all royalty are bastards
…ARAB?
Except Souphanouvong of Laos, he was cool. Pu-Yi after getting a real job of gardener also could count.
Abolish the monarchy!
Oh no.
Anywaysi wasn’t aware cancer could get cancer.
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.
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).
Wait, we’re supposed to be tipping?
Darn, I was hoping for a car crash
So, Harry is next in line, right?
/s
I’m just fucking.

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’s a Royal.
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.
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, just white people then.
Personally kind enough to publicly carry on an affair for years
We all gotta get some
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.

king charlie plz notice me uwu
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.
“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.”
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.

Redditors habitually wish death upon homeless people and porch pirates, of course they bootlick monarchs too.
Probably just the anglo intelligence assets that pass for moderators over there removed all the cool comments. What can you do
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?
If this was a gay asylum seeking Guatemalan Muslim woman union leader we’d probably react differently, so you’re wrong about that.
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!deleted by creator
Charlie is never gonna fuck you.
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

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.
Damn redditors actually have a correct opinion on the most basic thing?
Well shit, broken clocks and all that

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.
I understand your frustration but I fail to understand why the need of empathy for a monarch of all people
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 *
It is nevertheless another human you are talking about.
Barely.
Nah.
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.

It’s okay to wish bad things happen to a monarch billionaire landlord, actually. It’s good and rad.

If I ever have a golden piano while someone on the planet goes cold and hungry at night you can draw and quarter me.
Oh his death bed “but mummy I want to be king!”
Sick speedrun strat
Oh no. A rich person with access to the best medical care in the world is sick. What ever will we do.
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

That makes a lot of sense actually. Elizabeth II cut into his time.
With the UK’s Chief Executive and thought leader incapacitated Scotland should declare independence.
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.
It isn’t. Our head of state is a kind old man while most other countries have some form of psychopath
