Lennon once described himself as a pacifist and anarchist; on February 6, 2016, he tweeted, "AnCap is the only logical result of the non aggression [principle]. I am a pacifist so therefore an anarchist."
T minus 10 months before his hard drives are confiscated
Peak rich brat shit, just no material connection to anything so he bounces between total fucking nonsense ideologies until someday all the chickens come home to roost and he'll go rabid fascist.
Imagine there's no pronouns
It isn't hard to doIt
Imagine there's no pronouns, imagining there's no pronouns isn't hard to do.
Big talk from a guy with a woke letter in his name.
Is being the son of a Beatle not garnering him enough attention? Does he need to sprinkle on a little low-effort "anti-woke" grift to spice things up? That's the energy I'm getting.
Dont put it past him to just be a really shit person, much like his father before him
The least surprising thing of all time. John Lennon and Yoko Ono were both terrible people so it should come as no surprise that they abused their kids to an unbelievable degree.
That shit messes with your head forever.
I know all about John and why he was a piece of shit, what has Yoko done? Don't doubt you for a second, just haven't heard much about her
Julian turning out to be the one who ended up less damaged from Lennon is a twist.
was this the son he actually liked?
He should give peace a chance
John Lennon trying to get Sean to eat veggies as an infant: "Give peas a chance."
Wokism
i really liked the Claypool Lennon Delirium projects :c i wanted to believe that "gone are the days when your brand of genitalia would determine where to piss" line was like... meant in a pro-trans way but. not so sure now
My interpretation was to hope it was just along the same dumb ignorant lib brain shit as Les Claypool making a Zelenskyyyyyy song titled like "the man with the iron balls."
Damn he doesn't even consider Ukrainian kids or Russian kids puppies. That's harsh. And lib.
Yeah Claylool Lennon Delirium project was great. Oh well. Most artists are shitheads anyways.
Yeah I recently saw him and Les as the Frog Brigade and they did all of Pink Floyd's Animals, guy clearly can't comprehend the shit he's playing at all
the shit apple doesnt fall far from the shit tree, as they say
Mr Lahey, not another night of the shit abyss
Like father like son. Talentless hack with bad politics.
i just now realized i know nothing of Lennon's politics but just from a couple of songs I thought he was left-leaning if not socialist friendly
The way I see it, he was an archetypal radlib of the hippy era. He was very outspoken against the Vietnam war which is undeniably good, but it also served his popularity and image as a hippy counter-culture icon. Considering how much that ended up being the source of his wealth, it makes it hard to gauge how authentic it really was. No matter how anti-war he may have been, he was also vocally anti-communist and critical, even hostile and dismissive, of anything genuinely revolutionary. And I say "vocally" because he made it apparent not just in interviews and such but also in some of his most well known songs. He was one of those staunch "non-violent" "leftists" of the same type that today would be as loud about criticizing Hamas as he would be Israel for the former's use of violence instead of just doing peaceful marches and sit-ins in he face of the latter's genocide. Maybe that last part's unfair, as I'd like to think such an obvious genocide would have shaken him of the stereotypical hippy-dippy "make love not war! like just be peaceful, man!" dogmatism, but consider that "Just Give Peace a Chance" is now a catchphrase because it's a song he wrote. Also, his big anti-war action with respect to Vietnam was literally to hang out in bed in a hotel for his honeymoon while actual working people tended to his needs.
He was kind of just a hippy shitlib that abused his wife and other son.
"Imagine" is the most perfect distillation of liberal philosophical idealism, i.e. the notion that the world's problems are caused by people just having wrong ideas and if everyone could simply 'imagine' a peaceful world it would happen, rather than problems being the inevitable outcomes of current material conditions as determined by the dominant economic system.
Bad politics sure but I don't think calling him talentless is of any help. People can have a lot of artistic creativity and be absolutely clueless in the realm of complicated matters. Now, I totally agree that people calling The Beatles the best band ever are extremely shortsighted, but in their sphere of influence which is western popular contemporary music they were pioneers and did a lot of wild and interesting stuff.
I'm not saying this because I'm some massive fan or anything, I just think it's important to acknowledge that people who have bad politics aren't wholly decrepit human beings incapable of doing anything good, because not only it's factually wrong but also alienating for a lot of people and we don't want to alienate people.
i mean his dad was an abusive shithead and a self-proclaimed capitalist so it seems the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree
"Wokism" is a real thing to these chuds, huh?
Never has there been a greater made up phenomenon for the bored and aimless to grandstand off of. He's not going to do shit, he got the agreeable replies he was fishing for and now feels quelled.
Mark David Chapman was 5 years too late
So his son is also an anticommunist? Surprise surprise.
I thought he said "woRkERism" and thought we had a based (unseccessful) nepo baby for once.
Someone younger than him definitely told him his beliefs were outdated. And his response is "it's those damn kids who are wrong!"
What a doofus. I had a neutral opinion of him because his band didn't make outright horrible music. But I guess I'm going to dunk on him whenever I hear about him now.
How does he sleep at night?
Extremely soundly, on the most comfortable bed money can buy.
His father John Lenin was very based, yet another apple that fell far
Blursed image
This is what happens when you have Yellow Submarine take hold with a contingent of activists instead of a coherent cultural critique
O no
Man I kind of liked the Claypool Lennon Delirium too. Why are they all like this.
