    The world will celebrate unlike anything we’ve seen in our lifetimes. I almost compared it to Bin Laden being killed, but that was primarily an American celebration. This fuck’s death will be a global celebration.

    That means it’ll get shoved down the throats of every disgusting MAGAt piece of shit in the country because it’ll be too big to ignore. Which means they’ll get all snowflakey and butthurt and that’ll drive them to the polls to vote for whatever disgusting filth the GOP comes up with next. Probably just more bigotry.

    But they were going to do that anyway.

    There’s no reason to hold back our joy for the benefit of low IQ fascist traitors. They’re stupid bigots. Which means they were always going to make the wrong decisions, whether we were nice to them or not. And it’s wrong to be nice and tolerate of mean, ignorant pieces of shit.

    I’ll be in the streets, banging pots and pans and singing songs.

    I take a massive issue with how society says that as soon as someone is dead we have to forgive that person and we can’t speak ill of them.

    Fuck that, if that person was a piece of shit in life. I am going to remember them as a piece of shit in death.

    Im pissing on his grave.

    Technically pissing in a bottle and pouring it on the grave to avoid exposure charges.

      I love that he’s not going to get a public grave or really any kind of monument. It would be desecrated on a daily basis.

        Well, I won’t promise a daily desecration on my end … but stopping by as part of a yearly vacation is something I can do.

      Many years ago my parents had a neighbor. He was a nice guy but annoying as all hell at times, so much so that my mom purposely avoided him at the pool. If she saw him she’d go out of her way to walk around to the side of the pool and be sure to not get in the water when he was in there. She spent months not being able to say 1 remotely decent thing about him.

      Then he died unexpectedly of a heart attack. And suddenly, according to her, he was the nicest person she knew, always so friendly and loved chatting with him, etc etc.

      I straight up called her out on it.

        I was on a work zoom during covid. One guy was getting an award, (6 months before they told him to leave or be fired by the way) and the lady from “leadership” was talking about how she always enjoyed their chats near the eating area (before covid), and over teams he sent a message to a few of us that said “I have never spoken to her in my entire time here”. She was so fake none of us doubted it for an instant. Funny as hell.

    Agreed.

    There was a famous case in France several years ago, around the freshly dead heinous monster named Jean-Marie Le Pen. His “orator talents” were praised after his death, both by dominant media and dominant politicians, including supposed to be ennemies with him and his legacy. Those who still publicly stood against him and his legacy were told to rospect the dead and were vilified. But as some members of communities he targeted said: “I will respect him in death like he respected us while alive.”

    The man was a white national-supremacist with ties to the OG nazis. Racist, imperialist, xenophobe, LGBT-phobe, redheaded-phobe(?), … He very probably participated with enthousiasm in torture and other mass crimes from the french side during Algeria’s independence war. (Also, colonialisation is a mass crime in itself.)

    So yeah, fuck forced reverence. This guy was a hateful mass criminal, and his death didn’t change this fact.

      I like to think we should celebrate like the massive crowd outside Florida State prison in 1989 for Ted Bundy’s execution. No one mourned the execution of that monster or spoke well of him after he fried. Same for them.

        If we’re talking about D.J. Trump, then I’m pretty sure we can expect at least some sighs of relief in many countries, but not from those in power. This guy is a nuisance for more than just the USA, because of the USA’s geopolitical dominant position, and also because of the international networking between supremacist leaders and similar.

          Only a brief one.

          We know that Trump is only the chaotic mouthpiece for a much larger and much more problematic power structure in the USA.

          A power structure that has been quietly and increasingly fucking the rest of us for decades. Trump simply ripped the mask off and got loud about it.

            Not just in the USA. All around the world, mainly among the self proclaimed “(representative) democraties”, which are many countries. (The openly authoritarian regimes are already authoritarian, but can still progress toward more intolerance.)

            And yes Trump, while himself being the symptom of these systems current state, has acted as a catalyst for the march toward hateful authorianism.

              He has also acted as a counterexample in a lot of places where people are waking up to the risks of going down that path towards hateful authoritarianism.

          I had just been listening to some NDExperiencer/spiritualist or something just before posting that. And she was on about the level of perspective from which we do choose everything [from the timeless spirit realm “before” we were born]. :/ Hardly all that helpful from down here. Bit of a tractionless over-reach.

            We are all past of an unfolding universe. We are what we are, and behave to the best of our conditioning.

            When I think of a bad person that is dead, I grieve the opportunity they lost to actualize into something that is more aware being a part of this same thing.

            Doesn’t make them any less of a cunt.
