deep down americans feel guilt for betraying the motherland


I think there is a weird post-empire thing going on.

I am hearing these 2 idiots in MSNBC talk about the royal wedding (the same 2 idiots who were waving and saying "Megan is here!!! HIIIIIII!!! Wave at me!!!") and one of them said "the wedding was so spiritual and quick, not like those thousands of catholic weddings I've been that are lethally slow".

Back in the day brits were known for being extremely anti-catholic, and these supposedly liberal MSNBC bobleheads are pretty much trying to be like that.

Good.

Why'd Harry choose Megan, anyway? She is nothing special.

Someone out there will go like "das racist!" but no, there are plenty of HOT women who are black, Megan just isn't one of them... she isn't even that famous

People are being told to care about it, so some people are caring about it.

Coverage worldwide apparently attracted 1.9 billion to 2 billion. (Ok, I dont have an article link, but I heard that on BBC Americas live coverage).

And not sure why signaling out America - in Australia the queen is still the head of state.

They don't, it's just the media making it seem like the people care, when in reality no one gives a fuck that one of the actors from Suits is marrying into royalty.

Suits is incredibly popular in the US. Last year's season finale I believe had over 1 billion viewers in the US alone watching it live. Every woman wants to be a Donna or a Rachel and every man wants to be a Louis or a Harvey. You can't go anywhere without overhearing someone talking about the show.

Ive never understood the obsession with the royal family. Britain loves their celebrities and the dirt rags that invade their lives, more than people here in the US do.

I mean young girls dont ever dream of being princesses or having a handsome prince carry them away on a noble steed.

Because I live in America, and because America is not part of the commonwealth and all that shtick.

most people don't. It's just people that really have nothing going on in their life latching on to it. Iirc there were several polls about if people were going to watch the wedding and only 20% of the people polled said they were

This, I feel like the media is just making a big deal about something most Americans couldn't care less about.
