Imagine you’re in Heaven
It's easy if you try
All Hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine white culture is the only way
Ah, ah, ah-ah
Imagine there's no countries
Sending us their poo
Nobody to kill or abhor
One true religion, too
Imagine all white people livin' life in peace
Yoo, hoo, oo-oo
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I know some day you'll join us
Because we’ve already won
Imagine no peasants
I wonder if you can
Just greed and plunder
The brotherhood of whiteman
Imagine white people holdin’ all the world
Yoo, hoo, oo-oo
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I know some day you'll join us
Because we’ve already won
Facts:
1.) single shot.
2.) Complete bullseye

5.) Was easily able to get away in a mono-ethnic conservative Caucasian college campus.
Only Valid Conclusion:
1.) Well trained leftist Trans shooter on antidepressants
He didn’t deserve to die.
But I’m sure there were a lot of people in the south who were virulent racists who gave to charities and loved their family that we can all agree were wrong and that their beliefs are not ‘kind’
Thats him. His life is measured by his influence. And his influence was hate.
Yeah. Healthcare is not affordable.
But it’s way less affordable bc of the undermining of the law by republicans.
A fact that I bring up when my conservative friends shit all over Obama and dems and the ACA with their one liner: ‘How that ‘affordable care’ going for you?’
And the preexisting conditions price is just completely forgotten like it was always that way in the US. Oh how they forget.
But alas, it was Obamacare when they tried to kill it. Now it’s the ACA bc they want to mock it.
Sorry for the tangent.
And this is Kirk and MAGA’s and Trump’s total misstep with their all out power grab in addition to their complete dehumanization of their opposition.
When the opposition feels totally powerless and hopeless and their leadership is ineffectual, they revert to violence.
When Trump can crime with no consequence, masked men round up people and send them to Sudan, and political aligned folks are pardoned, the fatalism and cynicism it takes to murder political opposition can be achieved pretty easily
My thoughts too.
Im not trying to be a dick but ‘assassinated’ is for main characters.
He was a bit player, support staff, C level political actor.
It was a ‘politically motivated killing’ at most.
The public is conflating the distance, roof top, rifle and MEANS of the killing blur what makes an assassination and assassination. You have to have stature and influence.
He had a podcast.
Don’t get me started about my in-laws, their $, my wife, and the whole thing.
But I agree. One of the reasons my wife is dogshit with her $, saving, and keeping a personal budget (at work? She’s run a successful business so WTF?) is that she never did talk about money growing up.
But also my in-laws have always used their means as a way to control their kids and family. Not talking about $ was more about control than committing some faux pas / avoiding being gouache.
/Rant
Daughter: Are grandma and grandpa rich?
Wife: We don’t talk about those things.
Me: [To daughter] It can be impolite to talk about that stuff but why don’t ask?
Wife: [glare]
Daughter: They have 2 houses. And one has an elevator. The other has a pool on the inside. I think that means you’re rich.
Me: that’s pretty solid logic sweetie. But it’s probably best you don’t worry about money. You’re well taken care of.
Wire: [still glaring]
Daughter: But we’re not rich.
Me: Not when I have to pay for all your activities and stuff.
Daughter: oh Dad!!!
[Daughter leaves]
Wife: You always do this. The conversation should have ended at ‘We don’t talk about things like this’.
Me: She was curious and she wasn’t wrong.
Wife: she shouldn’t use that word.
Me: what word?
Wife:!Rich. It has such a bad connotation now and with all this backlash you know.
Me: oh yeah?
Wife: Yeah it’s a bad word now. Just say wealth or they have money. Rich just isn’t safe anymore.
Me: What kind of world is it when rich … I mean people of means don’t even feel safe in their paid off BMW’s and multiple houses?
Wife; [Glares]
Me: Don’t worry babe. It’s nothing you need to worry about.
Wife: Yeah because we don’t have any money.
Me: I’m doing my part to keep my family safe.
String? As in in Stringer Bell?
Idris Alba in a biopic about Charlie Strong wasn’t on my bingo card for 2025!…..
But pretty solid choice if you ask me.
I quote this movie to this day.
I know it has lots of accolades, but somehow I feel like it’s not given its due.
One of my favorite comedies to this day. Very much ahead of its time and would be subversive again somehow with all this trans / drag backlash.
