Even before Queen Elizabeth II was officially confirmed dead, her haters were dancing on her grave. We're not just talking random Twitter users, but a verified professor, Uju Anya of Carnegie Mellon, as our friends at Twitchy highlighted throughout Thursday. While many current and former world leaders, including from the United States, have sent their condolences, those Australian politician Mehreen Faruqi's rang hollow, as she brought up colonization in a tweet, and then restricted replies.
Then there's the media. The New York Times even had an op-ed ready to go criticizing the queen after her death, this one by Harvard's Professor Maya Jasanoff. They were thoroughly criticized on Twitter for such timing.
When it comes to Professor Anya's tweets, we're not just talking about how she wished suffering on the queen, which she did, something Jeff Bezos was shocked and appalled enough about to weigh in on. That tweet in question was bad enough for Twitter to take down, though as Kyle Becker pointed out, it was because Twitter acknowledged it was making the left look bad, and should thus have been left up.
The tweet in question read "I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating."

The irony that they were all written in English, instead of carved in some long forgotten dirt animal drawing.
I'm kinda surprised. If anyone approved of Royal Succession to the Throne (House of Clinton, House of Obama, House of Kennedy) I'd think it would be the editorial board of the New York Times.
I’m sure she would have been much happier as a subject of the Zulu Empire.
She could have been one of Shaka’s slave-wives.
This censorship has to stop. Leave the tweets up. It’s up to people to make a decision on what’s garbage and what’s not. Let the author stand behind his/her words and be judged accordingly.
“Honi soit qui mal y pense”
Engraved right on the Shield of the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.
Literally translated, “Shame be to him who thinks evil of it”
I have to say that I speak ill of the Professors, Politicians and the New York Times.
The irony is that Nelson Mandela and many other African and Caribbean leaders thought highly of QE II. I guess these hateful idiots of today know better, though.
These subhumans need to understand that using the English language is cultural appropriation. Wearing clothe is too.
To every thing there is a season, turn, turn, turn. A time to criticize a dead person and a time not to criticize a dead person.
These are miserable, unhappy people who have always been that way and they wish to drag as many people into the mire with them as they can.
Currently house sitting at my friends’ in Hong Kong before I leave for good. Their live in Filipina helper’s boyfriend is staying as well.
Dude is Bangladeshi. Super nice guy. He’s Muslim. Loved the Queen, thinks that Jesus is coming back soon and drinks beers with me.
My kind of guy.
Please parents don’t send your child to these ridiculous indoctrination camps that cost a small fortune.
We’ve got one or two Elizabeth haters right here on FR.....
The Marxist doctrine - all history and tradition must be destroyed.
Well anti-kingdom/queendom types at least.
Most empires or kingdoms waged war, took slaves, slaughtered populations and colonized other peoples. Those that didn’t, were too weak.
Hating someone today for things that everyone did decades ago, is insane.
Actually, they hate all countries where Whites dominate, and the past is just an excuse for their hate.
Good one
but if you call them what they are, you will get cancelled...
The accusation that Queen Elizabeth was responsible in any way for establishing or maintaining British colonialism displays ignorance of her presumed “power”. Her role was purely ceremonial as she was a mere figurehead and had no policy making power.
