For real. people are working 3 jobs to afford ramen and I’m supposed to feel sorry for a guy eating caviar off the back of a platypus with a diamond spoon… because he has to shake hands with other wealthy people for his job? Big fuckin boo hoo
That is not nearly all there is to it. You may be rich, but your time no longer belongs to you. Good bye gaming. Goodbye driving where you want. Your entire life is now on display forever and you can no longer do..nvm other guy wrote it all out for you
Or maybe...you and that person both come from a relative place of privilege and you wouldn't make that swap while many people struggling to feed their family would readily make the switch because they already have no free time or money to spend on things?
I'm disabled and bed-bound. What privilege am I coming from?
Don't make assumptions about my reality based off the fact that I'm capable of empathy and understanding even in situations that seem obviously greener.
I'm not defending the apathy of the billionaire class, i'm accepting that the lives of others may be harder than we are capable of understanding. If they're not actively out to screw my life over and control society, I'm leaving them be - not wasting energy pissed because I don't have money to "spend on things".
Chucky is a last remaining whimper of a monarchy on it's last breath. He'll die, like you and me. And everyone will move on WAY faster than anyone would like to face. Like you and me.
I'm at peace with my hand in life... i'm not blaming anyone else or angry at random people for our differences. That's it.
I can imagine it is more difficult than we let on, but he still lives a luxury, privileged lifestyle. The royal family has had plenty of controversies and I'm sure they take the piss out of 'common' folk just as much as we do to them. I'll save my empathy for those who are really struggling
Speaking as someone who is unfamiliar with royalty, what would happen if King Charles just decided "Today I'm gonna sit here in my boxers and play Skyrim all day" and refused to do anything else? What happens to him? He's the King, can't he just do whatever he wants?
You only see a fraction of this guys life and it’s only when he’s making public appearances. This dude definitely has more than enough time to do whatever he wants to. There’s 24 hours in a day, and you’re acting like he has to shake hands and attend events for 16 of the hours. Also, it’s not like this every single day. He has plenty of downtime, and being one of the most privileged person on the planet I bet he spends it doing awesome things. Well he’s old now, but when he was younger he was.
You meam, like any other famous person? Who fucking cares. Except this guy is treated insanely well for only one thing. Because he was born into the right family, and his blood is royal, so as everyone else struggles to feed their families or buy a home. This guy lucked out and is rich, on everyone else’s penny btw. And the poor guy has to act posh and shake hands and go to openings for hospitals? Omfg.. the poor poor rich royal!!
Fucking bootlicker ass argument from you lmao. Loser energy pitying the ROYAL FAMILY 🤡
Another boo hoo tbh. He could not do all that pandering and pomp and display… he chooses to. He’s the king, if he wanted he could take 10 chests of jewels and live in a woodsy forest and fuck a goat while being protected by snipers the rest of his life. He likes the attention
That’s not how it works at all. The royal family can’t just piss off with all the money, they can’t even enact laws. Tbh eh know that the second they tried, we’d burn their fucking palace down
Edit: ah, I see you’re American. Makes a lot of sense that you’re talking out of your arse about something you know nothing about
Not with the money “my guy”. You have no idea about the structure of British government or the law of the land and you still keep opening your mouth. People like you are the reason the rest of the world thinks Americans are stupid
For the record the royal family is absurdly wealthy even without public holdings, King Charles had an estimated £640 million in personal wealth in 2022. They're not exactly dependent on the state.
Sure but like they could definitely give up the royal duties and remain in the upper upper class. At that level of personal wealth they could probably maintain the same level of luxury too, obviously they'd have to give up Buckingham etc but functionally their quality of life probably wouldn't change that much.
Fair point. I was mainly arguing against the guy who implied that the royals could just start flogging the Crown Jewels and ripping paintings off the wall. In any event, I think it’s very unlikely they’ll ever dissolve voluntarily. If nothing else, they don’t really know any different even if the video above is pretty dubious
I don't get it. Being born into that takes all your free will away? Couldn't he just make the decision to be like, I'm not doing that handshake shit no more. I'm about to just chill in my bed and jerk off all day, and play cod? Would the kill him? Would he get kicked out the family? Would they like exile him or something?

Im not saying poor Charles but would you genuinely want that life?
