Elizabeth II: White Supremacist, Racist, Nazi

This image is absolutely wild, and I think the Sun's watermark over the top only adds to how truly British this image of the Queen doing the Nazi salute is.

Elizabeth II, would I will not address as 'Queen,' died in 2022. Her death signified the end of an era: an era of colonialism, racism, and white supremacy. Whilst white supremacist and racist ideals still permeate our society, and the effects of colonialism can still be felt around the world, the Queen signified a privilege and right to the racism that I hope died with her. I won't say her death made me happy, but it certainly didn't make me sad. Here's why I won't mourn the Queen. The hagiographic fairytales of the Queen's life are lies - they represent a disgusting colonial desire to cover up the history of black oppression that Britain is built upon. As noted Sri Lankan Academic and Author Indrajit Samarajiva wrote:

The British Empire were just Nazis that won. Their greatest victory is that their Reich can go on, and expect to be mourned and not scorned.

 I don’t think anything truer has ever been written, except perhaps when he also wrote that:

As a colonized person, I’m glad the queen is dead, I’m only sorry she got to go peacefully.

In the same article, Samarajiva noted that Adolf Hitler was jealous of the white ethnostate that ‘Queen’ Elizabeth inherited. In Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote that:

Many contemporary European States are like pyramids standing on their apexes. The European territory which these States possess is ridiculously small when compared with the enormous over-head weight of their colonies, foreign trade, etc. It may be said that they have the apex in Europe and the base of the pyramid all over the world very different from the United States of America, which has its based on the American Continent and is in contact with the rest of the world only through its apex. Out of that situation arises the incomparable inner strength of the U.S.A. and the contrary situation is responsible for the weakness of most of the European colonial Powers.

Hitler waged genocidal wars of theft and hate in Europe simply because England and the Axis of Colonial-Age Europe had already done it across the rest of the known world. Hitler’s only mistake, the only reason he lost WW2, was because he killed and stole from white people – namely Britain and Russia. Doing the same thing to people of colour was ‘Queen’ Elizabeth’s birthright, the very source of her family jewels, not including the fact that she directly presided over putting 1.5 million Kenyans in concentration camps. She was a genocidal and evil woman, who imprisoned millions because she was handed the title of our ‘Queen.’ The only thing we, as anti-colonialists, should be sorry for, is that in her passing her stolen treasure will only be passed to another generation of white supremacy.

‘Queen’ Elizabeth was not a good woman. She did not stand for good things. The people she gave cheer to during World War II did and even went on to do vile things. It was her European family that started World War I, fighting amongst themselves, and the revolt against their misrule sparked revolutions that beheaded most of her continental relatives. The only shame is that Victoria’s direct descendants survived on the accursed island we reside on.

Sometimes, society likes to talk about what she ‘represented,’ but everything I associate with the queen disgusts me: white supremacy, class, ableism, racism, rape, colonialism, genocide. She represented the pinnacle of class; she was the pole around which the whole wretched circus is tented up upon. She represented white supremacy, not employing people of colour herself until late last century, with the crown still being exempt from racial and sexual discrimination laws to this day. She represented ableism, shunting two disabled cousins off to homes where they were not visited and were even registered as dead decades before actually dying alone there. She represented the most rapey and violent privilege, covering up for her child-abusing son consistently. And of course, she represented colonialism, presiding over it, resisting independence, and still preserving the idea that this was some glorious period and not just even more successful genocide and theft than even Hitler could imagine.

Mourn the death of the Queen? Billions of people all over the world are either indifferent, celebrating, or angry at watching all this. It’s really like watching someone celebrating Nazis. They were Nazis to people of colour, and we’re expected to honour this woman because she was boring and meant something to her ‘subjects’. As noted Ghanaian-American Journalist and Diplomat Karen Attiah said:

Black and brown people around the world who were subject to horrendous cruelties and economic deprivation under British colonialism are allowed to have feelings about Queen Elizabeth. After all, they were her ‘subjects’ too.

I can only think of one reason to be sad. And that is because our news cycle for the next couple of weeks will be full of weapons of mass misdirection. Fawning, thoroughly airbrushed and sanitized coverage of her reign. Doe-eyed bootlickers lined up to kiss the proverbial doormat one final time. A fancy funeral. A coronation, because it’s 2022 and kings are, somehow, still a thing, and whilst all the eyes in the world are on the right hand, the left hand will be up to some truly heinous stuff.

History is written by the winners. The genocide and killings, depredation, and oppression committed by the British Empire, have come back to haunt them and culminated in Brexit. There is more to come. We need critical British theory to bring their evil to light. Compassion dies in pageantry, and democracy dies in darkness. We, as allies to colonised people, have a duty to bring light to this. Bring light to the fact that this country, and this government, feel it's acceptable to mourn a woman who was little better than a Nazi.

I do not revel in her death, but I do hate empires for these reasons. We had the British Empire and now we have the American one. History will always repeat itself, so it's important that we remind ourselves of history's tragedies.
