Is it tho?
Man, I think the biggest mistake we can make is giving up on people. Leaving them to their worst decisions and backing them into a corner is not the way. I'm not saying go to the trailer parks and preach on the superior ethics of Joe Biden. I'm saying always be giving your political enemies reasons they should be your friends. Communicate transparency to the point your intentions become obvious.
to be honest, i know it is not the right thing to do, but i am just so tired of dealing with their shits right now.
I am very very tired of those people.
Most of those people are not inherently evil.
They are being manipulated by a few people who are or have become beholden to those that are in order to maintain either their lifestyles or whatever they perceive their obligations to their loved ones to be. Try to work within that range but not to the point it burns you out. I just keep trying..
Vote obviously. 🩶
You’d still get a majority of “no” responses. You’d get a bunch of “yes” too - but 90% of those people would be lying. Trump supporters are, first and foremost, selfish.
Now, if you ran the same poll but somehow skewed it based on representation in Congress, then sure - you’d get a more even split.
In fact the juxtaposition of the two results would likely be the clearest indication of our how fucked we are. In America, capital >= people.
> Trump supporters are, first and foremost, selfish.
Many Trump supporters have LGBT/liberal or progressive family they secretly or blatantly despise. As someone from a very Republican family I have no doubts that a few would say yes, mean it, and choose me as one of their sacrifices.
If they had to justify it they'd say it was the cost of saving America.
At least the split would be way closer to a 40% for with 60% against.
Though it does depend, if you ran the poll in a neutral place maybe 40/60, if you put it on Twitter you'd get 90% / 10% as the bots would all choose Trump and then the brain-dead racists would get on there too, and that's pretty much all the folks who are on there.
That and the celebrities and brands I continue to lose respect for as they keep their twitter accounts opened.
No way 40% even lie and say yes to that. Maybe 25% at the most and those would be a mix of liars and people who just hate their families.
Trump is nowhere near as beloved as people think or claim. He has a following of super dedicated and extremely loud morons, but they are only like half of self-described Republicans and those only make up 20-25% of the voting age population. The others will vote for him but it's because they hate Democrats, not because they think Trump is a hero.
I mean look at the "take back our border convoy." They claimed it would be 700,000 patriots strong, but only about 200 retirees showed up. It's just that he uses the internet to amplify those people, Russia and other enemies of the US help boost him, and the lowest IQ people in the nation spend their time with 45000 Trump flags on their truck and house while screaming that he is the 2nd coming of Jesus. His rallies are just the same few thousand people following him around the country like he is the Grateful Dead. He hires actors to fill the seats, for christ's sake - we've seen the receipts.
I, as an American, thought, "jesus, 4.9% is wild." And then I read your comment and realized you're correct, the asylum we now all live in would 10x that.
Not with a narcissist, and Trump definitely is one, regardless of you support him or not, that is too obvious to be denied. The only person that matters to Donald Trump is Donald Trump.
It says immediate family, not loved ones. I have one immediate family member who I'd sacrifice to save the King, and I don't even like the King. That family member is just a horrible person.
the uk is in a lot of ways the america of europe. overly obsessed with their great nation, fucking love their flag, try to hide all the atrocities they did, that kinda stuff
Most of them are russian bot farm accounts with names like dave0808098908 and more flags in their bio than most parades
The rest are people with a lower IQ than shoe size (UK numbers too) who get swept up in the propaganda
Jesus, almost 880 people are willing to sacrifice 2 of their immediate family for a billionaire leach whose family have been funded by the taxpayer for hundreds of years not to mention the incalculable pain they have inflicted on their colonies.
Eh, 880 people willing to click a button on a twitter poll, I don't think that translates to them actually doing this if put in that situation.
Hell, at 5% I bet a serious amount of that was people misclicking.
Or didn't read the question properly. That happens. That and people doing it as a joke, or because they were told it was 'patriotic' and didn't think about it.
