@MentORPHEUS "Maybe if I lose enough weight then people will overlook my age"
@SeasonedRP I've needed them for a few years already. I actually need to get to an eye doctor sometime soon and get a proper prescription.
1) he was physically abusive to his wives and kids.
2) like many communists and champaign socialists, he was a total hypocrite. He'd talk about how everyone needed to share, while hoarding his own wealth. Paul McCartney was similar in this regard.
@Typo-MAGAshiv I think he was just a natural lefty from the working class north of England who was a good musician. That should have been all but he came of age at a moment in time when a certain kind of music became both the anthem of a the counter culture and a capitalist's wet dream. Suddenly a left musician was as he put it "bigger than god".
So he went round like a god or at least like a guru giving everyone the benefit of his drug induced vision of how to be a rich lefty messiah.
Hi sanctimonious preaching about things he had no understanding was a really shitty thing to do.
Even today some of his songs are like pacifist hymns beloved of the artistic establishment, long after almost everyone has realised pacifism is the way to get fucked.
Could be awesome entitlement, actually expecting replies, could be making a joke.
The fact that you just can't be certain shows how out of whack things are.
I needed this post. Maybe it will help someone here, too

In a way they are already washed before you build them.

The problem with Nihilism - it properly identifies that nothing leads to nothing, then tries to remedy by pretending something is permanent for a while.
"Yes all sand castles will be washed, but invent your own"
The trap is in the "but"
Evasion.
It makes you sad? you still didn't understand.
What do you think is ending?
Where do you think you are, exactly?
It makes you sad that you can't grab it forever - you're missing the whole point.
"My legacy!, my relationships!"
It's all gone already. Which is why you keep holding them.
What do you think is ending?
This is your kinder-garten.
Your choices and actions are not supposed to ripple to infinity and have actual stakes - and that's the point.
You're here BECAUSE it's impermanent.
You're free - while dreaming of being trapped.
Impermanence is the GIFT.
You're FREE.
The power is NOW."

Well, at least she's an honest whore and states her price up front.
Kelly Osbourne started her arc of (dubious) fame as a reality TV star. Lately, she's taken to whining, "Everyone stop calling attention to my appearance and weight-loss-shaming meeee!"\
Girl, it's because at age ~41, you look like someone in the late stages of untreated HIV or hard drug addiction!
@Typo-MAGAshiv I didn't know about number 1.
Number 2 is no conflict, though. Engels himself was a capitalist. Robert Owen as well.
Esther Vilar, one of the brightest women to ever live imo, was a woman, but was quite aware about women's "stupidity", as she put it.
There's nothing inherently contradicting about having a set of ideas about society while living yourself in the society you find yourself in.
I don't know if Lennon was guilty of specific sins, such as paying his stuff lower wages than legal etc, that would be hypocritical with respect to his ideology.
