braak: I think it's fair to ask the question, but at the end of the day we probably still should not be handing it to any of those guys.

and yes I find Americans who are obsessed with British royalty pathetic lickspittles thanks for asking

if there is one traditional aspect of being American I live by, it’s absolutely refusing to acknowledge or play along with British royalty and nobility bullshit

long live Oliver Cromwell

you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to Oliver Cromwell"

Papist, much? 🇻🇦

he was refreshingly anti-royal, but the guy did murder like half a million Irishmen.

And I won't pretend killing one king makes up for that. But he did kill a king! With Cromwell, Napoleon, Stalin I distrust their haters for similar reasons. Some cry "mass murder", but really care more about the dead monarchs, on principle.

I think it's fair to ask the question, but at the end of the day we probably still should not be handing it to any of those guys.

They're not at the level of that one guy you absolutely shouldn't hand it to. What I would hand to Cromwell, for instance, is a sword, if he found himself face-to-face with a king and had forgotten to bring one.
