There was a whole drama in the media last week regarding the death of Prince Philip. The British actually complained to the BBC that they were covering his death too much.
At the same time, everyone was trying to turn this old guy into some kind of political symbol.
Donald Trump issued a statement praising him (because that’s what Donald Trump does now that he’s banned from everything – he issues statements), obviously as some sort of statement that he stands with the great figures of white Western civilization. On the other side, white women were doing #JustWhiteWomenThings and condemning him as evil for reasons that were vague but obvious; they hated him because he was a white male symbol of power, and said they were glad he was dead because he said something about Chinese people having slanted eyes in 1972 (or whatever – I’m not going to dignify these people by looking up the specifics).
Some white bitch at The Guardian was fired for wishing that he would have died more painfully.
deeply saddened to hear it was peaceful. He deserved so much more (pain)

The Daily Mail weirdly referred to the comment as “trolling,” but you can’t troll someone who’s dead.
Guardian disowns writer Karen Geier who trolled Duke of Edinburgh by saying she was 'saddened' to hear his death was 'peaceful' https://t.co/iI6yU9ZJX6

This was not trolling, it would be described as “publicly wishing torture or other violent death on an old man because of his race and social status.” It’s actually a really extreme thing for a supposed professional to do.
Some weird replies.
yea because the mocking of someone's death is perfectly fine. please seek help. it's not normal for people to say or do things like this.

YES, we should mock the death of every racist pedophile

One wonders very much if anonymous leftist Twitter accounts are not literally ALL run by intelligence agencies for the purpose of giving positive feedback to extreme anti-social behavior.
She was in the comments defending a call for a violent death of the prince by saying that he’d said something mean.
to die at 99 never having worked a day in my life? ok

She also claimed to have a right to wish violent death on men because she has a uterus (which is utterly transphobic).
ok keep yelling at women online. it definitely makes you look like the better person

(Dear male-feminist neo-Nazi readers: no, she’s not secretly Jewish. She is an Aryan Princess. APs are a very specific kind of sadistic.)
Charlie Hebdo is still making the same jokes. Please note that when I cut out some of the more vulgar humor on the site last year, I was thinking in part of these guys, and not wanting to be in my sixties making the same jokes.

I weighed in on Phil’s demise very briefly, posting what seemed like a relevant quote for the age.
A reader, I think very funnily, said:
Watch out for a virulent ‘new strain’ of covid appearing soon, they will name it ‘SARS-PHILIP3.
The ultimate fact of the matter is that this was a blatant situation of a bunch of people trying to take a political stand on the death of a man who was fundamentally apolitical.
It’s a gross situation. Everything in society is tainted.
No one cares about this guy, but they’re just taking the news and finding a reason to talk about how they hate whites.
But there was one group of people who truly mourned Philip’s death.
A tribe living on a remote South Pacific Island who believe Prince Philip is their god and the incarnation of a volcano spirit are devastated over his death and have started a ritualistic mourning process that could last for weeks.
The Yaohnanen tribesmen and women on the Vanuatu island of Tanna had been asleep when the Duke of Edinburgh’s death was announced to the world on Friday night and were up early to harvest yams the following morning.
They were not aware of the tragic news until a woman from a nearby resort told them when they returned from their work on Saturday afternoon.
The tribe’s sorrow was immediately evident as women burst into tears and heartbroken men fell silent as they tried to comfort their children.
Mary Niere, who works as an accountant at the White Grass Ocean Resort and Spa, told Daily Mail Australia the village was mostly empty when she arrived but there was an elderly man sitting at the nakamal – where the men meet and drink cava.
‘When I told him he was shocked and asked if I was telling the truth because he couldn’t believe it,’ she said.
Why would she tell them this?
Stupid bitch never would even have thought “maybe I should keep this to myself.”
‘They had to send messages to the yam garden to get the people back and when the chief (Charlie) came and everyone found out. They were very, very sad.
‘The men were silent and looking down. Many of the women were very emotional and crying a lot.’
Ms Niere said ritualistic wailing is a traditional custom on the island for those dealing with immense grief and could last for weeks.
For decades, the 400-strong community has worshipped Prince Philip, praying everyday that he would protect their banana and yam crops.
It’s not entirely clear how the Prince, who never visited the island, came to be seen as a deity.
It’s believed tribesmen had seen large portraits of him with Queen Elizabeth when they visited Port Vila in the 1960s, and impressed that he had married a ‘powerful white queen’ on the other side of the world, started to believe he was the incarnation of a volcano spirit who would one day return to Tanna.
The closest the Duke came to the island was during a trip to the capital Port Vila in 1974. Back then Vanuatu was an Anglo-French colony named New Hebrides.
During the royal visit a warrior from Tanna named Chief Jack Naiva, and others, paddled 240km (150 miles) in a canoe to the capital to greet Prince Phillip as he disembarked the royal yacht Britannia.
From there, the Prince’s godlike status became even more cemented after Chief Naiva became convinced the Duke was sent from the heavens to protect the island and bring its people good fortune.
Inhabitants even speculated the divine intervention of Prince Philip helped to get Barack Obama – a black man – elected President of the United States in 2008, author Matthew Baylis revealed in his book about the Yaohnanen.
They also praised him for keeping cyclones away.
Ten thousand miles away in England, Prince Philip was well aware of the Yaohnanen’s admiration for him.
Over the years he sent framed photographs of himself which were turned into a shrine at the village.
In a bizarre series of events, the Yaohnanen sent the Duke a traditional war club called a nal-nal used for hunting pigs and requested that Prince Philip take a picture with it.
The Duke obliged and snapped a photo with their cherished weapon but reportedly asked aids ‘how on earth does one hold a nal-nal?’ before posing with the deadly club.
The Palace sent the photograph across the world to Tanna in 1980 where it has been treated as a sacred item ever since.
Chief Charlie is now set to organise a traditional feast and ceremony to mourn Prince Philip’s death.
The tribe had hoped the Prince would visit the island before his death but now they are certain his spirit will make its way to Tanna.
‘The ladies will come together and get some local food and then they will prepare lap-lap – pig that’s cooked underground in banana leaves,’ Ms Niere said.
‘Men will bring cava and in the afternoon they will all eat it and share it together.’
Lap-lap is good as hell, frankly.
These people might be dumb as heck, but they know how to cook a piece of pig.
So what is even going on here?
Why did this guy have this tribe of savages worshiping him?
Clearly, someone created this situation on purpose.
Did he think it gave him some kind of powers?
Or is it just a joke?
Either way, you’d think this would clear him of racism charges.
Nigel Farage should fly this tribe to London to defend the name of the Prince against these white women.
