Even weirder is that we don't know what type of cancer it is, but we know what kind it *isn't* cause they made it abundantly clear that he doesn't have prostate cancer, his prostate just happens to also be enlarged
Prince Charles*, he never showed the documentation from two different psychiatrists attesting he's actually a king instead of a prince with a fetish or a delusion. 😤
Alright, I have determined the perfect solution that will address everyone's concerns.
First, we repeal the blatantly discriminatory Act of Settlement 1701, and then we remove the House of Windsor from the throne of the United Kingdom. We then install Felipe VI of Spain on the throne, finally completing the vision of Philip II of Spain. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and El Reino de España will now be unified in a personal and real union. This will reverse Brexit, bringing the UK back into the European Union, destroy the morale of Protestant Irish Unionist who are now under a Catholic monarch, resolve what ever mess is going on in Gibraltar, promote (literal) closer ties to United Kingdom's oldest ally Portugal, provide an actual land border with France (just in case), absolutely fuck with English nationalists and most importantly, provide me with a head of state that more demographically representative of me personally instead of some old British geezer.
I will be taking no questions.
> I will be taking no questions.
The lone Hapsburg stanner in the audience: What about just inbreeding them until we have what is functionally a human pug?
I can get the idea, but who are you returning it to exactly? Like, the crown has been crafted by a jeweler in 1661, so I'd assume everyone involved and their descendants on at least 6 generations are all dead.
(I'm not defending the monarchy, it's just that talking about the origin of one piece of jewelry is kinda meaningless here)
This has the implicit bias that the government of the place represents the people, when that may not be the case. The government of the country could very well represent the interests of the local elites that were conniving with the british colonial administration. It should be returned to someone, but in the majority of cases that "someone" should not be the national government.
In this hypothetical, there has already been an attempt to find "someone". I don't think states represent their people.
Perhaps a trust held in the interest of the community that was plundered would be a better proxy.
I'm Sikh and the Kohinoor diamonds were taken from the last Sikh emperor, there's no Sikh state anymore and what was it is split between India and Pakistan, additionally the British cut the diamond into three so we can't even get it back anymore as it was, idk maybe just put it in a museum, I don't and the British monarchy to have it but I don't want to cause more conflict between India and Pakistan and the current Indian government is fascist adjacent
Good response but consider, historical artifacts belong in museums, preferably not a British one tho. Wouldn’t it be interesting to have it be a piece to talk about what monarchies do?
I think historical artifacts should be returned to where they were stolen from, but that wasn't the question. The question was:
>this isn't a rethorical question. Is there anything productive that can be done with [diamonds]?
The question itself is kind of off topic, but the answer is that diamonds as a material have uses beyond ornamentation.
the issue is how do you determine who they even belong to, considering that some (but admittedly not all) were gifts or otherwise legitimately obtained, and a lot were *pretended* to be gifts or legitimately obtained. a lot of the places artefacts are from are tribes or other societies which no-longer exist
Oh yeah fair enough lol, I mean, they’re part of a crown though as it stands, right? I mean, if the people of the culture of the land it was stolen from (I don’t know specifics, listen to what I mean not what I say here lol) want to turn it into machinery, it’s their prerogative, they should have the right. Good point.
Okay but like, the king's great-grandfather wasn't even born when those were extracted, and all the people who were even in the country when they were extracted are long dead. The crown jewels have been sculpted back in the fucking 17th century. There's a point where people stop being responsible of the crimes of their ancestors, you know?
Not to mention, the guy doesn't even have any political power. He's just another rich guy with a fancy title at this point. Whih is enough that I wouldn't be sad at all if he died, but not enough to justify wishing cancer on him.
Thanks for ignoring everything else I said and only nitpicking on a pointless distinction instead. The right-wingers back at r\\Conservative would love you, this kind of intellectual dishonesty is their favorite \^\^
Alright, what do you want me to say? He's a man of unimaginable wealth, a remote figure on a mountain of stolen gold and blood diamond, whose entire life purpose is to be the living embodiment of a state who ravaged, pillaged, slaughtered its way through roughly a third of the world, my country included. If he wants to be clothed in the sovereign glory of an Empire, the price of that is that people on the internet might be mean about him sometimes. That doesn't trouble my conscience particularly.
We did this whole bit with Lizzie. The brittish monarchy uses its celebrity status as a shield against reform and abolition. They aren't normal people, you cannot relate to them. They don't deserve your pity, for they do not pity the people they steal from.
I meant specifically against reforming and abolishing the monarchy. This goes all the way back to queen Victoria. Tom Nicolas did a good essay on it.
https://youtu.be/lEjwZbr-44k?si=fj-ZTs9TIH2xO2pc
Like when the Queen died, I just find it *weird* to celebrate rather than "distasteful", considering his death won't actually *accomplish* anything.
If he keels over the crown, and all the shitty things associated with him like the stolen/hoarded wealth, vague political power, symbolic association with a history of colonialism etc. will pass neatly to his son with zero change for anyone (in fact, since the government will almost certainly spend millions for another state funeral and coronation, during a cost of living crisis, you *could* argue people here are cheering because a load of poor British people are going to suffer)
So if you're cheering for his death because of "the monarchy", but "the monarchy" is going to be absolutely fine without him, really you're just cheering for the death of an old man who, as far as I can tell, hasn't actually *done* anything other than be born into the wrong family.
For real.. my nana suffered terribly from bowel cancer for years, and my uncle died of cancer. It's truly horrible, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, and it's frankly disgusting seeing people cheering for this. It's all fun memeing on the royals, and complaining about them is a-okay, but there's some inexcusable stuff being said here
Honestly, this sub has a problem with wishing horrible things on people (and cheering when it happens). Like, I don't like King Charles either, but holy shit it's dark to start throwing parties because someone got *cancer.*
Can someone just tell England they don't need a new king after this one?
Like seriously, most countries don't have them and are just fine, nobody is forcing them to find a new old white dude to put on their bills
Honestly I really hope we go with the 2066 plan. Would be exactly 1000 years of monarch rule, we could give the throne to William, meaning it all started with William the first and ends with William the last.
Fucking hate the idea of monarchy but at least it would be poetic.
Yeah I should have worded it differently, aethelstan was the first Anglo Saxon King, however he was defeated I'm 1066 by William the Conquerer who was a Norman. Since then there hasn't been a successful invasion of England.
Lmao, yeah. "The monarchy is good because it helps us grift the world's most credulous non-British people" has the advantage of at least being a coherent argument, but there are several other things wrong with it.
Okay are you shitposting? Because of all the transphobia in the UK, I'm not sure this guy has muh to do with it. Like seriously. Rowling isn't even in a position of power in the government and she has harmed the trans community in the past 2 years more than this guy in his entire life.
>In 2023, the New Statesman named Charles as the fourth most powerful right-wing figure of the year, describing him as a "romantic traditionalist" and "the very last reactionary in public life" for his support of various traditionalist think-tanks and previous writings
The guy has to wait until 74 to get the crown following the second longest reign ever (topped by Louis XIV who became king at 5) and then gets diagnosed with cancer not even a year after his coronation.

