Imagine a bunch of privileged celebrities singing John Lennon's Imagine. What could go wrong?

Aside from horrid voices - let's just laugh at the irony of a bunch of hoarding celebrities singing lyrics of "Imagine all the people sharing all the world" as they continue to hoard their cash and live in beachside mansions. Honestly just made me fall over laughing lol.


Do these fucking morons even read the lyrics they sing?

Yeah, that was fucking disgusting. The lack of self awareness in that group is astonishing. Wait... I mean, totally expected.

But like, who can sing it then? The average Joe that is hoarding his first world benefits when there is people starving to death a continent or two away, living on 10cents pr day? That would be tone deaf on Joes behalf right? :)

Curious...why are celebrities considered “wealth hoarders”? Did they not work for it? Other than a few like Kardashians or those born with silver spoons, I’d say most of the celebrities in those videos earned their keep.

OP, are you, by chance, related to your grandfather? Because you sound like him.

Gal Gadot is less wealthy and famous and "privileged" than John was when he made that song.

I was going to poke fun at you asking if the OP was related to his grandfather, but then realized that is actually a very fitting question for this thread, and is more legitimate concern than what the OP is diarrhaging about. So, OP, did you actually descend from your grandfather in the usual sense (although it does bring the question of, is your grandfather also your father?), or is it more that you like just separated from him, possibly as a booger, or maybe he shat you out, perhaps his asshole prolapsed and then separated entirely? Are you one of those brain eating amoebas made sentient or cognizant? Clearly not self aware. Wait, you're a zombie virus and just have taken over a host, rotting his brain, but able to manipulate his physical being for your perpetuation.

The bolded by me part is simply too much.

The answer is no one.

No one should sing a shit song because it is musically shit. But on top of that - it's hilarious because anyone that sings it is definitely never the first to ever suggest the actions that they are singing.

The concept doesn't apply to me, because I don't believe in communist utopia - but for those that do and think this song is an ideal we should follow.... put your money where your mouth is ;)

People: "Don't you dare take my money! CAPITALISM! FYGM! If you don't make 6 figures and have 10 years' expenses saved up you're a moron!"

Same people: "How dare you sing a song? YOU HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY! You can't sing unless you give other people your money!"

Not an issue with me. Had I a chance to have been a hippy I would have held down a blue collar job, taken a bath and washed my long hair every day, cooked for myself instead of eating expired products out of the Safeway dumpster. And no hard drugs. That would have been so so far far out. I would have gone to live in Yosemite Valley and hiked 120 miles back into the wilderness and left no wine bottles and trash in the on the valley floor partying at night and screaming 'pigs' at the rangers too drunk to know what I was doing. There may have been some real hippies once but anything sacred or holy about them was almost instantly slimmed by what was then and to become the worthless among the Boomers, the real pigs sucking the life out of one another. I hear there were 73 real hippies and they all sailed away out of San Francisco bay, the flowers in their hair, gone to grave yards everywhere. And except for the ones that disappeared over the horizon I'd have hated the whole lot.

Indeed, I do sense the darkness in you. We appreciate you trying to keep a lid on it.

Paradox, the resolution of opposites at a higher level of understanding is a very confusing idea and that is because the confusion can only be resolved at a higher level of understanding.

Let us think about light and dark and the unconscious associations connected with them as an example. In the first place you can't have one without the other so right away you know they don't exist they are simply the product of dualistic thinking. No other animal thinks like that. No other animal experiences existential angst. This means that light and dark are of equal value, one not being better than the other, since neither one exists.

So what does exist. I think it is our truth as determined by our feelings. Some feelings we call light and some we call dark, but sadly we do not feel them so they never exist as they really are. Instead we experience opinions about how we feel and react to how we feel about those opinions. And we invest in those opinions by believing the are real in the sense of accurately reflection reality. But we don't see reality. We see only duality

The phenomenon of duality can collapse but never by the effort of ego because the belief in duality creates the ego and the ego is there to protect us from the horrible truth that everything we believe is a lie. But it happens sometimes for those who suffer immeasurably and let go, or to those who perhaps practice forms of meditation designed to kill thought. Or perthaps we have some peak experience and the glorious beauty of the universe gets past our filters.

Additionally, since there is no light and dark there are on other opposites either, no such thing as good and evil. All there is are opinions we have that we internalized and suppressed out of conscious awareness that we are bad people when we feel certain feelings. As the result of a rather unusual and fortuitous set of experiences earlier in my life, where the darkness came crashing in to claim me, I was forced to stare hopelessness in the face to the point where I was forced to realize there was no way out for me. It was going to be impossible for me every again to be happy and I surrendered to that reality. That is when duality collapsed for me and I experienced calmness and peace. I understood everything is meaningless including my need for meaning. There was no such need. It was a fiction created by duality.

So you will excuse me if i suggest you do not see the darkness in me but that when you look at me you may begin to see what you don't want to see, what I couldn't avoid seeing myself. I went into uncharted waters where the monsters lurk and now they are my friends. At depth and burned to ash, we are the sun, the moon, and the star born to hoot and cavort as we swing through life's trees.

It's been observed many many times that the same was true of Lennon and Ono when they recorded it.

I'm indifferent to it all myself. And this celeb thing is just standard celeb behaviour, meriting a barely perceptible eye-roll but no more. Surely everyone is used to that sort of thing by now?

Yesterday I found the supermarket had been completely stripped bare. All I got from my shopping trip was a pot of yoghurt (I only wanted some fruit, but that was all gone). Outside threats tend to drive people apart, and set them to furiously fighting each other. Disputes are breaking out all over, over who is going to pay the price of the inevitable economic downturn.

I mean, in WW1 people starved because the wealthy ate more than their share of the limited food supply. In WW2 we had rationing and avoided that. People don't naturally pull together in a crisis, it requires a state to ensure that happens. But when the state is run by idiots, we have a problem.
