Man, I liked doing Chuck Norris jokes but considering his political opinions, maybe it’s better like this.

Chuck Norris did not want anyone to cry after his death, so he became a black belt political asshole and nobody did.

Seconding, but Chuck Norris jokes were almost funny durring the golden age of the internet culture. We can do one more round, for old times sake.

We acknoleged that back then, as we do now. Let people have some fun at his expense.

The good old Brian the bastard tactic, I see.

Clint Eastwood is in a similar boat with his politics.

He didn't die. He went to hell to finish the job.

He didn't die, he's taken charge of the new 10th circle of hell where the sin of breaking the law in Texas is punished with eternal roundhouse kicks.

Echo chambers and social media have laid bare the hubris of human nature. He just went from being a private pos to a public one. There are good icons. You can spot them because they've always been open with their politics. Not just finding their voice in support of rising fascism.

Alan Ritchson comes to mind.

Chuck norris didn't die, he let the grim reaper win because he was ready.

Chuck Norris didn't die, he decided to vacation somewhere warm enough that he might work up his first sweat.

I remember looking at his twitter recently, it was a sad state of affairs, him shilling for whatever product would have him.

IWW4@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 143d

Everything he has ever made is garage. All his movies, TV Shows and songs were all crap. The Chuck Norris jokes elevated his status but he has never been anything other than a sad state of affairs.

I had no idea he was that old.

Good

daychilde@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 146d

To those downvoting - worth remembering that Norris became a religious nutjob in recent years.

Chuck Norris can clog a urinal

He pissed gravy?

Heikki2@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 146d

Probably something wrong with his prostate

Good luck chuck. The devil will certainly be a hard foe to blow.

I was surprised he actually held a championship because his stuff is so aweful.

Chuck Norris didn't die he's back at the pregame lobby
