So why are we, an independent nation, continuing to celebrate and honor such a vile establishment? Why do we need some fake recognition from a vile empire.
Our ancestors once roamed freely on this land until the ships landed on our shores univited. They said, in the name of the King, they discovered a land and called it a colony to the empire. But there were people already living on that land idiots, this isn't Mars, its the home of indigenous people who own that land as their home.
These empires came in, stole all our resources and rare earth minerals, used locals as cheap labor for the farms and industries, killed our people for unintended mistakes like not making their cup of tea properly, etc. They literally looted and plundered all that was valuable only to enrich the wealth of their monarch.
Thus, honoring the King’s Birthday or getting the knighthood or some useless medals from that same vile empire is another unwanted reminder of colonial rule. We shouldn't be honoring anything about this monarch, but yet we continue to attach ourselves to this bafoonery. We should be celebrating their deaths instead because that is a good reminder of how bad colonialism was. The death of Queen Elizabeth should now be a holiday.
Besides, we don't get anything from being a member of the Commonwealth except some meaningless medals and unnecessary titles to some gullible individuals. We call ourselves members of the Commonwealth, but the actual wealth is not equal. There is a massive gap between our level of poverty and their wealth, so what makes us common in wealth? Very stupid of us still calling ourselves common wealth.
50 years of longlong is enough. At this anniversary, PNG should now cut off any resemblance of this imperial monstrosity.
