but this aint it.
I didn't watch this upload, i just commented.

Wow 40% inheritance tax?! Man, that’s ridiculous! Governments even suck money out of the dead 🤦♂️ Grandpa worked his whole life saving up for his grandchildren but the Gov’t takes $40,000 from the $100,000 🤦♂️
Ah, but if your rich you can afford to employ people to find away round it. Tax is for the general majority of suckers and not the rich.
couldnt you just put the properties in the name of the benefctor before death?
There is a tax free limit up to £325,000. Anything above that is taxed at 40%. So about the first $400,000 is tax free
And just like that government makes us do illegal things.
*Yet, we still bow and praise these "Royal" as if they did something to greaten our lives.*
I was watching video of Kate Middleton yesterday, visiting a school or something, and everybody dropping curtsies like mad.

As a Greek person , i might as well ask the Turks for reperations as well according to your logic Vice.
Actually u guys deserve reparations
Ask the Irish if they felt they were saved from savage treatment by the British monarchy because of their white skin. For those of you not familiar with it, look up the terms "ginger pejorative". You can skip the people who were clueless in their youth, and think it comes from a TV series considering the history goes back well into the 1800s at the very least.
There might be a reason that a "ginger" who married a mixed race girl (and the term his grandmother the queen used for her) might have decided to leave their royal prerogatives and immigrate to Canada.
Also look up the chanting by soccer fans in Dublin after the Queen's death. " L1$$ie in a box" does not indicate a particular fondness for the royal family. The British refused to take any land out of sheep or wheat production during the Irish potato famine, starving 1 million to death and causing another 1 million to emigrate (or to be transported as not being sufficiently grateful to the British for this). That was a quarter of the population. In fact Charles Dickens comments about letting the poor die was in part based on the treatment of the Irish, although I doubt a poor Englishman starving to death in London would have appreciated the fine points on how they were treated differently.
Of course Ireland was not the only country singled out for this kind of honor by the British monarchy. Just the one with the lightest skin color.
Everything comes back to education and information. The dumber a person is, the easier it is to fool them. Look at all the people who waited in line to see a box with a very old dead woman in, who pretended to care about them. She cared about her horses, her dogs , her habbits and her comfort. She also protected a suspicious son who proved to be a liar and a deviant. Not much there to respect. She was a cautious mouthpiece, saying what she knew, the people wanted to hear. There is a word for these people as they are all around, to manipulate......
Correct ☺️👍🇬🇧🇺🇲❤️
:3 :3 American settlers, made up of Spanish, Whites, etc. Blacks owned slaves and most of the Transatlantic Slave Trade went to Brazil (not Whites). Portuguese had the most slaves prior to America ever getting any. Blacks owned Blacks in America, and many Whites didn't own slaves. Plenty of White slaves documented in North Africa and in the Middle East. All ethnicities have been slaves. The current most amount of slaves are in Africa, Blacks, owned by Blacks. Even The New York Times says most Americans get slavery history wrong.

I'm glad they said it. The Queen, former Nazi Youth, hoarded a ton of gold, reduced free speech, and whatever else (I didn't watch it yet).
Not many mention those things, just basically live in worship of her. I've said negative things of the Queen many times. I'm excited to watch this now. Lulz.
Just as Mother Teresa was exposed a whileeee back, but plenty don't like to think low of her with the many scams, malpractices, lavish lifestyle, and her very own disbelief in her religion that she made a journal of towards the end of her life.
Like my mom, an Evangelical, converter to Judaism, was a former Catholic, as we're part Italian and such.
I think she has been Buddhist, and I'm not sure if anything else. She doesn't like to go over any evidence of that. Nor any evidence of debunking religion, but often pushes religion on me and others. I often tell her what's debunked, and my beliefs, to remind her it won't work on me, I'm educated.

Most Brits are clueless about their history - all they learn about is the two world wars and the industrial revolution. As an Irish person that lives abroad and have many Brtis in our 'ex-pat' social circle I know this from experience. Don't get me wrong, they are among my best friends in the world but when you try telling them about their countries treatment and behaviour towards the Irish, Indians, Africans, Palestine, Caribbean, Cypriots etc etc etc they don't want to know. 'Get over it' and 'nothing to do with me' is the usual responses. That is why it will never change.
I agree to alot of this , but sadly this is how the way of the world was back then , if it wasn't Britain it would be someone else doesn't make it better just truth , also if you go back in history and look at slavery you'll find alot of dark and interesting things, I think it's important to know our history to make you're own opinion and to fully understand
As an Englishman I agree, our education is designed to discourage critical thinking, enslave the people and provide minions for the ruling classes.

