Who cares about this random man having cancer?
So brave and controversial of you to pretend he’s just a random man
So brave and controversial for you to be eating downvotes for not being in the hivemind
Hmm…
But he literally is an ordinary guy. The most consequential thing he has ever done with his life is to be born into an arbitrarily special family where he lived in luxury and prominence for no other reason than he continued existing. He is nothing more than an ordinary guy with extraordinary luck.
Luck or not he is the king, so he’s not just a random guy. Pretending to not undeerstand that fact just to make a point adds nothing to the discussion
When he dies the UK will spend around $300 milion on his funeral and a party for his kid.
Will it also become a Holiday or is he not that cool?
Fuck the monarchy. Fucking parasites.
Unelected sponges, as Bill Bailey once put it
I care, I don’t like him and like the chance to cheer for the cancer
Oh man, he only just got his dream job.
Nah, he was doing his dream job the whole time, running a research farm and advocating for sustainable farming practices. Soon as he became king, he had to stop with the targeted advocacy.
he also advocated for homoeopathy…maybe that’s what he’ll treat his cancer with (i hope so)
I recently got the side-eye from a lot of people because I said that homeopathy is not the same as natural remedies.
What’s unnatural about water?
It’s not that there’s anything unnatural about water. It’s just not a remedy for anything but dehydration.
Ah the Steve Jobs treatment method, maybe he’ll adopt the fruit diet. Shame Harry gave up his claim, he seemed like the one with Lizzie’s spirit
Oh no. A rich person with access to the best medical care in the world is sick. What ever will we do.
Has anyone wished good luck to the cancer yet?
Bro please go outside, go for a walk or something
Maybe you should go wash your mouth after all the bootlicking.
The guy was born into an anachronistic system where he has had absolute privilege and his family indulged in political interference (a lot to their own benefit) despite claiming to just be impartial figureheads.
Last summer a football player had to campaign to keep free school meals going through the summer so millions of kids in poverty could fucking eat.
So what if some privilege cunt has arse cancer?
born into Key piece of info here. Not like he had a choice, was there?
Lmfao apparently it’s “bootlicking” to point out a criminally online take. I, for one, don’t think people should be judged based on circumstances out of their control, like where or when they were born. There are plenty of reasons to dislike the dude, like no really there are so god damn many, but him being born into it is not one of them.
I’m not even saying you shouldn’t be pleased to see his death, just that making jokes about the suffering that occurs from cancer is a take so distant from reality of course you’ll only see it online. If you are genuinely pleased by hearing about someone’s cancer diagnosis, you should really do some self evaluation.
If you think him dying from that will purge the UK of the monarchy, I have a bridge to sell you. There are actual things you could do to help end it, the original comment I replied to isn’t one.
I have… I have also bribed the cancer, and I have also started to write the chant. I am thinking of doing a remix of the catchy Lizzie’s in a box with a Charley’s in a box but leaving the rest the same. I also think once he is gone the guy who got banned from having eggs in public in the UK should be allowed to have eggs agian.
What’s that story about eggs?
To summarize, a man Patrik Thelwell threw an egg in the general direction of Charley, the court ordered a 500 m restraining order (I will agree perfectly reasonable) from Charles and his wife, and the other is he is banned from publicly possessing eggs. That was late 2022, early 2023 he was arrested on suspicion carrying eggs. They also alegedly have counter terrorism following them.
I understand that all in all this is quaint considering what the US would do if for example eggs where thrown in the direction of Joe Biden, Offically the sentence was a year of community service (along with the no eggs and restraining order) but it still seems beyond rediculous. and I would say what the US would do is incredably extreme. The restraining order and Community service would have been sufficent
With the UK’s Chief Executive and thought leader incapacitated Scotland should declare independence.
Issue is, I do not think they are going for a Scottish Republic unfortunately.
It will be so funny if he takrs a sharp turn downhill and dies. Dude was famous for never getting a chance to be king and then to go out so quickly would be * chef’s kiss *
Imagine anyone saying that about one of your family members.
Imagine anyone saying that about one of your morally-bankrupt, billionaire, pedophile, mass-murdering, genocide-supporting, colonialist, cartoonishly-evil family members.
It’s okay to wish bad things happen to a monarch billionaire landlord, actually. It’s good and rad.
it’s okay if my family members die shortly after becoming king of england
If I ever have a golden piano while someone on the planet goes cold and hungry at night you can draw and quarter me.
