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.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 13 points 9 months ago

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

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

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

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 50 points 9 months ago (6 children)

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.

Jesus man mosquitos are just trying to live, that's not a fair comparison for them

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Then tell those mosquitoes to stop flapping their wings on my ear at 5 AM.

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.

[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Swuden@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

No disagreements about about him being a prick, but wishing cancer and even death on another person seems pretty wild to me.

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Please point to where anyone wished cancer on anyone?*

Also, the fact that people don't feel sorry for the filthy rich old man getting what is almost certainly an age related disease (because it's not like he was exposed to the levels of shit food and air and stress that gives the rest of us cancer), is wild to you, but the existence of a "god appointed" ruler that leeches off of his people while they struggle to survive isn't, says a lot more about you than me not giving much of a shit does about me..

*E: you know what? Even if I had, wishing death on a person whose entire existence depends on the oppression (and death) of others on a mass, almost unimaginable scale, is still less morally repugnant than defending them. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Eat the fucking rich - they've brought it on themselves.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't think that wishing death on someone is always bad but I don't really get it for King Charles

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Y'all mother fuckers must be white as hell, then.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is anyone going to bother to explain why he's so bad?

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Here’s an article going into some of the crown’s crimes, which Charles has willingly benefitted from and continues to do so.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Thx :)

[–] UnityDevice@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago

Didn't realise I opened twitter instead of Lemmy today...

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

King Ralph.

Now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

A long time.