It's similar to North Korea. A cult of personality. Look at the queen on note's,stamps,coins etc etc. God save the queen. It's an instilled fear that is mistaken for respect.
Britain is a constitutional monarchy, it has been for centuries. That means the government does 100% of the decision making, the monarch is just the symbolic figurehead for the country. British monarchs have zero legislative power. During Elizabeth's reign no new land was colonized, most of that happened before she was born. And as a constitutional monarch she had zero legislative power or political authority over either britain or the empire. So the crimes of the british empire are entirely the fault of the british government and nobody else, they were the ones actually running the empire and making all the decisions for it. Blaming the queen for any of it is absurd, especially considering most of the empire was built before she was born but most of the empire was DECOLONIZED during her reign
Here we go, the victims will come out the woodwork... you know, the ones that currently live a privileged life and went through none of the events in the video.

Ah yes, the plethora of comments from third world countries, I see them.
@yourmanwatson You're saying Jamaica is third word? Interesting.
Colonial rule coupled with brutal sanctions have economic consequences that have ripple effects throughout the entire Caribbean.
@yourmanwatson You know nothing about me. I made a factual statement, you're the one saying Jamaica is a third world country. Half baked opinion isn't an opinion when it's fact. Candace Owens would like a word with you.

Not exactly a secret
Agreed
@yourmanwatson state-instituted propaganda? Sure, that's could count as history for some. . .
@yourmanwatson yeah even better reason to check facts against the official record of events, turns out the past isn't historically accurate enough to qualify as the truth. many wonder "why is his story history, and my stories - mysteries?"
@@Mpayne1472 very true. even so, i'll bet that those who know the most don't know the least of it.
Not a secret. It wasn't so much "people of colour" , but people who were far less advanced at the time and also participated in the terrible things humans did in the past. Not race, just geography, society and greed. Some countries have actually rejoined the commonwealth. Countries looking to join the commonwealth include South Sudan, Suriname, Burundi and the as yet unrecognized Somaliland.
Hoping someone feels ashamed for the past is pretty petty. It's a shame Vice can't do balanced reporting. DW Africa an extremely balanced report on The Queen. Vice should be a news outlet to help people make up their minds. Balanced reviews. Aren't the more "controversial" views and untold stories edgy than this one sided cherry picked rant.
If you think India was 'far less advanced' then you really have been mugged off by your own teachers...
Whoever ideas to make this video after HM The Queen's death has some balls of titanium
How much wealth the royal family’s got I don’t even think that can be measured by number
I love these episodes. I always learn so much, please do one on the US 😭
Where on earth did you go to school that this wasn't already taught?
America's business is out there in the world, this is about secret, aint no secret bout amerikka
I went to elementary and high school at Canadian catholic schools and this wasn’t taught, or if it was it was very lightly touched upon. We learned about wars and political figures more. But outside of your own country it’s amazing how little is taught about other countries’ histories. We were not taught much about the US or The UK. Just Canadian history mainly, and barely anything about slavery.
lol what needs to be done on the US its clear to see. turn on the news. Read something and close the laptop sis.
What did you learn? This video reinforced your beliefs that the British have a shameful history.
Honestly just abolish the monarchy and return all the stolen artifacts.