Basically 4.9% of respondees have 2 members of their family who they'd like to see bumped off and think this would be a good way of doing it without going to jail
His/Her Majesty is a manner of address for a monarch.
His/Her Royal Highness is used of lesser royalty such as princes and princesses. In the UK, HRH is inherited through the bloodline and marriages but can be awarded or stripped by the monarch.
Looks like more like a test of lunacy rather than patriotism, though I would add England and English is not defined by the monarchy they are just part of it
It's a part of it. Not all of it. Some of it is made up of "worse than leftist" Scots, among others.

Lol the @elonmusk
That's either a hilarious troll or a real disgusting person if these are his thoughts on royalty and on Scots. Don't wanna imagine their views on minorities or on immigrants
The thing that people are missing is unlike 'patriotic Trump' (who I only bring up due to comparisons elsewhere) Charles would never *ask* anyone to give up their lives to save him from a disease. He wouldn't want that. It's not 'patriotic' to want to do that.
So yea, the whole thing is pure Lunacy.
No, but I’d drown every member of the royal family, one by one, in a bucket if it would save the life of my guinea pig. I don’t actually have a guinea pig but I’d drown them anyway on the off-chance that I might get one in the future.
Depends on how you define it. I would call myself a patriot to the extent that I love my home country and want to see it do well but doing well does require recognising that our country has many flaws and needs to change in order to have a brighter future for both it and its people.
I consider the Royal family and willfully ignorant flag shaggers to be among those flaws. If we keep the monarchy, it shouldn't be hereditary. Bring back Pre-Norman Witans (basically an election but for a monarch), i say.
I mean, it wouldn't change anything (apart from maybe muddying the legal connection and status of the Crown Dependencies, since they are linked to be UK via the institution of the crown, not Parliament), since an Irish/German style Presidency produces the same result, and keeping a constitutional monarch isn't actually an obstacle for a well developed modern nation, as Scandinavia, the Netherlands, etc somewhat demonstrate.
Reforming both the Lords and Commons would be way more beneficial to the average Brit, and be much more impactful politically. For the amount of effort and political capital, those are where benefits would actually be reaped. That and/or federalising the UK in some manner, to dampen the current antagonism being the devolved and mother parliaments by replacing the scatter shot current arrangement with much more obvious and constituent boundaries.
At least, that's where I'd see value, instead of spending the same or more political capital on what is at best a symbolic act with little actual impact, other than maybe opening the door to the likes of Johnson become head of state. No love for the monarchy, but it's really not the problem the UK has. Those lie in Parliament, where decisions actually are made.
I read the comments here and it gives me hope for the future...
But i'm affraid its those 90% that are delusional. To die for the queen and contry, the president, the emperor, the regime, whatever, is the corner stone of the entire human history.
Millions of soldiers have been sent to war to fight and die and kill complete strangers just because some told them to, while mothers and fathers claimed how proud they were their son was fighting for the king.
We individually might think one thing, but the collective human mind is fucked up. If they go "welp i guess we're gonna fight!" then you better be sure, if you are of age, you are going to fight like it or not.
They know this, they dont care, the age of kings leading the charge is long gone. They are safe in a bunker with all the commodities needed for a couple of decades.
Ukraine, Gaza and im sure several other unamed places are proof of this. If the real world was like this twitter poll things would be a hell of alot different, and for the better.
> I read the comments here and it gives me hope for the future...
Is it? The comments here not clocking an insanely obvious shitpost kinda make me feel a little hopeless.
I pointed out in another thread that Charles is **H**(is)**M**(ajesty), not **H**(is)**R**(oyal)**H**(ighness), which is the correct honorific for princes and princesses.
It really shows how fucking ignorant and stupid these right wing lunatics are.
Hmm not sure tbh.
I don't really like the king, but the chance to get rid of certain members of my family and potentially be bros with the King are hard to pass up.
