Of all his quotes, I like this one best:

“Akhh-kkkhhhhh, aggkkgghhhh, gllghlllkh!”

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 57 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He did lean left in the end.

[–] deadbeef79000 21 points 1 month ago

He was a pain in the neck.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hard to say, he was leaning left but he was also wearing a red shirt last I saw of him. I guess he made his own path. Instead of going left or right, he went 6 feet down.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 13 points 1 month ago

”Trans rights are human rights."

He said that, right?

"Holidays are bad, actually"

Hey, I just want to recognize that this guy hasn't said anything racist in months. Good job buddy, keep it up!

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

A reformed professional asshole

[–] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 1 points 1 month ago

Guess the racists and MAGAs can become better after all. Cost is cheap, results are immediate.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 60 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We have two summer holidays and one "based on race" because the one "based on race" recognizes the time Union soldiers arrived on the Texan shores and forcibly freed a group of people subjugated based on their race--it just didn't happen to fall on July 4th.

The two holidays recognize two completely different things it doesn't matter when in the damn year it occurred.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 15 points 1 month ago

It's only "based on race" because slavery was based on race. It's the end of slavery, not "Black people day."

That's like saying July 4th is "all about the British."

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Imagine being pissed off about a second holiday in the summer.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

imagine being pissed off about race

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I run very slowly, so foot races piss me off!

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

if you type, you’re a typist

if you race, you’re a…

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

But it's for Black people, so he thinks he's not allowed to enjoy it. For him, it's like watching your neighbors having a fun pool party, but they didn't invite you, because you're such an asshole all the time.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Now we have two summer holidays

And that’s a bad thing?

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

lol for real - overt racism aside, who tf gets butthurt about having an additional holiday?

[–] Jessicat@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why are you still giving space to his views? I definitely don’t agree with his worldview but he hated enough alive, maybe his viewpoint should stop being perpetuated.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's important to remind everyone that he was a piece of shit. Republicans are whitewashing his history.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Are they though?

At the very least, no one is doing it here. I'd rather have a rebuttal comment if/when a post that tries to do that, rather than seeing these posts

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Funfact about dead people. They are fucking dead. The only reason to bring them up is because you agree with them. Full fucking stop no fucking argument.

If they are a piece of shit leave them to rot and forget about them. They are FUCKING DEAD.

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Apply that same principle to people like Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Adolf Eichmann. The reason normal people get worried about people in power today is because they were taught about the crimes and twisted ideologies that started WWII and the Holocaust. Burying it and pretending they never existed will give people like that the opportunity to rise again, such as our recently tracheotomised center of attention in this post.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The only reason to bring them up is because you agree with them.

Hitler shouldn't be taught because you don't agree with him? How is anyone supposed to learn from history if you hide everyone that did anything bad. That's how we got Trump. It was a failure of education.

Ol' Chuck hasn't had a garbage take on things in almost a year. Keep it up Charlie, you're doing great these days!

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Technically...Juneteenth isn't in the summer...

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it's 1-3 days before it and now that's how I'll remember when summer starts

We can't have summer until we remember the injustice of slavery and the freeing of a quarter million slaves in one of the last bastions of that deplorable practice

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh no, it's still happening. It's how BYD cars are made.

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's still how most things are made. Stateside, the prison system is the only slavery left but worldwide, there are many examples still going strong. It's nowhere near as prevalent as it was though

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh, you're playing with fire trying to be pedantic like this. You're using the astronomical definition which starts on the solstice (some astronomical definitions treat the solstice as the center of the season, but starting at the solstice is the predominant one). Multiple countries use the meteorological definition which includes every day within three months (June, July, August in the Northern Hemisphere). The US has no overarching legal definition, but for example, US maritime law gives a batshit definition of summer as "April 1 to October 31" and winter as all the rest. And culturally in the US, summer tends to start at Memorial Day (e.g. this is when outdoor public pools usually start opening).

There's no "technically" here, or if there is, you're just as right as you are wrong. If anything, given a cultural holiday, it's arguably most "correct" to assess it using the cultural definition.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kids are out of school. It's summer.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Lol not in New England. We had one storm that shut down our schools for a week.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

Once he was shot, he became much more left-leaning

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 month ago

I needed that explanation like I need a hole in the neck.

Some dead, inconsequential dude with really bad takes about pretty much everything.

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Dead fascist. More to come.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

amazing nation

Built on and consisting of genocide, slavery, wars, violence, crimes against humanity, corruption, hate, racism.

"Amazing" has a different meaning in my dictionary.

I don't understand why you would share anything this idiot ever said. Negative attention is still attention and he deserves none. He's dead, he can't spread his bullshit anymore. Don't do it for him.

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works -4 points 1 month ago

So you didn't want him to end slavery

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Say what you will about carotid artery charlie - at the end, he leaned left

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

but his blood leaned right.

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

This guy is such a pain in the neck

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Shouldn’t have brought words to a gun fight

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

15 downvotes, for reminding people of what he actually said.
