"The King will not be one for chemotherapy, he has always argued against it. He's a great believer in natural herbs, potions and things like that." - is Charles III the new Steve Jobs?
Would his majesty be interested in the traditional royal treatment of being fed a solution of powdered lead and mercury (the royal metal!) by some kind of court appointed alchemist/astrologer?
Chemotherapy is fucking awful and I understand why someone might not want to do it, and these days there might be alternatives, specially if you have the resources of the British monarchy.
isn't he like 98 years old or some shit, like at some point I feel like you gotta do the math and figure out if fucking up all the cellular replication in your body and all the consequent fun side effects of that is worth getting rid of a cancer that might not even kill you for another 5+ years
anyway hope he does the chemo and dies anyway fuck im
I'm as happy about a king dying as the next guy but I can't help hoping that his mortal husk keeps going for a bit longer. A dead king is not worth much when they just make a new and younger guy king.
The good thing about prince Charles being king is that he is so old and decrepit, there's no risk of him breathing new life into the monarchy or becoming popular. The current king is an embarrassment to the British state which is good and funny. I don't know about the next guy in line other than that he's probably an unlikable posh asshole but he looks reasonably lifelike and the propaganda apparatus might be able to construct a cult of personality around him.
My guess is that at the moment he's taking advice from a man called Michael Dixon, who he's championed for many years, has headed his own natural alternative medicinal institute
Looking into this dude just keeps getting better and better lmfao, Charles made him "head of the Royal Medical Household"
At his age is chemo really worth it? I kinda feel like I'd forgo it myself, just focus on enjoying what's left rather than spend years puking my guts out.
Since when do we quote and believe anything the great bullshitter and white supremacist Nigel Farage says? He even admits he's just talking out his ass in the same breath.
wasn't there some controversy here about GB News being a sort of shitty site for news? He is a big supporter of alternative medicine, and that dude Michael Dixon is a homeopath and also leads the medical team for the monarchy. But idk this is also just one dude saying this. It would be pretty funny though if he actually did this.
This is so much more interesting to me than Steve Jobs. Jobs was just a colossal asshole who thought he could outsmart death because he sold phones real good. The King seems to believe in actual magic, if this and those clips of him talking about traditionalism are anything to go by.
Steve Jobs was a man who believed in nothing, except his own vanity and ego. King Charles is a man who apparently has faith in the divinity of royalty. Obviously he's just as wrong as Jobs, ultimately, and will die, but I can't help but have a little respect for someone who actually believes in something, even if it is something this stupid.
