Who cares about this random man having cancer?

When he dies the UK will spend around $300 milion on his funeral and a party for his kid.

Fuck the monarchy. Fucking parasites.

Unelected sponges, as Bill Bailey once put it

Will it also become a Holiday or is he not that cool?

So brave and controversial of you to pretend he's just a random man

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

Luck or not he is the king, so he's not just a random guy. Pretending to not undeerstand that fact just to make a point adds nothing to the discussion

I care, I don't like him and like the chance to cheer for the cancer
