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.
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.
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.
When I signed up here, I genuinely thought this place was going to be better than Reddit. Seeing the difference in comments here and on Reddit for this exact same piece of news, just made me realise that this place is a piece of shit with absolutely zero empathy for anyone.
"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.
The redditors didn't agree with wishing death upon the man, no. It was the exact opposite from what I saw.
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
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!
Holy fucking shit, triggered much little bro?
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
Sure seems to have hit a nerve with you.
Charlie is never gonna fuck you.
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.
If this was a gay asylum seeking Guatemalan Muslim woman union leader we'd probably react differently, so you're wrong about that.
Damn redditors actually have a correct opinion on the most basic thing?
Well shit, broken clocks and all that
Reading is hard apparently. I said the difference in comments between here and reddit, meaning what I saw over there was NOT people wishing for his death.
Common Reddit L
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
He's about to prove homeopathy really works. He's going to change the world for the better.
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.
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.
I understand your frustration but I fail to understand why the need of empathy for a monarch of all people
