Sick speedrun strat
I was happy for a second and then remembered that karma is a bad take and that he will be getting the absolute best available healthcare and even if he does die, he will be doing so having gotten to old age, in extreme luxury and in more comfort than any of us will ever experience.
I worry that if he does die soon it will only embolden royalist sentiment in this country as the grieving masses will cling on to the "young king" which the media will spin as "progressive" or whatever, and we'll just keep getting further and further away from abolishing this disgusting establishment.
We seriously need a King Ralph type thing to happen, only the people take over, instead of a stereotypical American. Turn Buckingham palace in to a community centre with a kitchen and a shelter and childcare and a free mental health clinic, and put those gardens to actual use..
I can understand you wanting to abolish the royal family (I do too), but I can’t understand your hatred of him personally, to actually be happy he has cancer. He doesn’t seem like a bad/evil person to me
You don’t exterminate mosquitoes because they are evil, you get rid of them because they are parasites, unable to exist without feeding on you and your loved ones. They are disease vectors, it’s us or them.
The royal family feeds into hierarchical structures. They benefit from our subjugation. They knowingly and intentionally contribute to death and misery worldwide for their own benefit. If Charles was a decent man he’d abdicate.
If sitting on a gold throne, in a gold room, riding around in your gold carriage, covered in jewels, none of which were (or ever could be) "earned", but rather pillaged, without even knowing what a days work feels like, while the people you're parading your "god given right" to lord over, and whose wealth you hoard privately overseas, are having to choose between heating and eating as they work 3 zero hour jobs just to survive - isn't considered evil in your mind, it is your moral compass that is the problem, not me feeling momentary joy when a cancer gets cancer.
He cheated on his wife, very publicly for years. Idk about your views but maintaining a mistress immediately excludes you from being a good person. Charles was a prick for a long time before he started committing to charity, conservation, social outreach programs, etc
No disagreements about about him being a prick, but wishing cancer and even death on another person seems pretty wild to me.
Karma is a lie white people tell themselves so they can continue to believe there's justice in this world.
Who cares about this random man having cancer?
When he dies the UK will spend around $300 milion on his funeral and a party for his kid.
Fuck the monarchy. Fucking parasites.
Unelected sponges, as Bill Bailey once put it
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 *
I love the people in here standing up for him lol. An absolute fuckton of people die every day. Basically every moment has human death in it. No one defending him cares a single wit about them, but they'll get wound up over this old man dying of something many many people die of daily.
Considering everything that's come out about the royal family, I can't find a single care in me for him. I feel more for the countless faceless strangers dying worse deaths. This old pampered fuck will die well in comparison. He doesn't need any sympathy from me.
you don't have to be a royalist to feel empathy for someone with cancer....
Jesus, lemmy is full of hate
I have 0 sympathy for monarchial families living off the backs of UK taxpayers for... Centuries :|
I dislike the royals, but ultimately any person suffering with cancer is deserving of sympathy.
The royal family, including Charles are big proponents of homeopathy. Let's see how much homeopathy is going to help him now. I'm sure at least as much as those alternative methods Steve Jobs chose helped him, back then...
Oh no... anyway...
So is it the pedo next in line?
No, he's completely out of the running unless all of King Charles children and grandchildren mysteriously die
Don't give the pedo any ideas
I think it's primogeniture monarchy, so it's from parent to child. Next in line is Charles' firstborn.
~~Prostate cancer is very common, very survivable, and very easily treatable. It's a serious health problem, but he's almost definitely gonna be fine~~
Me fail reading comprehension. The article says it's NOT prostate cancer
Would be weird for the longest serving monarch to be replaced by the shortest serving one.
Which raises a good question... who was the shortest serving British monarch?
Oh, of COURSE there's a Wiki for that...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_monarchy_records
"The shortest-reigning monarch was Lady Jane Grey who ruled for 9 days from 6 July until 15 July 1553 (although she was only proclaimed queen by the Lords of the council on 10 July). Her husband Lord Guildford Dudley was her consort for the entire reign, making this the shortest tenure of the male consort of a female monarch. Note: Jane's reign is disputed.
The king with the shortest definitively known reign was Edgar the Ætheling who ruled for 2 months, 12 days in 1066 before submitting to William the Conqueror. Some records indicate that Sweyn Forkbeard reigned for only 40 days in 1013–4.[7]"
Queen Elizabeth II died 9/8/2022, so Charles has already been in 514 days. He's good...
Becomes king
Fucking dies
Lmaooo
English taxpayers paying for another coronation ceremony be like: 🥶*
* can't pay to heat their house.
oh no anyway
but in all seriousness I hope he dies that guy is a piece of shit
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
