    Maybe amend the rule to “celebrating death of actual human beings”. There’s one person whose death will be celebrated far and wide, for sure.

        So you decide when it applies and when it doesn’t? Sounds like this community needs a new mod with some integrity

          We made an exception for an incredible war criminal, yes. Don’t expect us to do it for everyone.

        So it’s a highly inconsistent rule that also get lifted when someone the mods hate dies? Holy shit

          Wasn’t just “the mods hate”. Kissinger was legit a war criminal.

          As much as we all hate Graham, he was not at the same level as Kissinger. Few are.

              Nope, literally everyone else. Google “Kissinger war criminal”, then try “Lindsey Graham war criminal”.

              The difference between them is clear. As a member of the Senate, Graham was incapable of acting on his own. Kissinger was not limited.

                  I had like 50 or 60 replies today, if they were disingenuous questions, you won’t be getting answers.

            Graham caused some fatalities too, not at the level of a war criminal ofc, but still, he did some pretty bad damage so what i see is just an excuse to celebrate the death of someone you dislike;
            If everyone is human Graham included then Kissinger is too, yet you celebrated Kissinger death, which mean you deem one less human than the other which just look hypocrisy to me, this whole rule is bullshit but it’s even more bullshit how you all enforce it and remove it as you like for certain people

            You either enforce it for all or for no one, which IMO the better one is the 2nd option because the rule is just blatantly enforcing your own moral.

            Graham may get a footnote in future history books in the chapter on the fall of democracy in the western hemisphere.

      i mean while i agree, i don’t want to get into the habit of dehumanizing people (even if it feels fair play for any given specific person).

          Maybe we’re thinking of similar things, but I thought it took killing, not dehumanization. I mean it’s easier to convince a bunch of someones to kill someone else if you first dehumanize the someone else to the someones so I get where you’re coming from tho

        Agreed. The worst people in history were all still very much human. They had internal complexity that caused them to live the lives they lived and make the mistakes they did. And those humans were terrible people whose deaths deserve celebration, because they’re shining examples of which parts of humanity we should strive to avoid emulating.