I’m rich! See ya later suckers, I’m subscribing to Lemmy Deluxe Edition!
Oh his death bed “but mummy I want to be king!”
It is nevertheless another human you are talking about.
Nah.
Barely.
Do you think they have any compassion for the random proles like us? Like they could divest themselves of wealth to help people, and just live luxurious lives instead of gold flakes in food lives.
I think any human being with enough compassion to deserve treatment as anything more than a hostile enemy would do that
I think they’d have compassion enough to not laugh at somebody’s cancer diagnosis, yes.
I’m all for disliking the institution. Doesn’t mean I think he deserves to have cancer or it would be funny if he died.
Good for you, you get a good start for morality then
He literally chooses every single day to actively ignore the plight of the people he claims to rule. He does nothing
Every single day he actively chooses to ignore suffering, probably even cracks jokes about it, while actively working to preserve his enormous privilege and protect his kin from facing consequences for their heinous actions. He stands at the head of an institution of violence, racism, cruelty, and exploitation and every single moment of his life he chooses to side with that over any earnest attempt to redeem their reputation.
The entire justification for their privilege is so insane it makes phrenology look respectable.
He is horrible, he could help so many people with a few words and the equivalent of pocket change but he chooses not to for fear of starting a process that ends with him living as one of the ordinary citizens he claims to protect. It’s fucking bananas that you think there is some moral reasons to extend civility to such a monsterous person.
If you think I’m defending the monarchy, think again. I’m defending compassion.
It’s not brave or noble to police expressions of anger at oppressors it’s just foolish. It won’t make society better, civility is just a tool the powerful use to enforce the status quo.
He chooses to let someone starve over feeding them, this is fine a civil behavior. I call him a fucking cunt for doing that and wish death upon him and this is uncivil behaviour and I lack compassion? nonsense, it is compassion that fills me with rage.
So, Harry is next in line, right?
/s
I’m just fucking.
Oh no.
AnywaysBecomes king
Fucking dies
Lmaooo
And least he got to be king first :P
I haven’t seen any new coins yet with his face on it. It may be the shortest run of coins with a new face. I’ve had the same face on my coins for my entire life, these will be the first with a new one.
Shortest run was probably Edward VIII. My dad found a coin with Charles’s face on it. I also bought a few commemoratives. I think it’ll probably start appearing on £1 coins soon as they are the newest
English taxpayers paying for another coronation ceremony be like: 🥶*
* can’t pay to heat their house.
Don’t knock it, we get a day off when they die and a day off when we get a new one.
Sometimes we get a day off when they’ve been on the throne for a set number of years.
So for that reason I’d like to keep them.
Give us two extra bank holidays a year, and you can King Ralph all these motherfuckers.
I mean, it did bring more money into the economy than it took out of it, same with Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, so we could profit off of this
oh no anyway
but in all seriousness I hope he dies that guy is a piece of shit
When I signed up here, I genuinely thought this place was going to be better than Reddit. Seeing the difference in comments here and on Reddit for this exact same piece of news, just made me realise that this place is a piece of shit with absolutely zero empathy for anyone.
No one voted for the wanker, but we still have to pay to keep him and his incestous kin in riches while our fellow countrymen starve in the street.
He wants pity, he should abandon this hereditary rule bullshit and take all those unelected peers up in parliament with him back to the medieval age where they belong.
Damn redditors actually have a correct opinion on the most basic thing?
Well shit, broken clocks and all that
Reading is hard apparently. I said the difference in comments between here and reddit, meaning what I saw over there was NOT people wishing for his death.
Common Reddit L
“Could it be that the zero empathy is because the man is reviled globally for good reasons?”
“No, it’s the colonized who are wrong.”
give us one singular solitary good reason we should have empathy for this decrepit, cheating, silver spoon mouthed, tax leeching, sex pest, waste of money and attention
He’s about to prove homeopathy really works. He’s going to change the world for the better.
king charlie plz notice me uwu
If this was a gay asylum seeking Guatemalan Muslim woman union leader we’d probably react differently, so you’re wrong about that.
Not so, we have plenty of empathy for those who actually deserve it.
