5 years ago today, milk snatcher kicked the bucket.
happy thatcher died day!
cry me a fucking river, she starved kiddies, covered up a pedo ring, let the police beat the shit out of the miners, dragged out the troubles, patronised a mother of a hillsborough victim whilst prolonging the smear campaign) and that wee Falkland war thing.
like is that democratic enough for you or shall I go on????
she also supported Apartheid in South Africa and buddied up with several dictators, like Chile’s Pinochet. she destroyed communities and left many parts of the UK in poverty they were barely able to recover from that are now suffering the brunt of austerity. so excuse us for not giving a shit about being respectful of a woman that ruined so many lives, when the legacy of her policies is still felt today.
Still, does celebrating death make you different? How does this show compassion and mercy to ones enemies? How much better are you from them?
Yes it does make us different. Celebrating a murderous bigot’s death is still motally loght years apart from supporting apartheid, cruel dictators, etc. How is celebrating the absence of an evil ethically analogous to being said evil?
Because it’s out of malice, not peace. You people care more about the person who died than the people who were allegidly hurt.
You’re the very monsters that you hunt. You’re no different.
Are you a mind-reader? How on earth can you claim with any certainty that the people celebrating the demise of evil people like Thatcher care more about vengeance than the people harmed? Moreover, how can you seperate vengeance from caring? If someone hurts a loved one, do you not desire for some semblance of justice to be delivered to the perpetrator?
Also, go fuck yourself for claiming apartheid, poverty, hunger, mass murder, torture, etc only “"allegedly”“ hurt people. Disgustingly disrespectful.
And lol, again, there is no moral equivalence between anti-apartheid activists and pro-apartheid ones. Between Pinochet sicking dogs on dissidents to rape them, and the people who fought to take him down.
I would, but not cheering about death, it would make me look like a savage.
I never said that I said Thatcher allegidlly hurt people.
There’s a big difference between a dictator from Chilie and a British Prime Minister.
Why? What is “savage” (lol nice connotations) about celebrating the end of something destructive?
You literally said “you people [leftists? people of color? everyone who isn’t sufficiently respectable of dead scumbags in your eyes?] care more about the person [Thatcher and the buddies she actively supported like Pinochet] who died than the people allegedly hurt.”
And nah, there’s really not a big difference lmao. It’s like trying to distance Saudi atrocities in Yemen today from the US support enabling said atrocities. Beyond disingenuous.
A radical or zelot is a prime example.
I did, what did “you” think I meant?
Well comparing the ME to the UK is a big difference is that the world will miss the UK if it were nuked.
I never heard of Pinochet before today but I knew Thatcher.
So you’re just admitting you’re way too ignorant about these matters to have an informed opinion then lmao
Anyway, Thatcher was an evil individual and people, especially those who directly suffered as a result of her actions have every right to celebrate.
This keeps coming around and — like, do people realize Thatcher died of old age and had the best of medical care up until the end? The people in these photos didn’t actually kill her, nor are they celebrating the death of a victim of violence.
