this royal family stuff sure seems like a manufactured distraction, but from what? (lemmy.world)

My feed is filled with this stuff and all I can think of is the conspiracy seems like it should be focused more on the attention it's taking vs whatever crazy takes are floating around. Is this all to distract from the multiple wars going on? Or is there something else that should have our attention but doesnt?

It's also a way to keep themselves relevant in our current society. A generation ago, the Queen was part of many world changing events and her family was held in high regard (whether it was warranted or not is another argument). No matter how you felt about them, 30-40 years ago, the Royal family was a major institution in our world. It was something people a generation or two ago thought was a normal part of life and necessary.

Now, no one cares ... all they mostly see is a bunch of rich wealthy people that think they are somehow important because they happened to be born or married into a certain family. No one associates the Royal family any more to anything relevant to anyone's life. Look at King Charles, it was hilarious to see him discuss and make comments about poverty in one of his first speeches .... from a golden jewel encrusted throne!

So any time I see Royal family headlines, it just stupid to me ... they are no longer relevant and them begging for attention is just them shouting at everyone to treat them like we all once did decades ago.
