It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

English Kings named Charles and dying due to their own stubbornness - name a better duo.

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.

This.

If Charles dies, William would become king. William is in his 40s and is tactful and very well respected, especially by the libs. If there's anyone who could keep up the optics of the monarchy like his grandmother did, it's him. We would have 45 more years of wholesome 100 state parasite.