Richard 3 was the third shortest reigning British monarch at 2 years & 2 months. Charlie has been on the throne for 1 year & 5 months. He has 9 months to drop dead if he wants to claim that top 3 spot.
Genuinely curious, does the British royal family have any political influence towards Britain at all? Like signing legislations/incorporating new policies? Or is it entirely their parliament?
While outwardly the argument is always "no they don't have any real power", they actually do. Certain laws first have to be signed by them to become effective (and they can withhold their signature until a long process to circumvent them is finished), but most importantly, they are one of the biggest landlords of the nation and have lots of influence over politicians, which they have used to meddle in laws that would affect their wealth.
Which makes it all the more concerning that the BBC and most other outlets continue to claim that they are "almost entirely ceremonial" - they totally *could* intervene, and sometimes they absolutely do.
inshallah it is now a pinned post my child
What a fucking weird way to find out King Charles has cancer.
thank you that was my intention
Well in that case then I found this way of finding it out pretty mundane and simple.
You should've seen how he told his kids
“Hey kids check out this Reddit post”
*royal cock dangling intimidatingly*
I'm half asleep and thought it was "cancelled turncoat".
this was the first thing i saw when i opened reddit and i was like "he's a what now"
Even weirder is that we don't know what type of cancer it is, but we know what kind it *isn't* cause they made it abundantly clear that he doesn't have prostate cancer, his prostate just happens to also be enlarged
So he masturbates but only a little bit.
Basically everyone with a prostate gets prostate cancer eventually
There is a solution here we aren't seeing
We need to advance the scientific arts of circumcision more
I second this.

