the queen is dead

[vegetariantaxidermy]

Well I adore royal funerals but I just hope they don't go all woke with the music. Most of the English composers are horrible, and black gospel choirs would be unbearable. Philip obviously had really good taste in music, going by his funeral, but then again he didn't have any time for wokism. I'm guessing the royals will go all PC with this funeral, to keep all those moronic twitter fuckheads happy.

You tell us what we should all be thinking and feeling now.

She was grand and regal. Hers was a hard job to do well, and she held up her end, I would estimate.

Whether others should feel the same, I'm not able to say.

What I'm thinking is, "Is there any chance she settled the succession by skipping at least one generation?"

I don't suppose such a thing is ever done, though...and she was one for duty.

Why on earth would she do that? Because people think that soppy woke twat William is 'better looking'?

No, because Charles is...Charles.

One needs no more explanation that that, I would think.

What's "woke music"?

What's "woke music"?

Chosen not for its beauty but for political, virtue-signalling reasons. Philip had Beethoven at his funeral. According to wokedom Beethoven is 'too white and male' and should be 'cancelled' (and yes, that's from an actual article).

Well, if you'll forgive my saying so, I haven't found the Woking Dead to be particularly aesthetically sophisticated. So if not a dead, white male, then what?

Rap? Zydeco? Tibetan nose flute?

[vegetariantaxidermy]

Perhaps. Whatever is considered 'politically safe' at any given time. I haven't heard of the Tibetan nose flute
Wokies will go for anything that's fashionable. They can't cope with anything that doesn't involve buzzwords (hint: 'diversity', 'inclusiveness'). Perhaps they will have a black transgendered Down syndrome playing the Tibetan nose flute?

Now THAT I will tune in to see.

But Charles poncing down the aisle to Disney's "Let It Go," I will not.

"According to wokedom Beethoven is 'too white and male' and should be 'cancelled' (and yes, that's from an actual article)."

that's why it needs to be a boy band with one Caucasian, one Hispanic, one Asian, one African American, and one Arab. Among the members there must be one hermaphrodite, one bisexual and one transgender who's identities may remain confidential.

What are their pronouns?

You know you were weeping into your fruitloops when you heard it..

[iambiguous]

There can be only one ... reaction.

Thanks.

Just when I thought I was back at ILP, you've managed come through for me.

Sure, let's go there...

What one and only one reaction can there be?

And, just to assure a more precarious exchange, let's assume that we both possess at least some measure of free will.

You more than me of course.

Again you misunderstand.

Thanks.

You know, coming from you.

Okay, so you are agreeing that your assessment of her is just your own personal opinion. That others may have completely different or negative opinions of her. That there is no intellectual or moral foundation that we can turn to -- religious or secular -- in order to determine how rational and virtuous men and women ought to react to her. Either in regard to her life or her death.

Kant and others like him are irrelevant here.

That, in other words, for all practical purposes, you're right from your side and they're right from theirs.

Glad to see you're finally coming around to seeing these things as I do.

On the other hand, we still need to work on the part where you come to recognize that your reaction to her life and death is rooted existentially in dasein...and not in, say, "How would Jesus react?"

You know, since you approach everything from one narrow direction, I gave you a gift. You're just begging for someone to claim that there is only one reaction so that you can jump on him/her. You're welcome.

In the wit department, can you top this?
