The very idea of celebrating death seems like something we should have banished to the primitive pages of distant human history. Unfortunately, despite the immeasurable advances our civilization has made, it seems like our societal structures are lagging behind, with a mainstream celebratory culture of death being promulgated to this day.
While the celebration of death in Western culture was usually reserved for the worst amongst us, we now live in a society where even the mildest political disagreements are used to justify a shockingly macabre jubilance in the face of political violence, or even the death of political enemies.
Nothing provides greater proof of this despicable practice than the passing of David Koch, the billionaire businessman, philanthropist, and political activist, who died on August 23, 2019 at the age of 79 after a twenty-seven year battle against prostate cancer. Demonstrating not even the merest shred of respect for David Koch or his grieving family, social media erupted with messages cheering David Kochs death, taunting his brother Charles Koch, or mocking those who were mourning his passing.
In a despicable display, Bill Maher irredeemably dishonored himself by openly celebrating David Kochs death on his HBO show Real Time, saying Yesterday David Koch of the zillionaire Koch brothers died...of prostate cancer. I guess Im going to have to re-evaluate my low opinion of prostate cancer. He continued with F*** him. The Amazon is burning up. Im glad hes dead and I hope the end was painful.
The appalling laughter and applause which followed Mahers utterly disgusting comments showed us the true nature of the Left, how far they have strayed from the most basic standards of human decency, and how their cult of death has permeated every level of political discourse.
This is the same Left who worship at the altar of on-demand abortion, who celebrated the bravery of Alyssa Milano when she admitted to having two abortions in 1993, lauding her pride in the decision to sacrifice the unalienable rights of two human beings to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness in favor of her career. Even though David Koch was himself pro-abortion, the Left cheered his passing regardless.
On the same day as David Kochs death, it was announced that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had been treated for pancreatic cancer. Ginsburg - dubbed as The Notorious RBG - is one of the Lefts political heroes. Regardless of her clear bias and open political activism, the Left would rightly condemn any celebration of her unfortunate demise. However, their warranted castigation of such disgusting behavior would not be based on some form of a shared respect for human life, but upon their obsessive and tribalistic allegiance to political ideology.
This form of tribalism, which dismisses the value of every human life and only applies basic levels of compassion and decency if it is politically expedient, will continue to tear our society apart if left unchecked.
One defining characteristic of a civilized society is the universal acknowledgment of the value of life regardless of political viewpoint. By that metric, we no longer live in a civilized society. When we use political disagreement to justify the celebration of death, then we risk opening a door to fascism which is notoriously difficult to close. If that door opens, civilization is truly lost.
And when RBG decends into hell, any peep from any Republican will be 24/7 news from the fake legacy media.
Talk about words you may regret...do not ask for whom the bell tolls, Billlyboy, it tolls for thee.
Don’t worry, Bill, your death will be celebrated too.
And at this moment off in a Nevada desert, the Burning Man event is well underway... The sense of cooperation that seems to define the convergence so many thousands is a positive, but immolation of man in effigy always casts a dark shadow.
It is really ashamed how low the left have come! Their time will come also!
What’s Maher’s FReep name?
If karma has any say in the matter, RGB being medically unfit to continue, or her finally being taken by cancer should temper any satisfaction this vile sub-human oxygen thief enjoyed at Kochs death.
The worst among us are outing themselves. Pay attention. Enjoy the show. Be prepared.
They are all an embarrassment to human beings.
If she does pass the uproar we saw about Kavenaugh (sp) will be nothing. The idiots will truly be out for Republican blood.
How’s your PSA, Maher?
He must have just returned from that civility seminar that was touted on Newsbusters a few days ago.
Kavenaugh was enjoyable and this one will be also. If the pubs have the majority the nominee will be appointed....thanks to Harry Reed!!!!
It should be called “Hypocritical Man” because they are a tribe of liberal Millennials whose narcissistic artsy activities results on a massive carbon footprint and a huge waste of materials.
Is someone just now noticing that liberals always celebrate the death of people they disagree with?
Are we taking down a paying list that would line up at Mahers grave to...well you know what i mean.
They've become little balls of hate...
As if liberals had a lock on hatred.
Exactly.
One only has to pay attention to see this happen all the time from the Left. The ghoulish clapping, laughing and cheering of the audiences is despicable. They are like trained seals, cheering on wickedness and hate.