King Charles the thirdeded
Mine was with a destiel meme, as it's costumary on tumblr

Prince Charles*, he never showed the documentation from two different psychiatrists attesting he's actually a king instead of a prince with a fetish or a delusion. 😤
I've now heard the news from four shitposting subs and zero actual news sources.
This is where I get all my news. It’s the only sub I sub.
Didn’t get it until I scrolled down one post and saw “Y’all not rocking with cancer⁉️”
I heard he died, so this post is how I found out he's not dead yet.

Okay I understand most of you are against the concept of a monarchy but isn’t cheering that someone has cancer a bit extreme
It's a bit distasteful, but nowhere near as bad as being a monarch.
The crimes of the British monarchy far outweighs the crimes of the distasteful
It's bad taste, sure. But we're allowed to be in bad taste. I find ruling being a monarch with a crown of colonial blood diamonds distasteful.
Okay, but what could you do with the diamonds? Like, this isn't a rethorical question. Is there anything productive that can be done with them?
Return them to the countries they were stolen from?
I can get the idea, but who are you returning it to exactly? Like, the crown has been crafted by a jeweler in 1661, so I'd assume everyone involved and their descendants on at least 6 generations are all dead. (I'm not defending the monarchy, it's just that talking about the origin of one piece of jewelry is kinda meaningless here)
Then give it to the government of the country it was taken from
This has the implicit bias that the government of the place represents the people, when that may not be the case. The government of the country could very well represent the interests of the local elites that were conniving with the british colonial administration. It should be returned to someone, but in the majority of cases that "someone" should not be the national government.

Diamonds are used in industrial equipment
Good response but consider, historical artifacts belong in museums, preferably not a British one tho. Wouldn’t it be interesting to have it be a piece to talk about what monarchies do?

Good point.
Those kind of diamonds probably wouldn't be of any use in industrial applications anyways
Give them back to the lands and peoples they were extracted from at gunpoint, probably. Like, they're stolen goods.
Okay but like, the king's great-grandfather wasn't even born when those were extracted, and all the people who were even in the country when they were extracted are long dead. The crown jewels have been sculpted back in the fucking 17th century. There's a point where people stop being responsible of the crimes of their ancestors, you know?

Whih is enough that I wouldn't be sad at all if he died, but not enough to justify wishing cancer on him.
I'm not wishing cancer on him. He has cancer. To be clear here. That would be redundant.

Same here (losing relatives to cancer), but if theres one thing I wish upon no person (excluding nazis), it is a death to cancer.
This sub regularly cheers for the deaths of those who don't deserve it, and I'm with you on this. No love for him, but I'm not cheering on his demise.
If I could wish double cancer on someone, members of British Monarchy would be pretty high on the list
there’s always one in every thread!
One that what? Has basic empathy for other human beings?
People who have been ordained by God to rule over us peasants don't deserve empathy.
Like when the Queen died, I just find it *weird* to celebrate rather than "distasteful", considering his death won't actually *accomplish* anything.

Don't worry we still have my fellow Americans who do that whole "Kiss me I'm 1/42nd Irish." shit which should hold them for long enough.
Honestly I really hope we go with the 2066 plan. Would be exactly 1000 years of monarch rule, we could give the throne to William, meaning it all started with William the first and ends with William the last. Fucking hate the idea of monarchy but at least it would be poetic.