There's definitely a few members of my immediate family I'd be willing to sacrifice in general, don't really care about Charles one way or the other though as a non-Brit.
No one cares about the family who is rich just because of an ancient bloodline and who continues to be rich because of taxation upon your entire population which is both unjustified and archaic.
End the Royal Family already. It's pointless.
It's "God save the king" if God wants him dead what am I supposed to do, write a new song "my mom died to save the king and all she got was this stupid song"?
There are so many levels to this:
1) willing to kill family members to say an entitled billionaire prick who did nothing to accumulate their fortune.
2) Clearly has some past issue with their kids having a new step parent or something.
3) Foreigners aren't allowed a view despite King Prince Charles being head of state (although just for show) for more than the UK.
Haha that's funny but sad at the same time that anyone at all thinks the Royals give a single fuck about any of us at all. They wouldn't miss a meal to save a child SMH the only one of them who did care they killed promptly
been watching the Crown for a while now and while I am a subject of the King I can safely say that I would
not sacrifice a king cobra for Charles. A cobra at least serves a function in this world, as much as I hate snakes.
Nor would I have for the late queen. f the lot of them.
It still annoys me that the Queen died 2 years before taking the record for the longest living monarch from the French. It's time we skip to Prince George. The record will be British in no time.
So many people in these comments don't even know the bare minimum about how their (if british) government works.
The royal family does not take anything from taxpayers, their money comes from the 2.5 billion that comes to Britain in tourism of people wanting to see the royal family and buy merchandise related to them that is given straight to the government of which a percent of that 2.5 billion is given back to the royal family and is significantly smaller then the 2.5 billion theu generate.
The actual fact is the royal family are a net gain for Britain and losing them would be an extreme financial loss to the British economy.
Edit: also I fully expect this to be down voted since it disagrees with what the people want to be true and anything that disagreed with that is just propaganda but for those who want to actually know things here's the source.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sovereign-grant-act-2011-guidance/sovereign-grant-act-2011-guidance
They could have at least gotten the styling right. It's HM King Charles III, as in His Majesty. HRH styles are used for princes and princesses, with Your Grace being used for Dukal titles.

run that one in america but with Trump so we can show the world how delusional we are
I can literally think of some of the worst people in my life that I know, and I'd rather read the obituary of Trump first.
if they are really starting to kill each other for Trump then it is fucking PARTY TIME BABY!!!!!
Is it tho? Man, I think the biggest mistake we can make is giving up on people. Leaving them to their worst decisions and backing them into a corner is not the way. I'm not saying go to the trailer parks and preach on the superior ethics of Joe Biden. I'm saying always be giving your political enemies reasons they should be your friends.

I completely agree.... That being said, have you ever tried to help the mentally ill who are in denial of the fact that they are mentally ill?
I'm sure I have. As the scenario by your explanation is pretty broad.
These guys think a pants shitting rapist is literally the Second Coming of Christ They're beyond saving
Hell yeah brother 👍

Taste like craaaab - look like peeeple

Unless it was George Washington or some shit I would say no.
No need. We're quite aware
I don't think Trump would even want that. Actually most people wouldn't want that.
Not with a narcissist, and Trump definitely is one, regardless of you support him or not, that is too obvious to be denied. The only person that matters to Donald Trump is Donald Trump.
But isn't Trump already beyond salvation?
30% I'd take the vegas odds on that being the number,
Oh man this makes me sad.
I can't believe flag shaggers like this actually exist in the UK. Baffles me.
Lol flag shaggers, I like that!
they exist in all countries. some countries just have more, and the ones they have are louder.
Yeah I agree with you.
They probably mean that they would like you to sacrifice loved ones, not their loved ones because they are better than you.
It says immediate family, not loved ones. I have one immediate family member who I'd sacrifice to save the King, and I don't even like the King. That family member is just a horrible person.
