Chapter 102 - A bit of geopolitics
I always loved geopolitics.
And by always, I mean exactly that. One of my oldest memories is about watching the news on TV trying to understand one of those wars of the Middle East. I was about 4 years old at the time.
So yes, I always loved it. I would dive deep into textbooks on history and geopolitics even for classes that were advanced for my age.
That was the reason I became a Social Anthropologist, after all. I wanted to understand humanity, society, and all that makes us what we are.
And one of the things I loved the most in geopolitics was, of course, to give my own opinion and say how people in positions of power should handle stuff.
How ironic it is that I find myself in this position now. A princess in line for the crown of an important country.
Third in line, okay, but still in line.
And yet, I refuse it. I don’t want it.
It isn’t like I don’t want power or don’t want to try to rights some wrongs...
The crux of the problem lies in the Church, the slavery system, and the structural racism. There is so much going wrong in this world that I don’t think a queen of humans could ever fix.
It isn’t a theocratic society, far from it, but the Church holds a lot of sway in how things should be and what the government should do.
