Sure. Mostly I tend to think it’s a weird thing to celebrate. He died at 89 at home, (probably) surrounded by family. Hardly a fate reserved for fascists.
Death is not justice, it’s just inevitable. Next there’ll be a post about how a neo-nazi really needed to poop for a while, but couldn’t find a bathroom, but finally found a bathroom, but there was no toilet paper.
I do understand that you’re expressing relief, not gladness, but the systems that bred him still exist, as do the systems that make his views oprobrious.
I’m reminded of my mother’s reaction when Pinochet died (the junta imprisoned my grandfather for a little less than a year and a lot of the rest of the family fled). She shrugged and said he died old and happy and what difference did his dying make in the world?