@@dnesbeth226 hahahahahahaha
What do you expect them to do? The monarchy doesn't personally control any of these. Britain is a constitutional monarchy, everything the Monarch does is agreed upon with the Government. If they wanted to give away the crown jewels, give an apology or do anything, they'd need Governments approval. It's the same way the US President doesn't personally own the White House.
Prince Harry be like: I can’t wait to see how this turns out. 👓🍿
It’s vice conveniently leaving out the fact that queen Elizabeth VOLUNTARILY paid taxes, when she didn’t have to. Love how they left that out lol
The dirty secret of humanity is that at the root of all human culture is powerful control of resources, with the use of whatever weapons available. Even slavery and abuse is present in every culture, amplified by travel, trade, population growth and declining resources. What separates the UK is how successful they were, but know that many other cultures would have done the same if given the opportunity. Those peaceful cultures who did not, were either severely isolated or did not survive. All surviving cultures did so on the backs of enemies from years past, so how far back do you go?
Every nation with serious power has committed all types of horrible acts in the past to gain even more power and resources, We can look all over the world and find those nations are mostly the same ones with power and wealth today.
Everyone forget whilst slating the UK, Britain was one of the first to stand up against Nazism after the invasion of Poland, the complete opposite of what it was like during the heyday of the British Empire.
Well said.
Well atleast there someone in the comments section with some sense and appreciation for history.
Far back enough to right the wrongs of the people and their descendants who are alive and wealthy beyond measure today! It’s always someone who comes along to diminish the impact slavery has had on entire nations!
From the moment of their inception to this day is a good starting point to right wrongs!
@@zitiboylilo5789 That's just ridiculous, as I mentioned in a previous comment, by your logic we should punish all 16 million descendants of Genghis Khan since he was the most successful war lord we know of in human history. The royal family has no relevance to the Empire anymore, the remaining countries in the commonwealth choose to remain. You cant punish the descendants of a monarchy that have had no role in colonialism for 3-4 generations. Their business is hugely successful, their impact on patriotism is unrivalled, they bring millions to the British economy per year actually helping the tax payer unlike the BS this video leads us to believe. Im sure if we had a referendum to decide on the future of the royal family the British majority would be in favour of it. This wokeness is the problem with todays society, peoples arrogance to understand the significance of history and judging it by modern standards. Btw I'm not a royalist and I'm sure not patriotic but I admire history and you if you want to bark up that tree i suggest you go to the amazon because there's plenty more for you to bark up. Money is always made off the backs of the poor but i can guarantee the individuals that made up the poor didn't change the lives of millions, that's what makes men rich.
On the question of reparation - "Any Sum of money that is payable, would NOT be credible, and, any sum that would be credible could NOT be payable" ~ Shashi Tharoor - on paying debts to its former colonies.
Not one colony deserves a pay out. They got conquered. They lost, they should get money now? Nah
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven, you must become a new creation and be born again by responding to the Holy Spirit. - Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16 cf. Hebrews 10:26-29. Pay close attention to your thoughts and how you respond to your inner monologue because it has a greater impact than you think. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life, and do all that you can to follow His ways.
They also were the first to stop slavery despite push back from the rest of the world.
This doesn't surprise me because throughout history regardless if it was the monarchy or politicians, if you had wealth or power who are more than likely to not face poverty. The one thing I never understand when it came to the queen let alone any monarchy in Europe how can the people suffer from poverty when the world family does nothing but sit on their throne with a piece of tin foil on their head as money feels their pockets from the people. Do they even donate to the poor?

It's not JUST that. The problem I see is that you are talking about a single empire and it's deeds. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHERS, HUH? 10 trillion to Africa and 10 to the Caribbean? Sure no problem. Now, next on the agenda, the Italian government shall pay 10 trillion to France and Germany, since Julius Caesar they conquered the Gauls and then the Turkish government shall pay 10 trillion to Russians and Europeans because the Ottoman empire conquered and enslaved them for centuries. Next the old Barbary States ; the Libyan, Algerian and Tunisian government shall pay 10 trillion to the United States and United Kingdom among others for the millions of enslaved white Europeans for their transgression. Saudi-Arabia shall pay 10 trillion to the Indian government, the Mongolian goverment shall pay 10 trillion to half of the world since Ghengis Khan conquered pretty much half of the world and killed 10% of the human population. Let's move to Africa. The Egyptian government shall pay 10 trillion to...Don't even get me started I could go on ALL DAY.
It's a fool's errand to find transgressions of the past and try to make current governments and people for their deeds. I rest my case.
@@lawrencefrost9063 I think the distinction is that the current British state/crown is the same as the one committing atrocities, whereas the state of genghis/egypt of yesteryear is not present today.
@@prerakmalik1242 But if there was a line of succession from Julius Caesar to the current government of Italy, you would hold them accountable for his deeds? It's ludicrous. And If that line is broken, they get scot-free?
The current monarchy of England is not responsible for what King George IV did. Or what any of the previous monarchs did. You can never hold people accountable for things they have themselves not done. You can't blame the son for his father's sins. You can't blame the Germans today for what the Nazis did.
You know who does this kind of thing? The North Korean government. North Korea has a "three generations of punishment" system, where individuals found guilty of a crime are sent to the labour camps with their entire family. The subsequent two generations of that family are then born in the camp and live their lives locked up inside.
This is similar to what people think ought to happen in large scale in historical terms to modern governments. Because there were brutal policies in previous governments, the later governments and therefore taxpayers are held accountable for crimes they did not commit. It's madness.
My point was to recognize the atrocities and stop them from happening now. Fixing the past cannot be done but we can change what we do today by how we react to the past. I'm not your enemy.
If they can't even say sorry for their horrific sins, I doubt if they are human, if not evils.

