I understand being uncompelled by Meghan Markle's experiences with royals

[Sympthsical]

78. It's rich, privileged people fighting other rich, privileged people

Here's the thing. The racial issue with Markle is incredibly real. There are dozens of examples of how the media treated her vs. Kate. The upper, aristocratic crust of British is no doubt racist. They exist in an unimaginable world of wealth and privilege. That skin color remark reeks of pure Phillip. I'm glad she's calling some of that out.

However.

That interview was incredibly contrived, and I didn't buy entire sections of the thing. I know a bad actress when I see one, and boy howdy, I don't know what she was auditioning for, but I wouldn't have given her the part. People are eliding over a lot of obvious nonsense she was throwing out because they want to believe her and they support her in the anti-racism broadsides she's firing against the privilege fortress.

She didn't know what she was getting into? Really? Really?. Bull. Shit. There's an entire cottage industry of movies, articles, books, and documentaries outlining exactly what she was getting into. She absolutely knew. She made a calculation. Hell, we all knew, and we weren't even involved.

She makes it out that it's all about race. Really. So the fact she's an American and a flippin' actress had nothing to do with how that privileged class was going to see her? Nothing at all? Uh huh.

What I saw was a media savvy woman with a console full of social buttons she absolutely knew how to push during an incredibly manipulative interview. She pushed every single one. Unfortunately, the racism one is absolutely true given what we know about that lot. A lot of the rest, though . . .

And at the end of the day, these two are going to go on to lead lives of unimaginable wealth, privilege, and fame. They've already proven themselves to be unimaginably self-absorbed. "We are going to lecture the rest of the world about the environment from swanky private events and parties that we take endless private jets to." I mean, good grief.

I'm not surprised people bought it. The whole thing was designed to get people to buy it. These two are creating a brand now. They want to rake in that cash. And people are already pumped to hate the royal family (not that it isn't without good cause).

Frankly, I am exhausted of hearing about these two hilariously privileged people. They are constantly in the news. I hear about them endlessly, and I have zero interest in them. It is constantly forced down my throat. That is a designed media strategy. But, I'm not exactly surprised so many people are falling for it. It's doing what it was intended to do.

I just wish it would go away and people would stop focusing on it so much. We do still have a pandemic going on. Harry and Meghan are going to be more than just fine. And they wouldn't stoop to scrape you off their shoe if there wasn't a camera around. She can get some of our sympathy and our empathy, but keep your eyes on the intent of that interview.

It wasn't to help you.

This is the only post I'm going to make on this. I'm already hating myself for spending ten minutes on it. I've just wasted it.
