    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.

            Anyone who looks closely enough can still see the wealth of the atrocities of our ancestors. So is that a yes? Is it infinite?

              Don’t exactly need a microscope to see the wealth of the royal family and you can dedicate an entire museum to the atrocities they comitted to grow it.

              You really want someone to say “infinite” though. Do you have a point riding on it?