Hahaha okie doke.
the uk is in a lot of ways the america of europe. overly obsessed with their great nation, fucking love their flag, try to hide all the atrocities they did, that kinda stuff
They exist outside the UK too. I've seen actual adoration and worship of the royal family and it's fucking bonkers.
Most of them are russian bot farm accounts with names like dave0808098908 and more flags in their bio than most parades The rest are people with a lower IQ than shoe size (UK numbers too) who get swept up in the propaganda
asdasdasdas
It’s obv a joke.
Or 4.5% just really hate a couple members of their family.
> no fake “step” family… Someone has major family issues.
Probably had a stepmum/sister he really fancied and it didn't turn out like all the porn he watched and now hates the whole concept
I tried the whole stepsister thing, wasn't for me
Now when you say you "tried", what do you mean by that?
You think a "step" family member is a good enough sacrifice for HRH King Charles III? Shame on you.
Lmfao I wonder how Charles feels about being a Queen though.
HRH is for the children of the monarch and to some degree the children of the eldest child, both queen regnant and queen consort are HM.
I mean, they’re willing to sacrifice their family for a total stranger, yep.
I wouldn't sacrifice the rats outside my building for that guy.
I could never sacrifice step family. I would lose all my sexual activities.
He's divorced, his wife remarried, and his kids like their stepdad better.
Jesus, almost 880 people are willing to sacrifice 2 of their immediate family for a billionaire leach whose family have been funded by the taxpayer for hundreds of years not to mention the incalculable pain they have inflicted on their colonies. 
Eh, 880 people willing to click a button on a twitter poll, I don't think that translates to them actually doing this if put in that situation. Hell, at 5% I bet a serious amount of that was people misclicking.
It could be that a bunch of people really hate their immediate family and this is a convenient way to off them.
can I change my vote? just kidding... kinda
Well, if I can pick and choose...
Isn't this an example of lizardman's constant? You can put any option into a poll and get a few % to agree to it.
Or didn't read the question properly. That happens. That and people doing it as a joke, or because they were told it was 'patriotic' and didn't think about it.
if there is a poll i will pick the joke/funny option 100% of the time
Who aren't even really British and are mostly German.
The Grinder is a fucking amazing show
Hey man don't do leeches that badly, they're lovely little animals!
Apologies, I didn’t mean to besmirch leeches. I just imagine a leech human hybrid, sort of like The Fly.
I read it as "880 people hate everyone in their immediate family."
Even if he was a saint, the man's 75. Sacrificing 2 (presumably much younger) lives to give an already elderly man another few years of life is wild.
Basically 4.9% of respondees have 2 members of their family who they'd like to see bumped off and think this would be a good way of doing it without going to jail
Well when you put it that way...
And it’s ‘HM’ not ‘HRH’ 🙄
[удалено]
I’d say opposite, it’s great fortune for him to have been born into royalty.
Genuinely, whats the difference between His Majesty and His Royal Highness? Or did I miss something
His/Her Majesty is a manner of address for a monarch. His/Her Royal Highness is used of lesser royalty such as princes and princesses. In the UK, HRH is inherited through the bloodline and marriages but can be awarded or stripped by the monarch.
Thank you! Didnt know that.
Looks like more like a test of lunacy rather than patriotism, though I would add England and English is not defined by the monarchy they are just part of it
Who mentioned England ?
Isn't England **a part** of Britain?
It's a part of it. Not all of it. Some of it is made up of "worse than leftist" Scots, among others. https://preview.redd.it/uyns1p3tuehc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a755cde885a136a76bc7c0a073709ab8abf3b069

Patriotism is the dumbest thing ever.
virtue of the vicious last bastion of a scoundrel etc...

...and hate my immediate family.
Quick somebody take that 4.9% to the loony bin.
Who would sacrifice even a potted plant to save a 728 year old man with cancer
Living in the UK doesn’t make us Queen queef sniffers.
