King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

The same as religion, it all irritates me.

We MAKE justice happen, there is no universal cop.

Which is good because acab.

i dont think that one comes from white people

Karma is historically used and very insidious tool to keep the poor people poor and rich people rich.

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

But he was only happy for a second and since they believe in karma, now they aren't happy. Nobody said no take backs so they're probably good.

The Royal family are an important source of culture, tourism, and soft power

The Royal family isnt an important source of tourism.

What good to you think will come of getting rid of them?

We'd become a proper modern country where the person who represents the nation is chosen by the nation? We'd move on from a system where who's up front simply depends on who their mum or dad were? We'd rid ourselves of a system trained with centuries of imperial exploitation, racism and subjugation? We'd open up new tourism opportunities, with the palaces and castles being available for anyone to visit, a la Versailles?

And that's just off the top of my head.

The UK truly is in shambles if their tourism industry and culture depend on a cabal of ghouls siphoning vast amounts of wealth from the people purely for show.

Personally, I like to think the people of the UK have a lot more to them than their vestigial rulers.

You think no tourist will go to see the palace if the inbreeds don't exist anymore?

i actively want the UKs overseas influence to wane

Feel free to educate yourself bootlicker, I'll even start you off, but I don't have the energy this evening to invest in someone with their head that deep up the ass of the establishment stomping an all our necks..

Fuck the monarchy. Fucking parasites.

Will it also become a Holiday or is he not that cool?

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.

So brave and controversial for you to be eating downvotes for not being in the hivemind

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

Barely.

Nah.

I'll save my empathy for cancer patients who don't have his history.

The water/solvent isn't even contaminated. It is deluted so thoroughly, you can't even find a single molecule of whatever ingredient is supposed to show any effect.

It's hypocrisy and the typical rich bozo alienation syndrome, they have easy and unlimited access to best medicine in the world, so it's easy to forget that others don't and promote charlatanerie. It could also be malicious if we look at how they don't do anything against gutting the healthcare.

he also advocated for homoeopathy......maybe that's what he'll treat his cancer with (i hope so)

He was close friends with two high profile pedophiles. That's enough for me.

1. He's a Royal.

Yeah, hot take, but he's underrated. Monarchy is dumb but at least this guy is progressive and personally kind.

I would think colon cancer then. They "found" it during prostate exam. So same area.

So you're saying there's hope?

Don't give the pedo any ideas

Yea, I don't wish death upon the guy but come on, get a job now

it's pretty silly to say they live off the backs of uk taxpayers when royalist tourism brings in more tax revenue than anything.

The royal family brings in a net positive amount of revenue of you account for receipts from added tourism and spending. The expenses for shipping around the US President for example is another story.

I came here to say: Good take

....Cup of tea, sir?

That's quite the hot take.

Totally out of the loop on UK royalty, because they're basically just a medieval version of the Kardashians that's hung around waaaaay too long.

I was under the impression that the monarchy's power was predicated on their right to rule being divine, which could only be maintained by keeping their bloodline inbred pure.

Charles is German?

Who did what now?

I'm listening ... 🍿

I kind of think you'd have a different tune if this were Putin to be honest, wanna talk about why? In my mind, all of the appeals to civility are just status quo worship veiled in "human decency" that 1) doesn't consider the good that would be brought to the world by his passing and 2) isn't extended to anyone outside of the status quo power structure.

Most subs seem to be afflicted.

Mod! mods! These dirty anti-monarchists are ruining our civil discussion!

Sadly the Canadian mint takes a loss on every coin and bill. Every $50 note they create actually costs about $65 (with the tip).

V, for anyone wondering. And there might be a William V in Luxembourg too, so I eagerly await the two getting mixed up in amusing ways.

Or, alternatively, he could go with his "Louis" or "Arthur" middle names, which would be good for different jokes.

What's that story about eggs?

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?

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.

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.

What gave it away?

I tried to make it really obvious at the end with the "visits to Epstein island" stuff.