"Unless, of course, you're prince Andrew" very very cheeky
It’s no secret that a monarchy is a criminal racket. It’s just very well propagandized
The majority of the monarchy's wealth comes from the fact that they've been the biggest landowners in Britain for over a thousand years. Even if the UK never colonized anywhere or never had a slave trade they'd still be fucking loaded

These "superior" individuals in our society whether they be politicians, celebrities, popes, royal families, etc need our attention to remain in "power". That's how we "worship" them and give our energy. They are like antenna. We blindly take in the bs programming from society and conform, allowing these sellouts to get access to our energy. Where attention goes energy flows. The more we think of what these leeches are doing and saying, the more we see ourselves as valueless.

James Connolly - "We will not blame him (King George) for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes."
Ireland is the example of what they do. with any body any Ware.
Starting with there imagration
Trade agreement 🤝🏻
And the mind. A bunch of bureaucracy and then.
Doing anything they must too get underneath. A bunch of people who love 🤑 money and grandure.
For example a bunch of people who can't understand anything.
And poses anything. After the practice is going. Then they start WETH. Resettling and then take one's identity. By recategorizing
The same people. Driving a weg between them. Ireland narrowly averted. Those things.
So did India. They fought politics
They fought physically.
Any body's thighs. Are there's where they look at some things. They don't even see anything but them self's WETH those things that they are making plans to poses . ways to influence and infiltrated in to North Ireland and then they start the usual occupation of another project
Like so many other places.
But Ireland is a little different than the rest. Indians who fought against England in India charged in to the British. And beat them. Just bye running millions and millions of Indians straight threw them.
Ireland made some kinda ball of blazing 🔥 and on impact. 💥 Explosion s. The fire splash was worse than anything else I've ever seen
They could not put the 🔥 fire out
It looks like it burns it's Owen self out
And left the Chard remains of the British troops. Then they fought politics.
But they still have influence on it.
I herd that they wanted to take the oldest castles in the UK.
And that ierland is older and so are the 🏯 castle's. And then 🫴🏼 change the name and story to there's.
They were trying to lay seizures on the relics of ierland. And if they ever get a chance to. Push away the rest of Ireland By expelling them to England and Make it's true inhabitants leave. They are responsible for it being done all over the place.

A few countries got rich off of slavery, not just England
a lot more pressing issues right now in the world
Exactly, like modern day colonization of eastern European country.
There’s always time for ‘white man bad’
A lot of those issues originate here
I am African, and I hate to think of the brutality, pain, and atrocities of slavery. But slavery and colonialism were the best things to have happened to Africa. There were far worse atrocities happening among tribal feuds, and i doubt Africa would have been anywhere near what it is today, with at least some hints of modernism, if it weren't for the West's interest in its natural resources. And we have to remember that slavery was condoned by the African monarchies of the time. The truth of the matter is that it happened, let's move on for the better!
Prince William has apologized for it but they will never give back the Cullinan and Koh i noor diamonds🌹⚜️🇺🇸
Indian removal was the United States government policy of forced displacement of self-governing tribes of Native Americans from their ancestral homelands in the eastern United States to lands west of the Mississippi River - specifically, to a designated Indian Territory (roughly, present-day Oklahoma).[1][2][3] The Indian Removal Act, the key law which authorized the removal of Native tribes, was signed by Andrew Jackson in 1830. Although Jackson took a hard line on Indian removal, the law was enforced primarily during the Martin Van Buren administration. After the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, approximately 60,000 members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations (including thousands of their black slaves) were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands, with thousands dying during the Trail of Tears.
Look around the world for atrocities. It never only happened in the UK. The modern RF are not to blame for the crimes of the dead!
its not really a dark secret when we're taught this at school...
Do a video on how litteraly all the United States wealth and power stems from slavery on an industrial scale, and how the British Empire ended slavery worldwide and paid 40% of it's wealth out in reparations. Not to mention the Brits who died fighting against it.
Thank you
Amen and Amen to that, i can't wait to watch a video about the United States wealth from slavery.
Well said but you must remember that Vice is far left wing and all it's viewers/ subscribers are far left wing. What this means is that they hate the UK. They won't educate themselves entirely but instead only learn what they want to learn.

Wrong . They started colonization
Reparations to the slave owners not the enslaved.
literally every country profited from slavery including even today in some regions. this isnt some sort of secret. the difference is when it was abolished...
Thank you so much for this video. I was vilified at work, my sports club and by many of my acquaintances, for refusing to mourn, and actually enjoying the death of an evil, power-grabbing person who abused power for lobbying and tax evasion regularly. I lost some 'friends'. Since Franco, we didn't see so much admiration of an evil-doing individual: colonialist and imperialist enjoying appropriated goods. She should never be celebrated, never respected and never go unpunished. Living in Britain at the time was like living in a place where everyone drunk from the well of irrationality.