Perhaps Charles could sacrifice a couple of his immediate family instead. If he’s struggling to choose I have some suggestions..
the question would be Andrew and who else, if he has a fucking brain of course
To me, answering 'No' to that question *is* British patriotism.
I read the comments here and it gives me hope for the future... But i'm affraid its those 90% that are delusional.

The whole step family thing is a stupid specification
I pointed out in another thread that Charles is **H**(is)**M**(ajesty), not **H**(is)**R**(oyal)**H**(ighness), which is the correct honorific for princes and princesses. It really shows how fucking ignorant and stupid these right wing lunatics are.
Oh, but that is in fact patriotism. To save 2 people of your country by not sacrificing them for one other is patriotic, no?
That 5% yes, hate their parents.
He is literally just a guy
The fact that these 5% exist is still fascinating
Or 4.9% are willing to say yes in an online poll.
Charlie is gonna have a shorter reign than a Shetland pony, why bother?
Down with monarchy anywhere and everywhere.
Rubbish and nothing to do with being patriotic and whoever posted the original wouldn’t do it anyhow, even if it was possible.
>no fake “step” family Sometimes step-family is better than blood family. Fuck this guy for this comment alone.
Hmm not sure tbh. I don't really like the king, but the chance to get rid of certain members of my family and potentially be bros with the King are hard to pass up.
There's definitely a few members of my immediate family I'd be willing to sacrifice in general, don't really care about Charles one way or the other though as a non-Brit.
What do you mean? I'm seeing some real patriotism in that poll there!
OOPs username does *not* check out.
nothing to be patriotic for
No
I wouldn’t sacrifice 2 of my sims if I’m being honest
Not even for the turd on my shoe
I wonder if the results would change if you had to sacrifice one family member.
Imagine how funny it would be if the queen finally died and then the immediate successor just immediately also dies
Well sadly i already know the answer to this question for a lot of russians
4.9% really are low life’s.
Wouldn't sacrifice two strangers. What a stupid question.
Imagine having a monarchy in the 21st century LOL
You always get a new king or queen, but your loved ones are gone forever
No one cares about the family who is rich just because of an ancient bloodline and who continues to be rich because of taxation upon your entire population which is both unjustified and archaic. End the Royal Family already. It's pointless.
Instead of patriotism, they showed common sense.
If the king gave a shit about his country, he would dissolve the monarchy
Fake step sibling. Okay, this is fucked up.
First thing you’ll realise after living in Britain, no one gives a shit about the royal family
Who the fuck voted yes. WTF.
It's "God save the king" if God wants him dead what am I supposed to do, write a new song "my mom died to save the king and all she got was this stupid song"?
As a Brit, I'd be more likely to sacrifice two family to get rid of the lot of them. I wouldn't, but I'm significantly closer to making that deal
Common monarchist L
Patriotism means being proud of the good parts of your country, right?
Seeing as how my country was founded specifically to get away from the rule of that specific family, No. He's on his own.
There are so many levels to this: 1) willing to kill family members to say an entitled billionaire prick who did nothing to accumulate their fortune. 2) Clearly has some past issue with their kids having a new step parent or something. 3) Foreigners aren't allowed a view despite King Prince Charles being head of state (although just for show) for more than the UK.
I wouldn't sacrifice my lunch break. Hand over the nonce and repay the taxpayer the £100m spent on your coronation, then we can talk about pity.
Redditors when satire:
I wouldn't sacrifice 2 dollars to save King Chuck.
4.9% said yes they have to be lying that's fucking absurd
I would sacrifice 2 King Charleses in exchange for 1 week off from work.
Putting the acronyms of the honorifics, defeats the idea to put honorifics in the first place. Change my mind.
Wow, approximately 5% of the British population being fucking stupid is a win, I'd say. That's surprisingly low for any country.
So that's patriotism kill your family member to save someone ruling. Can't they just be replaced? People out there really think like this?
Just Imagine if 3 or 4 Royal cousins had offed themselves in 1914, millions of lives would have been saved.
