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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

[–] 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.

Thx :)

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.

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

Fair enough!
