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.

Deah by natural causes without facing consequences for his actions doesn't feel like we won... Just saying...

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

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.

We will show him the same amount of respect he showed others.

Im pissing on his grave.

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

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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.

Why should I be respectful for a dead person when I didn't respect them when they were less dead?

"When tragedy befalls a conservative, there must be decorum, reverence, and respect for the departed.

But when tragedy befalls a democrat, we are allowed to turn it into holloween costumes, jokes, mockery, and wishes for the tragedy to have been worse, more painful, etc" - Average conservative.

[-] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 16 points 1 day ago

All someone would need to do is to post screenshots of the various tweets he made when others have died or been attacked. No one would even need to make up words of their own to post about it.

trump post where he says he's glad another US government figure is dead

Remember the Republican collective laugh fit over Paul Pelosi's attack?

Honestly, the nation needs to make a concerted effort to take the tough guy macho stereotype away from conservatives. They're some of the whiniest little bitches I've ever come across in my life and the average conservative looks like they need an oxygen tank. Image is important and that one needs to be stripped from them.

Blud, I ain't respectful now to that fucking Russian intelligence asset.

Snark needs to give way to violence. All of his supporters are traitors.

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 13 points 2 days ago

I remember when it waa official that he lost in 2020 there was spontaneous dancing the in street. The news kept showing live streams of empty COVID streets and then people starting going outside in their masks and dancing.

This time, it's going to be a rager.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I remember seeing footage of hordes of people celebrating in the streets in every major city.

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 will respect him in death like he respected us while alive.

I'm not looking forward to the national week of mourning in Federal buildings though. Friggen post offices and whatnot will be forced to put shrines out. 😒😒

I have fireworks set aside just to celebrate this event. I should probably go get champagne too.

Haha, I can't wait til I'm wearing my maga(tm)red "fuck trump" hat the day that fuckstick croaks. Die in a fire you piece of garbage.

And the first sucknut that says I should be respectful of the dead will get an earful. Respect is earned and dying is easy.

Show Respect!

Counterpoint: Anyone respecting that horrid legacy is part of the ongoing problem and should be dealt with accordingly.

[-] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It's a flavor of the Paradox of Tolerance:

If you respect disrespectful people, are you a respectful person?

I would say, "No."

[-] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

We've already bought the bourbon & the Taco Truck shaped fireworks.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

I ain't buying bourbon, or anything else made in Trump's America.

I have a nice bottle of 12 year scotch waiting for a celebration.

[-] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

I will only be respectful, if he literally takes a bullet for someone … and that’s it. If he collapses on stage or dies peacefully in his slumber, I will not.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Him taking a bullet for someone would not be enough for him to be redeemed in my eyes

I have a bottle of Pinot Grigio just for that occasion. And one for Musk, Putin, Netanjahu. The list is long. I will not go onto the streets and celebrate. But I will drink on a monsters demise.

I think the dead should be allowed to reap the respect they earned in life.
In some cases that means you intentionally got to get infected by dysentery just to be able to almost shit enough on their grave.

An oppressor doesn't become more acceptable because their dead especially when the harm they caused is still around.
