'It is time to rediscover the majesty and meaning of the natural world of which we are part and make reparation for the destruction colonialism continues to unleash while British kings and queens parade in their finery,' writes Priya Satia

. But the frantic analysis of the monarchy remains blind to its role in the existential climate crisis we face: the surrogate sacred object it offered to a society that ceased to find meaning in the earth and fellow beings.

In the eighteenth century, the new state was defended and strengthened by constant wars that expanded Britain’s empire and the slave trade and. Fossil fuels and industrial metals were relentlessly extracted from the earth in Britain and its colonies, quietly unleashing a process of climate change, and transforming human relations to the natural world, work, and fellow human beings.

He echoed the Romantics who strove to preserve a space of enchantment in books, asking readers to engage in “that willing suspension of disbelief…which constitutes poetic faith,” Coleridge wrote. To be modern was to exile myth and magic to art. There was the real world, and there was the imaginative world.

Poor choice of date for this

A correction is required...'It is time to rediscover the majesty and meaning of the natural world of which we are part and make reparation for the destruction colonialism 'unleashed' while British kings and queens 'paraded' in their finery,'

Colonization has been the way of humanity since well before it left Africa.

Colonization has been the way of humanity since well before it left Africa.

What destruction? What continued colonialism? Recall that the UK was colonized by the Romans and later the Normans - and for the better.

So true Priya, but will that ever happen?

The British King is a life long environmentalist.

INDEED.

a land of guns, corruption , criminality, unbridled capitalism and the most racist country,on earth. How bout writing about that

Look at mud in your own back yard- land of shameful useless wars thst uses young poor as foder, a land that feeds its people so much junk food so pharmacedical companies will profit from the the illnesses it causes, a land of guns - ...

RuthieDaughter What a crock

Yes. But arguably no-one sane would prefer the US System over the UK one. How much does it cost the taxpayers to maintain the White House/Secret Service for POTUS and his immediate family? There are better systems that are similar to neither extreme in the UK + USA.

You silly wet moo, The British went to your primitive country over 200 years ago. You've done nothing with all that was shown you, and you just abuse other for your incompetence

🤣😂🤣😂😂

What are you talking aboutThey have no say.They are just a British tradition.The Parliament decides on everything.If anything the natural world is quite high in their agenda!!!!

This Is The Rule

Is this news media coverage considered Critical Race Theory for the CommonWealth? CRTexhibitA

Oh please… take responsibility for your own actions and stop being a woke bot blaming white institutions

Stupid article-go read actual history. Wild how no mention of British abolishing slavery by vote was never mentioned as if they failed to realize in the 18th century Brits were working to abolish slavery and later in the 19th did by vote.

Thank you!

Please include the Africans that sold other Africans and consider the Queen's never ending work to heal the wounds of her long dead ancestors.

Get over it..

How about you look at the colonisation of America and mind your own business about everyone else.

Propagandists

Can't the American press leave the British alone, instead of blaming their monarchy for every evil under the sun, at least until the Queen has been buried? Otherwise,we may be inclined to remind you of a few evils genuinely 'Made in America',but that would be Whataboutism, right?

Yet again, you’ve no decency, and absolutely no understanding of how Britain, or indeed the real world, works outside of an extremely myopic, narrow spectrum view.

What absolute nonsense.That is a translation of the WEF agenda,in other words, they make any kind of empire sound bad, whilst they literally aim for 1 with a world government in which the globalist elites behind the scenes lap up th benefits & citizens standards of living decline

Enough with these biased, myopic hit pieces! The Queen has died and people are grieving!
