    I think they’d have compassion enough to not laugh at somebody’s cancer diagnosis, yes.

    I’m all for disliking the institution. Doesn’t mean I think he deserves to have cancer or it would be funny if he died.

      He literally chooses every single day to actively ignore the plight of the people he claims to rule. He does nothing

      Every single day he actively chooses to ignore suffering, probably even cracks jokes about it, while actively working to preserve his enormous privilege and protect his kin from facing consequences for their heinous actions. He stands at the head of an institution of violence, racism, cruelty, and exploitation and every single moment of his life he chooses to side with that over any earnest attempt to redeem their reputation.

      The entire justification for their privilege is so insane it makes phrenology look respectable.

      He is horrible, he could help so many people with a few words and the equivalent of pocket change but he chooses not to for fear of starting a process that ends with him living as one of the ordinary citizens he claims to protect. It’s fucking bananas that you think there is some moral reasons to extend civility to such a monsterous person.

        If you think I’m defending the monarchy, think again. I’m defending compassion.

          It’s not brave or noble to police expressions of anger at oppressors it’s just foolish. It won’t make society better, civility is just a tool the powerful use to enforce the status quo.

          He chooses to let someone starve over feeding them, this is fine a civil behavior. I call him a fucking cunt for doing that and wish death upon him and this is uncivil behaviour and I lack compassion? nonsense, it is compassion that fills me with rage.
