    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.

    I have posted this photo earlier…

    It is a collection of small bottles of rum, all but one dedicated to a person, and when I no longer has to share my existence in this world with the person, I will toast in celebration!

    Also, I have decided to treat my family to a celebration dinner at a nice restaurant when Trump falls over and stops being a problem.

        The site of Adolf Hitler’s death, and of his first grave, is now a non-descript parking lot for a non-descript apartment block. This was done for exactly the opposite reason: To prevent any site from becoming a locus of commemoration.

        But I certainly see your reasoning for Mr. Trump. I wonder how many people are actually there for Trump himself? How many would stick with him when he doesn’t have the power to get them something?

          What they should do is announce Hitler’s grave. And whenever people go there for worship or whatever…it’s open game on those people. Because the only good Nazi…

            I don’t think Hitler has a single place that is a permanent grave.

            After he shot himself, his Nazi friends buried him and his wife in about 1 foot of dirt in the garden outside the bunker. (This is the place that is today a parking lot for an apartment block). The Soviet Red Army exhumed that grave within a few days and cremated the bodies and scattered them so as to not create any single place that could become a focal point for future neo-nazi movements.

          That’s the “funny” part about assholes dictators: their close circle will still praise them after their death, because they want to maintain the system and the cult for their own benefit, and because they don’t know who will take the dead’s place, and that person could remember what they say about dead people and assume they’ll do it again…

          A comedy but showing well the process: the movie “The death of Staline”.

    A man walked to the newspaper stand to buy a copy every single day. The man would take one look at the cover then simply throw the paper into the trash and go about his day.

    Eventually the shopkeep became curious after months of this behavior and he decided to ask the guy what he was doing.

    “Looking for an obituary.” the man replied.

    “Obituaries are in the back of the paper, not the cover.” the shopkeeper said, a little confused.

    “Not the obituary I’m look for.” was the response.

      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.

      Mhmm. These puppets are just ordinary people.

      • Ordinary.

        1. not different or special or unexpected in any way; usual:

      nah.

      • Ordinance.

      • An authoritative command or order.

      • A custom or practice established by long usage.

      • A Christian rite, especially the Eucharist.

      meh, closer.

      • Ordnance

      • Materiel in military logistics, including weapons, ammunition, vehicles, and maintenance tools and equipment

      • Artillery

      • Artillery shells

      • Aircraft ordnance, weapons carried by and used by an aircraft

      That’s what I hear when I hear ordinary these days.

      Normalised cannon fodder.

      “Guns don’t kill people. People do.” say some. Quibbling about whether it’s the gun or the ammo aside, where are these people deploying this ordnance?
