    Why are you comparing your life to historical kings, while there are still rulers in our modern era, who have access to all of the same modern conveniences as you do, alongside all of the overwhelming advantages of being a member of the ruling class, never having to work a day in their lives, exploiting you?

      Why are you comparing your life to historical kings

      Because it’s metaphorical not literal, I don’t sit on a golden throne either or attend ceremonies opening bridges or cut ribbons and get my face splashed across your garbage UK newspapers

        It sounds to me like you live a comfortable life, which I’m glad to hear, but surely you must see some of the problems reflected around you in society, even if you don’t personally experience them? Don’t you see public services struggling under austerity, or people in your community who struggle to make ends meet, despite working hard? Does that stuff just not bother you at all? No judgment here, it’s okay if the answer is no, I’m just genuinely curious.
