Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, 1909

Survived to be 80 and died in 1980
Her daughter went on to marry into the Greek royal family and become queen one generation before the Greek monarchy was dissolved by referendum.
Unfortunately her husband gave money to the nazis and her eldest son served in the Nazi Amy. She herself was probably a Nazi sympathizer at best but I'm not a historian. Royalty being problematic is disappointing but not shocking.
Great photo and interesting historical figure!

This is why you can't make money mining gold either. When companies mine gold it just drives down the price of gold so they get no money while also causing hyper inflation. This is why no one has ever bothered to mine gold.

Why are you taking shots at one of the least awful American presidents? Where is your hatred for Buchanan who preceded him and could have done it sooner or Johnson who followed him and could have done more? Lincoln was assassinated before the civil war was even over and never had a chance to oppose Jim crow.

If you were a real leftist and not just a troll you'd pick a fight with someone who did real harm rather than the rare American president who actually did some good.

I thought this had to be an oversimplification because wtf? So I looked it up. You were essentially completely correct. The only two details that I might add are that she reinstated the sikh bodyguards because she didn't want to look anti-sikh (the massacre of civilians and desecration of holy sites was fine??? But firing her bodyguards wasn't????) and that the assassins literally just waited for her to walk past them and shot her. It was barely an assassination and almost suicide by sikh. She had been told to wear a bulletproof vest since the massacre and chose not to anyway.

So respectfully, nearly all of these same points about the product being taken could just as easily apply to plants. The chilli pepper plant does not give us peppers willingly and is also exploited and this all comes at the cost of it reproducing.
