Not really a meme, I know, but I thought this was amazing and worth sharing and I didn’t know where else to share it on Lemmy.

Ursula LeGuin was an incredible person and, although she did live a long life, her death was still a huge loss.

While true on paper, they don’t have any actual power here.

Inertia.

Also while a wealthy family enterprise, they neither

  • a) rule over any nation(s)
  • b) receive any authority through divine appointment

It’s actually a huge step down from the kind of power royalty used to enjoy.
