Okay I am not going to be a person to dog the queen. What what in the fuck . We literally won a war to escape the crown and tied another war to remind free. But Americans are glowing over the queen. It sad she died. But Japan literally had a ex-head of stated murdered. Did we go crazy over that.

Because we are not a part of their Empire or their commonwealth. She was born in to her riches and we said ... you it is "Common Sense" to not bow to those people.

What else do you think we owe the Revolution vs England these days? I mean, is that something you factor into your dealings with the British often ?

Haha

I've been called a "colonist", but afaik that hasn't been a relevant angle for like 100+ years dude

Not because of the revolution. It's because of the horrible shit the royal family is guilty of. Liz defended those things. If she was a decent person she would have stepped down from the throne decades ago

The federal government actually did, in fact, order flags at half-staff after Shinzo Abe's assassination

It's something we do as a mark of respect for leaders of our close international allies, which Britain and Japan both are.

The British monarch is the Head of State, but importantly, not the Head of Government.

There is a distinction.

It is funny that want her to be a head of state in times like this. But when you say what about this bad thing that happen while she was queen. Oh she didn't have any power what so ever.

American English didn't really do anything in terms of 'making' itself better, its more it just stayed the course the language was already on

British English is the one that went on a world colonizing tour and came home with a huge variety of influences

she was also the head of state for Canada, even if she did pretty much leave them alone

We fought a war 300 years ago but we are very close allies now. Showing respect by flying the flag at half-staff doesn't mean we are giving up independence and joining the UK, lol.

It is just a part of a trend I have been seeing. People romanticizing he Crown. Like saying oh America is a Decmocry before of them, or Colonization was good.
