    Can’t remember the name of the club, but heard about it in a podcast last week. They name someone similar to “grand wizard” in a business group for wealthy southern fucks. Caught flack for similarity to KKK and recently changed it. Cyclops was a key word for the leader. I just woke up and don’t have the faculties to search for it successfully at the moment. If it comes back to me, I’ll try to remember to edit this comment.

    Racists feel empowered yet again.

      He’s a massive sellout. He endorses more things than any other celebrity. He might just be doing it for the paycheck. It’s hard to know.

      Pretty much standard gangsta youth, couple of suspected/hearsay murders, pimpin’ drugs’n bitches etc. Survived till old age and retired. Nowadays smokes a lot of weed and goes around the world having the time of his life doing random weeb shit.

      Is he a terrible person? Maybe. Does he give a fuck? Maybe not.

        Did he actually do half of that gangsta shit? Other than smoking weed constantly and partying, I doubt he was out actually pimping hoes and doing that kind of shit.

          Far as I know, there’s no evidence that he did. Either he was very good at cleaning up after himself or it was just street rep.

          He’s no Pee Diddy and might never end up as such, but who knows if this Trump business ends up finding skeletons, real or imaginary. Also, fame and personas are easily manufactured and just as easily dismantled, if there’s an interest to do so.

            Its so funny how the bar for celebrity is now “Didn’t spend the last decade hosting an All-You-Can-Rape-Buffet so he’s one of the good ones.”

              I’d could say there are enough bad or worse examples out there to influence where the bar rests.

              Or that there should be a middle ground between good and bad one has to pass through in order to reach the other side.

              But the bar changes its location for each person, with different gradients of intensity changing based on experience and personal bias.

              As the Chernobyl meme goes, “not good, but not terrible” is also an acceptable measurement.

          Because it’s not about principles or ethics or beliefs or anything more than money and fame. And I don’t know how that makes him an idiot, it just makes him shallow, greedy, and empty.

          He’s got the literal same exact people who used to clutch their pearls and say his music should be banned, that he should be imprisoned - those people are now like “look at that quirky Snoop guy! At the Olympics, that’s so funny, never saw that coming! Oh, oh! I recognized some of those slang words he said, I’m still with it, this Snoop guy isn’t so bad, he’s making jokes and stuff! I think he’s cool!”

        The Village People, as far as I know, it’s only the last original member. And he sued the newer members for using the name. They now go by Disco Boys or something like that. He’s the one who claims YMCA isn’t a gay anthem.

      Well of course this is the day the power hierarchy is reasserting itself. The people should passively bask with obedience in the magnificence of their democratically apointed superiors. A day off to vote is basically the opposite of every word in my previous sentence.

      -We have asked the Apple intelligence, what the opposite of that is was, and it responded:

      A day off to vote would shatter the delicate illusion that power flows naturally downward from the heavens to its rightful stewards. It would turn the masses from passive spectators into active participants, a dangerous and destabilizing affront to the sanctity of hierarchical order. Encouraging the rabble to take a holiday for something as unscripted and uncontrollable as voting would disrupt the carefully choreographed theater of deference, where the governed are meant to genuflect before their governors, not assert themselves as their equals.

      Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It’s an annual holiday, where banks, schools, and other institutions are typically closed.

      In other words, nazis overshadowed Martin Luther King Jr. on his own day.
