sean "oh no" lennon
impressive how a 48 year old man can sound 16. guess when your dad was one of the most famous people on the planet, you don't have to put much effort into, well, anything.
Considering his dad was the most famous person on earth for takes you'd expect from a 16 year old who just took their first bong rip, but more hypocritical it makes sense.
Okay but your dad was a deadbeat who left his other children to make unhinged BS with your mom. Hippies are bad people pretending to be good and Mark David Chapman did us a favor.
"Teach us how to think for ourselves"
"Here's a laundry list of ways that this right-wing outlet is lying to you and trying to get you to blame minorities for the bad aspects of your life caused by capitalism, here's how every other society has done the same thing for the last 2000 years"
"WOKE!! WOKE!! WOKE!!"
Also the irony of "teach me how to think for myself"
idk
Good educators encourage exploration and give cognitive tools.
Mind is a fire to be lit not a box to be filled.

what on earth
maybe he sincerely doesn't know how?
I'd say the wrong Lennon was shot, but a better way of phrasing it would be that not enough Lennons were shot.
When life gives you Lennons, you make Lenin-Aide
Only the Russian one didn’t deserve it
Of all the celebrities boomers are obsessed with, musicians are pretty high on my list of boomer idols to loathe. Just below their failchildren.
I was friends with him in the 90s. He would always say wokism is coming and it's gonna be bad. We didn't know what he was talking about but boy do we have egg on our faces now
Telling people they're perfect and good and they don't need anyone to tell them what to do, or how to think or feel. They're imbued with all of that! They're already right.
Not indoctrinating children? That sounds like wokeism
"I was actually anti-woke before it was popular."
Anti-wokism has reached it's hipster stage. It's finally on it's decline.
It used to be called Political Correctness. I assume that's what he's referring to. He's basically admitting he's been a bigoted asshole for decades lol
Wait I thought the early 90s was when stuff wasn't woke yet and Ripley from Aliens was a non woke female protagonist.
Ripley was a Mary Sue who managed to survive when a bunch of ass kicking marines got perforated by xenomorph tails.
What's hilarious about all this is hogs were calling everything they don't like "politically correct" from the 90s onwards. I get whiplash when I hear them use that term in the 2020s
I recall them bringing it back in the early 2010s, but it quickly got supeceded by SJW.
He's kinda like an anti woke Jaden Smith
How are people like "How does this have thousands of likes???" when we know there's just a shitload of bots on Twitter?
Who would have guessed you can't expect much from a rich hippie when it comes to parenting
The cop hat with the long hair really seals the deal
I would imagine he's inherited quite a lot... 15K likes is about $50, but who knows they probably boost these freaks with Musk at the helm.
His other son apparently didn’t receive much lol
After his death it was revealed that he had left Julian very little in his will.
There was a political correctness fad in the mid 1990s, then it started up again in 2015 or so
"Politically correct" was, afaik, the GOP stealing a concept from academia and then misusing it in bad faith. They just lobbed it at everyone who was opposed to torturemurdering black children. Same thing with "bleeding heart", Woke, Critical race theory, and I'm sure many others I have forgotten due to the brain abraiding side effects of AMerican politics.
DEI is the newest one after CRT went out of fashion.
AMerican politics
new innovation in Maoist Standard English
"Politically correct" was, afaik, the GOP stealing a concept from academia and then misusing it in bad faith.
AFAIK it was a sardonic left-punching thing left-libs were doing to begin with, like a bunch of socdems and trots chortling about things not being "politically correct" to mock MLs and maoists. I can only imagine it as the 80s equivalent of redditors going "I'm as left as they come and I'll get *starts giggling* banned for this, but China bad tinyman square 1984 -700 social credit! *bursts out laughing*" and then being upvoted by CIA bots and given awards.
Pretty much all right-winger complaints about "this generation" have been complaints about ideas that have existed (and been complained about) for many decades, if not centuries or even millenia. PC culture, cancel culture, feminism, homosexuality, trans people, you can name a behaviour as old as humanity and they'll still claim it's a radical new agenda.
I'm fairly sure the "war on Christmas" will be a headline again in 5-10 years.
The only solution is to launch an enveloping counter attack and decisively defeat the forces of Christmas on the battlefield. After that we will have the strategic initiative.
I'm fairly sure the "war on Christmas" will be a headline again in 5-10 years.
Isn't it a headline every year for the last 20 years now? Lmao they still whine about it on FOX I'm pretty sure
Again, 20 years is an underestimation, it was a complaint under another name back in the 80s and long before.
True enough i guess
Political correctness fad is one way to describe a society briefly not tolerating outright bigotry.
Fortunately for bigots most people get burnt out on trying to not be bigots for more than about 5 minutes so it ebbs and flows.
That’s what happens when ur dad’s a beeble ig
Bitmoji twitter avatar.
I saw the snapchat avatar and thought he was like a zillennial or somthing. Then I looked him up and he's 49 years old. Wtf.
like flies to shit
