James Dobson lived longer than most people reach. He won. Karma is how we cope with bad people succeeding. “They’ll get theirs one day.” He never did. Fuck this asshole. I’m glad he’s dead.

Many Nazis escaped to south american, grew old and died happily. Karma is wishful thinking that requires an afterlife to make it seem possible.

The world is a much worse place as a result of his life's work; it would be a better place had he never been born. If he did not want people to rejoice at his death, maybe he should not have spent an entire lifetime working for and justifying their pain and suffering. He preached that there is a hell, and that the wicked go there. He lived his life as though he did not believe it, or anything else.

Truth.

Rot in piss.

A fitting obituary.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Could someone explain to a non American who this was and what he did?

[–] DeceasedPassenger@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Career politician. If you actually read the blog it explains pretty well.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The article very clearly tells you.

You expect me to read an article about the death of some random guy I've never heard of?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nobody is making you. But it’s not a long article and it answers the exact questions you asked.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago

But asking who he was helps me to know if it's worth clicking.

Seeing evil boomers die off is so relieving.

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

He was older than the boomers

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I already knew when i googled his death it would be mostly positive, but there was still some small hope that wouldn't be the case.
