Dude fuck off. Ozzy loved everyone
Wasn’t Ozzy a royalist? I know Sharon was.
Followed him my entire life and I think he always tried to do the right thing but brain was fried
Sharon sucks
Tbf so are lots of Brits in the passive sense.
In England and Wales, the leading cause of death in 2022 was dementia and Alzheimer's disease, according to the Office for National Statistics. Specifically, they accounted for 65,967 deaths, or 11.5% of all deaths registered that year. This is a change from the previous years when COVID-19 was the leading cause of death.
So fried brains?
Who cares. Many brits are in a passive, cultural sense, the same way non-christians celebrate Christmas.
lol comparing Christmas to royalism. Christmas has completely detached from Christianity at this point. Being a royalist means you are okay with funneling money to people based on heredity rather than merit. Also, Christmas doesn't affect society in such a way that it costs anyone money that doesn't celebrate it.
There are materials you can use to research Earth traditions, I recommend it if you plan on continuing to try to blend in with human society.
yeah but you missed the crucial part of the statement:
Sorry, I was going to start giving you actual figures about how much money changes hands for our regular traditions and cultural events across the world, but realized if you're willing to die on this hill you're a typical internetist where it is critically important that you call out someone's mildly problematic behavior or history while we lose literally everything we value in society due to rampant fascism resurging and the idolization of actual monsters, and you think that by making a stand on this one slippery-slope that you're going to do anything but turn people away from the very notion of being anti-royalist.
Just by engaging with this bullshit it will drive some infinitesimal point up on some algorithm and some Ozzy fan somewhere will read "LIBS CANCEL DEAD ROCK LEGEND FOR NOT BEING WOKE" and all you will have done is make more people angry at the wrong thing at the wrong time.
And since I know you skimmed that and didn't read it, let me give you the tl:dr: you're blocked.
