“He wrote conservative columns, opposed gun control, abortion, and evolution in some contexts, and made strong statements like a 2012 video with his wife Gena warning that Barack Obama’s re-election could lead to “1,000 years of darkness” for the country.”
Lol
Barack Obama’s re-election could lead to “1,000 years of darkness” for the country."
He was kinda right on that one. Not that Obama ruined the country, but all the racist assholes who lost their minds when it happened.
All fueled by this asshole that just kicked it.
“Opposed gun control in some context”
Is it when non white people have guns?
I assume its the same with abortion.
He opposed controlling one’s aim. Just spray randomly in front of you and you can take down an entire army without getting hit. Dirt bikes with rocket launchers also help.
he also is best buds with BENJAMIN netanyahu too, even benny “celebrated his life” with a social media post.
That may be true due to the backlash from people on his political spectrum.
I hate how he became a meme for badassery.
He was a bible thumping bigoted racist piece of shit. Good riddance.
They were jokes. Always just jokes.
Even 20 years ago I understood it was always at his expense. He’s such a self-aggrandizing, self-proclaimed “badass” and the jokes were always riffing off of that. It’s like the same way you’d make fun of Steven Seagal.
I mean, Walker, Texas Ranger was a show made by Chuck, about Chuck, where the day gets saved every time because the bad guys are no match for Chuck. The whole point of the jokes is that nobody was taking this guy seriously but him.
I remember watching that show thinking “why does the drunk dealer skater punk murderer know kung fu.?”
apparently theres a new show by jared padalaciki, it isnt that good i heard. i only found out because he had a spat with jensen ackles a while back how his defunct winchester show.
Walker, Texas Ranger was the only thing I knew Chuck from when I was a kid. I didn’t bother looking into his career until well after the Chuck Norris list started.
We were young and ignorant back then.
Can we go back to Vin Diesel?
Yeah, about that…
At this point I just assume you only get famous by being a piece of shit
In this case, it’s a shame it didn’t go to court. I don’t want to defend an actual predator, but generally there are lots of accusations, not one person.
That’s not to say that it didn’t happen. It absolutely could have and we should give any victim the benefit of the doubt. The court case not proceeding due to a technicality doesn’t seem like justice served for anyone nor for society.
It says something, or at least suggests something, that the charges were dropped because she didn’t continue to file the proper forms on time. And then not only the sexual assault accusations, but the accusations that his sister helped in creating a “hostile work environment”? Stinks to high heaven of revenge accusations.
Any competent attorney would have made sure that that paperwork was filed on time, and she should have no problem getting a competent attorney with such a financially lucrative target.
And then of course there are the long running rumors that Diesel is gay, and just hasn’t come out because that doesn’t play well for an action star…
I’d never thought about the attorney working for free on the basis of the win. However, if she was a victim of a sexual assault, it could also be self sabotage as she psychologically is finding it hard to deal with or wants to avoid reliving it.
So, I’d still tend to believe her unless we have evidence otherwise or a jury of her peers says otherwise.
Does Diesel have any track record of these kinds of accusations?
“Sexual Battery” In the US:
Sexual battery may be defined as non-consensual touching of the intimate parts of another. At least in Florida, “Sexual battery means oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another or the anal or vaginal penetration of another by any other object”: See section 794.011.[15]
Yeah, he couldn’t hold a candle to Bruce Lee.
being badass shouldnt be a compliment anyways
I think that’s exactly why he got popular…
he was always a racist, he just hid, well not really before trump. he played a conservative texan as his “persona” on tv.
Norris was a Republican and an outspoken conservative.[181][182][183] He wrote a regular column for the far-right website WorldNetDaily.[184][185][186] Following the release of Missing in Action in 1984, he described himself as “a conservative, a real flag waver, a big Ronald Reagan fan”, adding that he supported leaders who spoke their minds and projected strength.[187]
During the filming of The Delta Force in 1985, Norris commented on the hijacking of TWA Flight 847, arguing that the United States was becoming a “paper tiger” in the Middle East and warning that terrorism abroad would eventually reach North America. He cited statements by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi as evidence of the threat.[188]
In 2007, Norris traveled to Iraq to visit U.S. troops.[189][190] He supported Mike Huckabee’s campaign in the 2008 Republican presidential primaries, and drew attention for suggesting that eventual nominee John McCain was too old to handle the demands of the presidency.[191][192] He later supported McCain in the 2008 presidential election, emphasizing his enthusiasm for McCain’s partner on the Republican ticket, Sarah Palin.[193]
On November 18, 2008, Norris became one of the first members of show business to express support for the California Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage, and he criticized activists for not accepting the democratic process and the apparent double standard he perceived in criticizing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints without criticizing African Americans, most of whom had voted for the measure.[194]
