Ahh. Paul McCartney. Looks like Lemmy has finally found a billionaire it likes.

I'm sure it is The Beatles' activism for social change that won people over. Who could forget their great protest song "The Taxman", bravely taking a stand against the 95% tax rate. Truly, the 60ies were a time of liberation.

"truly the 60's were a time of liberation."

I love the people that compare one aspect of history and forget the rest, lol. The past sucked and our current future sucks.

John Lennon was a piece of shit.

"Lemmy has found a billionaire it likes." - reads one post makes a determination because of one post.

God I fucking hate Lemmy. It is the same nonsense like this Lemmy gives reddit crap about

One post doesnt make a platform like a billionaire. Also, if a Billionaire can speak about against something that protects artists then all the power to them. Slapping the word billionaire on something doesn't make everything a billionaire does bad.

I hate billionaires as much as the next Lemmy user but it is sentiments like this that are nonsense.

John Lennon was a piece of shit.

Huh?

John Lennon admitted to hitting an ex girlfriend. He came out, apologised for it, and said he was trying to better himself but he had a whole load of problems.

Bizarrely, his ex later came out and said John didn't beat her and that she didn't know what he was talking about.

Ringo has also admitted to hitting a girlfriend before.

There are plenty of situations where you can hit someone and then feel bad and apologize for that, which in my opinion do not make you a piece of shit.

Say, I have BAD, ASD, probably ADHD (with the previous two hard to tell, a lot of intersections really and comorbidity ... long story). I do get emotional, sometimes with destructive results. Haven't hit anyone in many years, but can easily imagine doing that.

I never said he was a piece of shit.

A guy says he was a PoS among other things. I answer that. You answer me. There comes my reply we're talking about. Doesn't seem weird in the same thread.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The content of your reply to me was the weird thing, not the fact that you replied itself...
