Looking back at long reign of Queen Elizabeth II I noticed that in many ways she defined not only that long post WW II era, boomers' generation, as well as that stereotype of so-called Disney princess.
Now that she is dead and her successor King Charles III is crowned, we should finally wake up from delusions of her age and start rebuilding reality.
The age of Disney Princesses and their whims is over, and the world shall be ruled by men once again, as it should be.
Disney Princess
While she was a heiress presumptive, in many ways her ascension was somewhat unexpected.
Normally females cannot inherit the crown, that may only happen if there is no male heir. That was the case with her father.
To top it up her father King George VI died relatively early, at 56, compared to an average life expectancy we get used to nowadays.
Suddenly young Elizabeth II became Queen.
Young girl who married a handsome prince and suddenly got propelled into spotlight and power. She had many attributes that Disney later regularly and massively replicated in their princess cartoons.
This Disney's misunderstood or manufactured delusion spread back into the world affecting hearts and minds of people of that post-WW II era.
Her Royal family, unusually centred around a female figure, became a bad role model for so many others.
Her life gave so many girls unrealistic expectations from life and so many men a headache of dealing with women.
Post WW II Peace
She became Queen at around the same time as Stalin died and war time US president Truman was out of power. In many ways she personified the new era were hopes for peace
Last war time leaders were gone and humanity, that was all too eager to forget everything about that war, whole heartedly embraced this new Queen. She became a symbol of that era.
While Elizabeth II herself is not a boomer age wise, it was the boomer generation that grew up knowing only her and completely unaware of those who came before her.
Elizabeth II and Boomers
Back then she was young and so were boomers. Just like her boomers ended up being a somewhat fresh start of a new era.
Influenced by the prevailing post-WW II culture with The Beatles, pacifism, student leftism boomers ended up building an inverted order society influenced by their delusions.
It is hard to tell how much she was and influencer. Very possibly she was simply a reflection of that era. However, the way she and Royal Family were did reflected on boomers and things they keep spreading over the world.
Eternal Queen
She and the boomers aged together. Her longevity allowed her continued reign to look like something eternal. People even used to make memes about it.
In a world where everything else is rapidly changing and evolving into the future, she was constantly there. That gave many a sense that certain things do not change and can continue on forever.
As she aged but continued to reign, boomers too thought that they can continue on prolonging their lives and avoid aging and dying.
The End
However, despite beginning her reign at early age and her extreme longevity, shortly after her husband, she passed away. As if she desperately wanted to reunite with him.
No King or Queen rules forever after all.
With her gone, hopefully that feminist delusion of empowered woman will hopefully dissipate as well.
Queen is dead, long live the King.
New Era
King Charles III by now is rather old and frail. However, it is not his fault his mother had him at young age and then lived to 96.
He too is a reflection and a consequence of the problems of the precious age. He had to wait way too long to become a King and that wait wore him out too much.
In many ways he is like us, Millennials who too have to wait long until boomers will finally die out and vacate the space for Millennials to take over.
Because of the above I am very much delighted that despite all nigh sayers who wanted to just skip him somehow and get straight to William, he ended up getting his throne and crown. At the long last, but he finally has it.
It gives me sadistic pleasure, that all these royalty followers who did not like him, have no choice that to live with him not.
Regardless of whether they like him or not. Regardless of if he fit to rule or not, he still has right to rule by virtue of his birth right.
Since I am also the first-born son, I too want to emphasize that fact.
Millennials
Most importantly however is that Charles III rule and coronation to the charging of the naysayers still happened.
That gives me hope the fact that we, Millennials who are as hated by boomers as King Charles III is, will in turn get out place under the sun and will enjoy our rule to the fullest when the time comes.
I do wish to end it with:
Boomers are dead, long live Millennials.