Palestine will be free, long live the PFLP, long live Ansar Allah, full support to the DPRK in it’s quest to free their southern siblings from beneath the heel of the genocidal American empire.
I understand your frustration but I fail to understand why the need of empathy for a monarch of all people
Nah its just a leftist echo chamber. They have sympathy for the working class, but are very prejudiced against the wealthy. Personally, I would guess Charles is a decent human being, like most people. Im sure hes done some shitty things over the course of a long and extremely public life, but pretty much everyone has. I disagree with the concept of royalty but that doesn’t mean I want all monarchs to drop dead. Not a lot of nuance on Lemmy.
Imagine pearl clutching for some ancient inbred royal dipshit. Literal medieval peasant brain. “Oh no won’t someone think of the million year old pervert who lived a long life full of luxury one can barely begin to comprehend” Fuck him, fuck his whole family, I hope every single royal gets aggressive untreatable cancer, that’s better than they deserve.
TL,DR:
I didn’t vote for him!Holy fucking shit, triggered much little bro?
Mainly confused and surprised someone would support a monarch in the 21st century. You don’t even have the excuse that the queen has been in charge for your whole life so you feel obligated to support her out of a misplaced sense of loyalty or something. Some ancient failson gets to sit in a golden chair and you can’t lick his boots fast enough. It’s pathetic, you aren’t even worshiping someone who can claim they got to where they are on personal merit, he just had to wait for his mom to die and he almost couldn’t even do that! Monarchy is such a farce, I’d be embarrassed to support that shit
Sure seems to have hit a nerve with you.
Charlie is never gonna fuck you.
made me realise that this place is a piece of shit with absolutely zero empathy for anyone.
Is every person the king of england or how do you get to this conclusion?
The redditors got it right for once?
Why would you have empathy for monarchs? It’s the ultimate form of nepotism, believing that they can rule an entire country because of their bloodline. If they don’t abdicate the throne and dissolve the institution, they don’t deserve respect.
The redditors didn’t agree with wishing death upon the man, no. It was the exact opposite from what I saw.
Probably just the anglo intelligence assets that pass for moderators over there removed all the cool comments. What can you do
Redditors habitually wish death upon homeless people and porch pirates, of course they bootlick monarchs too.
Based on what specific actions? Just curious
He was close friends with two high profile pedophiles. That’s enough for me.
Yeah, hot take, but he’s underrated. Monarchy is dumb but at least this guy is progressive and personally kind.
Personally kind enough to publicly carry on an affair for years
Just sounds like a rich dude to me. Like, I think this is the main reason he’s unpopular, but aristos often keep a harem and Diana herself seems overrated.
We all gotta get some
Him and his current wife visibly mocked Inuit throat singers and have a long history of being childish and rude during events that are supposed to honor them. Personally kind to whom?
Did he? I didn’t know about that. So, white people then.
- He’s a Royal.
Oh no… anyway…
Our royalty are really just diplomats with better PR and a lot less privacy. Poor guy just lost his mum, now he’s got cancer - I hope he recovers.
He will receive better healthcare than 99% of the population after living a life drenched in privilege.
My sympathies lie elsewhere
I mean, I also feel sympathy for you.
There is a lot of hate there, and someone/something must have really hurt you to make you feel that someone deserves cancer because they’ve had money in their life.
I hope whatever you’re going through gets better, that whatever has happened in the past becomes more distant, and that today is a lucky day for you.
It’s a bit harsh to put such words in their mouth. They said their sympathies lie elsewhere, not that he deserved it.
You know sympathy isn’t rationed, right?
Yes, he’s lined in unbelievable privilege. Yes, he’ll get the best care available. Yes, it is reasonable to believe and campaign for the monarchy to be abolished.
But this is still a man who has been diagnosed with cancer. For anyone, that is a scary and upsetting diagnosis and, upon hearing about it, it is only reasonable to feel sympathy for that person.
Don’t even bother. No one here cares. They want him and his entire family to die horribly.
I hope he makes a full recovery, but you know, the jokes write themselves.
Now is the time for Scotland and Wales to declare independence and join the EU. It would be hilarious.
It’s a bummer that his reign may not last long enough for the British to decide that maybe a king is a bad idea.
Do you by chance know how popular the next guy is?
It isn’t. Our head of state is a kind old man while most other countries have some form of psychopath
…zzzzzzzzzzzzz…
