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..
Karma is a lie white people tell themselves so they can continue to believe there's justice in this world.
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.
We seriously need a King Ralph type thing to happen
More like King Louis XVI type thing to happen
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
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.
It's costs too much to heat. You can build a modern structure with less money.

King Ralph.
Now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
A long time.
What exactly do you hate about him? Is it his stance on climate change or the Prince Trust maybe? The Royal family are an important source of culture, tourism, and soft power when the UK’s overseas influence is waning. What good to you think will come of getting rid of them?
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..
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.
Will it also become a Holiday or is he not that cool?
So brave and controversial of you to pretend he's just a random man
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
I care, I don't like him and like the chance to cheer for the cancer
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 *
Oh his death bed "but mummy I want to be king!"
It is nevertheless another human you are talking about.
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 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....
I'll save my empathy for cancer patients who don't have his history.
Damn straight. Eat the rich and royalty.
Sympathy can be found between shit and syphilis in the dictionary
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...
You’ve got to be kidding me. Is it corruption or stupidity? As in, are they selling vials of contaminated water as medicine or are they just known to trust pseudoscience?
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.
i mean one of king charles issues has been furthering cancer research....
Oh no... anyway...
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)
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
What I read said it wasn't prostate cancer, but also wouldn't say what cancer it was.
I would think colon cancer then. They "found" it during prostate exam. So same area.
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...
He's still pretty far down the overall list though
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monarchs_in_Britain_by_length_of_reign
Would be weird for the longest serving monarch to be replaced by the shortest serving one.
That makes a lot of sense actually. Elizabeth II cut into his time.
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.
Jesus, lemmy is full of hate
I have 0 sympathy for monarchial families living off the backs of UK taxpayers for... Centuries :|
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.
Do you want a list of the atrocities committed by the English monarchy?
Hate for this family is deserved
I'm listening ... 🍿
Please for the love of anything you love stop crying for monarchists and bring back the guillotine. For FUCKS SAKE YOU'RE LITERALLY THINKING LIKE A MIDDLE AGES SERF. GOD EMPEROR SHIT RIGHT HERE
If any of you fucking liberals ever say ANYTHING about communist countries having cults of personality I'm going to haul ass and personally take shits inside your house that will leave you confused for years to come
....Cup of tea, sir?
That's quite the hot take.
I dislike the royals, but ultimately any person suffering with cancer is deserving of sympathy.
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.
for this guy, who leeches off the work of real human beings and hides child rapists from justice? absolutely, my hate for him is a source of strength and pride, I'm glad to have it on display.
Yeah the news and world news subs really took a tumble of late. I came for some modicum of intellectual debate, but it's a shame how quickly that derails.
Most subs seem to be afflicted.
So if he croaks and his brother and sister and niece and her fried Stacie all croak, who's going to be kind? You guess it! Rufus the cat.
Remember all the circlejerking about how Lemmy was kinder than Reddit? Nah it's the same maybe worse, with a heavy heaping of communism sprinkled in.
I think it's because we are in .ml and the Hexbears are allowed in here
all royalty are bastards
...ARAB?
Except Souphanouvong of Laos, he was cool. Pu-Yi after getting a real job of gardener also could count.
I just got my first Chucky Buck this weekend, we can’t switch to a new currency this quickly! Our economy is in shambles!
See mate, the mint make a profit on money, do you think it costs £50 to run off one of them little plastic things.
Edit: just realised you were one of our dear Canadian brethren. See hoser, the Canadian mint make a profit on money, you think it costs a loonie to strike of them little metal things?
Sadly the Canadian mint takes a loss on every coin and bill. Every $50 note they create actually costs about $65 (with the tip).
oh no anyway
but in all seriousness I hope he dies that guy is a piece of shit
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.
...zzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Has anyone wished good luck to the cancer yet?
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?
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?
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
Hmm, which king William will William be?
The one from Epstein Island
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.
Could this new development mean that it is possible that his reign may not be a bit shorter than his mother's?
I dunno if we want to see a 142 year old Charles. We saw how decrepit Phillip looked by the 2000s, and then in 2021. Imagine what another 40 years will do on top of that.
Never mind the cancer. That old building speaks?!
If that building could talk it would say some incredibly disturbing things.
With as much as the White House and Number 10 speak, this surprises you?
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
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.
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.
I can't wait to be smoking on that king pack. #RipBozo meme is locked and loaded.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The type of cancer has not been revealed, but according to a palace statement the King began "regular treatments" on Monday.
Buckingham Palace says the King "remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible".
He will postpone his public engagements and it is expected other senior royals will help to stand in for him during his treatment.
The King, 75, returned to London from Sandringham in Norfolk on Monday morning and the palace says he has commenced treatment as an outpatient.
Although he will pause his public events, the King will continue with his constitutional role as head of state, including paperwork and private meetings.
UK figures suggest, on average each year, more than a third (36%) of new cancer cases were in people aged 75 and over.
The original article contains 280 words, the summary contains 139 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Oh no.
Anyways
Abolish the monarchy!
Darn, I was hoping for a car crash
Liberté, Egalité, Chemotherapé!
So, Harry is next in line, right?
/s
I’m just fucking.
i wasn't aware cancer could get cancer.