In 2009, Norris had expressed support for the Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories. In his letter, released at WorldNetDaily, Norris deemed President Obama’s refusal to disclose his birth certificate suspicious and implored him to put an end to the conspiracy theories.[195][196] On April 11, 2011, Norris had written a five-part investigation regarding the “infiltration of Sharia law into United States culture” for WorldNetDaily.[197][198] On June 26, 2012, Norris published an article on Ammoland.com, in which he accused the Obama administration of paying Jim Turley, one of the national board members of the Boy Scouts of America at the time, to reverse the organization’s policy that excluded gay youths from joining.[199]
During the 2012 United States presidential election, Norris first recommended Ron Paul, and then later formally endorsed Newt Gingrich as the Republican presidential candidate.[200] After Gingrich suspended his campaign in May 2012, Norris endorsed Mitt Romney, the Republican presumptive nominee, despite Norris having previously accused Romney of flip-flopping and of trying to buy the nomination for the Republican Party candidacy for 2012.[201] On the eve of the election, he and his wife Gena made a video warning that if evangelicals did not show up at the polls and vote out President Obama, “our country as we know it may be lost forever”.[202][203]
Norris visited Israel multiple times, and he voiced support for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the 2013 and 2015 Israeli legislative elections.[204][205] Norris endorsed Huckabee again in the 2016 Republican primaries before he dropped out.[206] In March 2016, it was reported that Norris endorsed Republican Ted Cruz, the Senator in Texas, and that he would be attending a Cruz rally,[207][208] but two days later, Norris stated he would only endorse the GOP nominee once that nominee has been nominated by the party.[209] Later, Norris endorsed former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore in the 2017 United States Senate special election in Alabama.[210]
In 2019, Norris signed an endorsement deal with light weapons manufacturer Glock. The deal was met with criticism from some members of the public and some of his fans, who felt it was in bad timing due to the increase in school shootings in the United States.[211] In 2021, Norris announced his support of the 2021 gubernatorial election to recall incumbent Governor Gavin Newsom and endorsed conservative political commentator and talk radio host Larry Elder to replace him.[212]

I don’t know if he was merely conservative but nothing here screams MAGAt. Conservative is a legitimate belief system that we can work with for the good of society. A true conservative should be horrified at MAGAt positions
Stripping same sex marriage rights and endorsing Netanyahu of all people are atrocious beliefs in their own right. But yeah he didn’t wear a red hat ion think
This is how I find out that Chuck Norris has roundhouse kicked the bucket?
It was pretty quick. After I heard he passed, I noticed an hour-old notification on my phone from a paper saying he had been taken to hospital an was in “good spirits”. So whatever it was was quick.
Im happy he didnt suffer and had a good death. Probably very unexpected though.
I only agree because I tend to want that for all humans, even ones that do evil things. heh.
Yeah. He accidentally strangled himself with a power cord while masturbating in the closet.
🤧
Norris was known for his spinning back kick, Superfoot Wallace was more known for the roundhouse
oh. i had no idea he
iswas this kind of human shit. shame.May he rest in piss
Thanks Lemmy for being my #1 source for news via memes!
Lemmy is not a good source of information. But it is a decent place to talk about stuff and laugh it off with memes.
Infotainment tho
So this is how I find out he’s dead
wouldnt want it any other way.
Same.
damn. didn’t know he was conservative. or dead.
Most +80 year olds are
Technically true. Most +80 year olds are dead
Even the super gay ones, its odd but just they way some are. Not all the conservative shit is bad however, the stay the fuck out of the bedroom and mind your fucking own business crowd is not all bad for example. The book burning, lets reserve the cuck chair types though…
the signs were there, texas ranger, its his whole persona.
Eh to be fair a lot of these older action stars are conservative but maybe not like the conservatives of today. We will never know how much of a bigot they actually where, and that might be a great boon.
He wrote columns praising Trump during the 2024 election campaign. He made videos warning Obama would doom the planet for a thousand years and Trump was our only savior in 2016.
He absolutely was like the conservatives of today and I personally know people who got on the Maga train in large part because of him. We know exactly how much of a bigot Norris was. Good riddance
Ah, the boon has went bust then.
“John Wayne”, another piece of shit :(
He was a good guy. But yes, not liked by the Lemmy crowd, sure.
He was a racist asshole conservative-fuck.
Sure.
What sure? As in actual agreement? Because he was a piece of shit for real.
What did he do? Im going to guess its this, by googling on what usually upsets people here:
https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/03/20/chuck-norris-dead-at-86-anti-lgbtq/
I mean, yeah. He was just another right wing chud. Good riddance.
He was an absolute steaming pile of rotting dog shit.
The world is just a little bit brighter without him in it.
It’s important to distinguish conservative from MAGAts. One I merely disagree with
I’m ngl, I thought he had already been dead and the memes were just being revived for lols. Maybe I got him confused with Hulk Hogan? He’s dead too, right? Whatever, fuck 'em
yes, and reddit has a meme comparing him to hulk hogan who died the same way he lived as a mouthbreathing racist.
Not sad about a dead Nazi
Huh? Chuck Norris wasn’t a nazi. And in fact, he never had to cut his grass. He just stood on his deck and dared it grow.
Chuck Norris was a Trump supporter. He was in fact a modern era nazi.
Here are some of his writings
the dude claim there will be 1000year of darkness under obama, let that sink in.
Yet another certified bruh moment
Chuck Norris didn’t have to kick the bucket, it just tumbled over by itself. Thanks for the funny memes.