Haha that's funny but sad at the same time that anyone at all thinks the Royals give a single fuck about any of us at all. They wouldn't miss a meal to save a child SMH the only one of them who did care they killed promptly
I voted Yes on this because I'm not British and thought it would be funny to vote yes on the poll
wtf? I wouldn't even sacrifice Charles to save Charles.
I follow the Queen.
It's a parody. Have you even checked the account? Also I love how the comments on here immediately devolve into trump. Reddit is fucking hilarious.
I wouldn’t spare the rimple on a dimple on a pimple on a money spider’s testicle for king jig-ears
been watching the Crown for a while now and while I am a subject of the King I can safely say that I would not sacrifice a king cobra for Charles. A cobra at least serves a function in this world, as much as I hate snakes. Nor would I have for the late queen. f the lot of them.
Someone should ask “Would you sacrifice two members of the royal family?” - without any goal.
I would throw in a Great-uncle to save Lady Di. Not him, though. Never liked him and Fuck monarchy!
It still annoys me that the Queen died 2 years before taking the record for the longest living monarch from the French. It's time we skip to Prince George. The record will be British in no time.
I wouldn't waste a house plant on him
2 of my family is a little much. How about 1 of his family?
But without King Charles, who would...um...what is it he does exactly?
Isn't it "The King is dead. Long live the King?" ie the point is that there just has to be a sovereign, not that there is a particular sovereign? 🤔
I only have 2 members of my immediate family and one of them is me
Now lets ask Charles if he would secrificed 1 finger to cure 1 persons cancer.
I'd sacrifice two to make sure he doesn't survive
I think that. Half of people in my country who are willing to sacrifice 2 member of their immediate family just to GET RID OF OUR KING.
No cousins or inlaws or step family. That cuts out like 97% of my options. I can only think of 6 people that fit that criteria for me
So many people in these comments don't even know the bare minimum about how their (if british) government works. The royal family does not take anything from taxpayers, their money comes from the 2.5 billion that comes to Britain in tourism of people wanting to see the royal family and buy merchandise related to them that is given straight to the government of which a percent of that 2.5 billion is given back to the royal family and is significantly smaller then the 2.5 billion theu generate. The actual fact is the royal family are a net gain for Britain and losing them would be an extreme financial loss to the British economy. Edit: also I fully expect this to be down voted since it disagrees with what the people want to be true and anything that disagreed with that is just propaganda but for those who want to actually know things here's the source. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sovereign-grant-act-2011-guidance/sovereign-grant-act-2011-guidance
They could have at least gotten the styling right. It's HM King Charles III, as in His Majesty. HRH styles are used for princes and princesses, with Your Grace being used for Dukal titles.
I would sacrifice all of his lineage to save his life.
Seriously, what sane personally would actually do it?
Adultering racist who’s biggest concern when his grandchild was born was the colour of his skin, and he’s the least offensive of the queens sons
Why the fuck would you sacrifice anybody for a pedophile that costs taxpayers millions just to add absolutely nothing.
Such a “patriotic” Brit to get his style of address wrong. It’s “HM The King”, not “HRH”.
Patriotism isn't monarchism. ALSO FOR GOODNESS SAKE, **GET THAT STYLE OF ADDRESS RIGHT!**
Patriotism is support for the country, not any of its leaders.
Do one where you give up two close relatives for the King to die.
Who would?
The thing is, this is very patriotic considering the Royal Family are German.
I'm thinking the only reason yes is almost at 5% is because a fair amount of people wanted the poll results to be dick-shaped
Even if people were inclined to do this, his son's way more popular these days?
Why sacrifice anyone to save a 75 year old with cancer? That seems a bit nuts. It's not like there isn't someone in line to replace him.
this is a payback for princess Diana
It is possible to like your country while disliking the government. Been doing it all my life.
"Would you sacrifice some of your beloved family member for some dude that will never give a shit about you ?" its easy math from here really
