ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lolto World News@lemmy.ml•King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says1·1 year agoBut we’re talking about the UK monarchy specifically right? I wonder what the scandanavian monarchs for example are up to. & don’t get me wrong, the American political elite, at least a lot of them cough Republicans cough absolutely have the mentality of neonobility.
That kind of psychology and predisposition is something I hope is stamped out or at least vindicated by most of society. Be the change you want to see in the world:)
ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lolto World News@lemmy.ml•King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says1·1 year agoThe UK… Isn’t… In the EU tho? For some (Russian) oligarch tax haven purposes to my understanding?
ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lolto World News@lemmy.ml•King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says1·1 year agoThat’s not addressing my point of… Why is the king receiving preferential treatment? His role is ceremonial. You could make the argument he’s paying for private treatment (I don’t know if he is or not), if he’s not why does he get to skip the NHS cancer treatment wait list? If he is paying for private… What exactly has he personally done to allow him to have the ABILITY to pay for said treatment:| Not saying all the royals wealth should be seized for the peoplez, more why is his families life style still to my understanding being subsidized by British tax payers? The tourism they bring in would still be coming, it’s not like they’re going to sell Buckingham palace if the gov stopped paying for their shit.

Like wat lmao 🤣 and if you think the king is getting the same medical treatment as Mr jo British bong water, I have some EU membership to sell you.
ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lolto World News@lemmy.ml•King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says16·1 year agoIf you have seen breaking bad, the premise of that show is an apt description. Insurance companies here will often deny you necessary life saving medical treatment for… reasons
Other example: a woman with a family history of breast cancer was denied a doctor recommended mammogram to check on some potentially cancerous lumps because she has… Already had too many mammograms.
Profit incentive in the healthcare industry is no bueno:|
ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lolto World News@lemmy.ml•King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says284·1 year agoAs an American, if I got cancer like this dude has, having a job there is a very high chance I’d be destitute IF I lived. World class medical treatment off the backs of his subjects… yeahno my dude, worlds smallest violen playing.jpeg
He can wipe his cancer tears up with whatever the largest denomination of pounds you guys use is xD

ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lolto World News@lemmy.ml•Ukraine is running out of ammo for its US-supplied Howitzers as it tries to fend off massive Russian attacks22·1 year agoI’d be happy to provide a multitude of sources from north Korean defectors corroborating that. Or you could go to North Korea and interview some of the people outside the tourist areas in Pyongyang and get back to me…? Wait o.o I dont think they let you do that. also, interesting that you latch on to that point and not the winning the war/having a better economy part (south Korean soldiers being taller by multiple inches isnt just genetics).
The US does abandon their allies pretty frequently, but that is real politique for ya. South Korea is just not a good example of that. Considering that Vietnams communist government is more closely aligned with the US than China/Russia, pretty interesting imo.
I’m open to changing my mind about North Korea, but I’d love to see sources and not just rhetoric! :) I’ll provide mine if you have a specific question. & there are non-western aligned sources who have done interviews with said north korean defectors. Also, pretty lawl that instead of pointing towards your sources, my comment just got reported and removed. Reminds me of /r/conservative

Unlike the north, they did NOT have 95% of their standing structures bombed to oblivion, and their economy is magnitudes larger than the north. + their women arent officially filtered through a Kim gets the most beautiful women, hundreds to thousands of them, then the gov brass getting the beautiful women scraps.

ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lolto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music StrikeEnglish222·2 years agoHopefully people turn out in 2024 and stop us going down the 1930s Germany route… my mother recently moved to Pennsylvania from a deep red state, and was saying that due to Bidens “corruption”, she didnt think she would vote in 2024. Upon further questioning, my hyper conservative fundemantalist Christian uncle had been sending her news.
Hope my arguments convinced her otherwise, she detests Trump & the Republicans. Her vote DOES matter now. Have her set up with a variety of news websites & Firefox/ublock origin etc, and not “Townhall” garbage.
