Friendly reminder that chuck norris was a magat.

So don't grieve for the loss of an action movie star who hasn't been relevant for closer to 20 years than not. Cheer for having one less nazi in the world.

    I can do both.

    I have fond memories watching him in Walker Texas ranger. I can be sad that that piece is gone.

    And also be happy that a large influencer of MAGA can no longer spread hate.

    It’s possible to have conflicting emotions.

    hey hey! you! no being complex creatures! one note beings only, get back in line please.

    i mean you've just accurately described how i feel too. i did martial arts growing up. Walker Texas Ranger and Karat Kid had a major role in that. I was in damn good shape because of that, at least for me. I probably could have done one chinup

    chuck norris was a maga

    This is very true.

    This is also not relevant to the image we use for memes, and we choose to respect the image of the person he is not, because that's a better person to mourn and keeps the memes alive.

    Chuck Norris went out of his way to be very vocally political, supporting the worst element of politics of the past couple decades. Of course his death is going to be politicized.

    There are many good people who die every day - people who cared for others, didn't discriminate, didn't belittle race, sex, gender, or wanting a better world.

    Chuck Norris was not such a person, and deserves no sympathy from me.

    Don't care

    I won't dance in his grave, but he was a christo fascist supporting magat.

    People like him deserve little sympathy

    The best Chuck Norris joke was Chuck Norris himself.

    Farewell, sweet punchline.
