Why can't the current president get aggressive cancer? Everyone would love that (although I would pity the cancer).

In fascist America, cancer gets Trump!

Cancer is an umbrella term for a huge variety of diseases and once you reach a certain age you're likely to have at least one of them. It's just not worth treating if you are in your 80s/90s.

I kind of think the "fuck cancer" online discourse is a bit misguided since it's the price we pay to have regenerating cells.

I've largely come to believe that bad things don't happen to evil people

They do, you just have to facilitate the happening.

This here. There is no karma and if there is it's opposite

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

The original concept of karma has you receiving both punishment and reward for every bit of both good and bad karma from your past lives. Nothing you do in your current life is dealt with until your next incarnation.

Never pity cancer. Fuck cancer.

The rest of your statement holds!

Goven that cancer is just your own body, you don't need to pity the cancer, as the cancer is also trump 🤓🤓
