I did not know much about Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, before I moved to Australia and watched The Young Ones.

I am glad I got to live in a country that respected her.

She had been Queen since 1952. God save the King.

An example of liberal ethics being taught in America's taxpayer funded universities. I hope everyone is happy to dish out $20k/year in tuition to allow their children to learn from this high class liberal scholar. Maybe that's why we need to coerce taxpayers into paying for college. I can't imagine even liberals would pay for this kind of garbage out of pocket.


‘May Her Pain Be Excruciating:’ Carnegie Mellon Prof Uju Anya Wishes Death on ‘Wretched Woman’ Queen Elizabeth II

Carnegie Mellon University professor Uju Anya reacted to the news of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II suffering from poor health shortly before her death on Thursday by calling her a “wretched woman” and a “genocidal colonizer” who is “the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire,” adding, “May her pain be excruciating.”

“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating,” professor Anya tweeted on Thursday. She later deleted the tweet after backlash.

In a follow-up tweet, the professor wrote, “That wretched woman and her bloodthirsty throne have screwed generations of my ancestors on both sides of the family, and she supervised a government that sponsored the genocide my parents and siblings survived.”

“May she die in agony,” she added.

In response to a Twitter user who wrote, “Why are you wishing our one and only queen Elizabeth dead?” professor Anya said, “I’m not wishing her dead. She’s dying already. I’m wishing her an agonizingly painful death like the one she caused for millions of people.”

“This kind of post is not expected from a person of your level. This is not what you say even to your worst enemy,” another Twitter user reacted.

Professor Anya responded by proclaiming, “Screw you and your deference to genocidal colonizers.”

Hours later, the official Twitter account for the Royal Family announced that Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral on Thursday at the age of 96.

Following the news of the Queen’s death, Anya took to Twitter again to reaffirm that she will not be expressing “anything but disdain” for the “monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family.”

“If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star,” she wrote.

Even Jeff Bezos seemed to recognize the professor’s tweets were of incredible poor taste.

Carnegie Mellon University did not respond to Breitbart News’ request for comment on whether professor Anya’s commentary represents the values of the university, or if students from England can expect to receive fair and equal treatment from this professor in her classroom.

The best part about this is waiting four years to see how all the crazy apocalyptic predictions made by the fear mongering idiots in Right Wing media turned out to be painfully wrong...Gasoline would hit $10/gallon. Hyperinflation would ensue.

Ajax, a death notice is not the occasion to make political screeds.

My condolences to my message board friends across the pond.

It seems (from my UK Discord friends) that she was generally very well liked and beloved.

96 years. Wow.

My sympathies go out to her family, but I have to admit a bit of shock with how big a story this seems to be. I know she was well-liked and lived a long time. Perhaps that is enough, but I find the already massive reporting on it odd. I was far more upset when David Bowie died.

Why do so many people care about England's royal family? I will never understand it. They are figureheads, little more than mascots. It's like Flo from Progressive Insurance dying. That would be sad, but international news? I find it very strange.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

It’s a bit harder to be sympathetic to professor Uju Anya when she doesn’t even tell us where or when this supposed genocide took place.
