      Old assholes die.

      New assholes are born.

      But I’ve never seen a year when they stopped being in charge.

    David Lynch, age 78, died in 2025.

    Marianne Faithfull, age 78, died in 2025.

    A pattern possibly?

    "To understand revolutionary suicide it is first necessary to have an idea of reactionary suicide, for the two are very different. Reactionary suicide: the reaction of a man who takes his own life in response to social conditions that overwhelm him and condemn him to helplessness.”

    “I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth. This belief lies at the heart of the concept of revolutionary suicide. Thus it is better to oppose the forces that would drive me to self-murder than to endure them. Although I risk the likelihood of death, there is at least the possibility, if not the probability, of changing intolerable conditions.”

    “But before we die, how shall we live? I say with hope and dignity; and if premature death is the result, that death has a meaning reactionary suicide can never have. It is the price of self-respect.”

    – Dr. Huey P. Newton

    Given how shit’s going, it’s likely WE will die of age related complications before any of them.

        With access to presidential health care, and complete control of the government, anything short of a brain aneurism—or a bullet—can be solved by doctors.

        We just need a doctor who is flexible in that oath.

        I just want to note that it’s taken only a decade since the Greatest Generation mostly died off for Boomers and Gen X to destroy American democracy.
