    As amusing as I’d find the Dutch royal family ceasing to exist over ancestral guilt, as an anti-monarchist, I don’t know how many degrees of separation you require before an inheritance is no longer considered blood-soaked. Is it infinite?

      Why is it acceptable to you that the wealth is handed down but ludicrous that the blood is handed down with it?

      If someone became an overnight billionaire for murdering your children, how many generations of their kids driving around in Bugattis would it take for you to consider that fortune washed of its sins?

      Apparently demanding a wealthy person part with wealth is more upsetting to some people than cutting off people’s hands to acquire it.
