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.

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.

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

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.

I’m rich! See ya later suckers, I’m subscribing to Lemmy Deluxe Edition!

it’s okay if my family members die shortly after becoming king of england

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

He’s got a cool hat. He doesn’t wear it much, but he has it. That’s what matters.

Nothing is cool about this fucking family

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

1. He’s a Royal.

“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.

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!

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?

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.

Damn redditors actually have a correct opinion on the most basic thing?

Well shit, broken clocks and all that

If this was a gay asylum seeking Guatemalan Muslim woman union leader we’d probably react differently, so you’re wrong about that.

give us one singular solitary good reason we should have empathy for this decrepit, cheating, silver spoon mouthed, tax leeching, sex pest, waste of money and attention

king charlie plz notice me uwu

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.

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.

I understand your frustration but I fail to understand why the need of empathy for a monarch of all people

So you’re saying there’s hope?

Don’t knock it, we get a day off when they die and a day off when we get a new one.

Sometimes we get a day off when they’ve been on the throne for a set number of years.

So for that reason I’d like to keep them.

Give us two extra bank holidays a year, and you can King Ralph all these motherfuckers.

I mean, it did bring more money into the economy than it took out of it, same with Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, so we could profit off of this

Shortest run was probably Edward VIII. My dad found a coin with Charles’s face on it. I also bought a few commemoratives. I think it’ll probably start appearing on £1 coins soon as they are the newest

Don’t give the pedo any ideas

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!
