Would you get your kids vaccinated against COVID? in Coronavirus ·
briskdrifter3 said:I’ve been censored once before for speaking my mind regarding childhood vaccinations, but I find myself compelled to say it again.
They will have to go through me—dead and buried—before they touch my children with those needles.
You might want to make a note of that in your reports for your superiors...
You are playing with fire....

This is a textbook example of how irresponsible parents can jeopardize the health and lives of both their own children and everyone else's. The reason "everyone else" matters is because unvaccinated kids become carriers within the school system.

Quarantine Life in Coronavirus ·
In my view, penalties should only be handed out to those who have actually been issued a formal self-isolation order and then decided to break it.
cosmiclynx79 said:Right now, a colleague is taking massive advantage of me, and I didn't even realize it until my parents pointed it out. Apparently, I’m just too naive and "too nice" for my own good. They suggested I need to start acting with more wisdom. It’s possible I’m dealing with a straight-up manipulator here. Who knows.

In my experience, people were warning me that a colleague was exploiting me because I did all the heavy lifting while he took all the credit. And looking at it through their lens, they were absolutely right. By their standards, and by most general social standards, I was being used. But by my own internal compass? Not even close. In my value system, the roles were actually reversed: I was the one benefiting from him, because I had the privilege of handling the parts of the job I actually enjoyed, while he was stuck with the tedious, soul-crushing grunt work. So yes, I let him take the credit. But frankly, it didn't matter to me. It truly wasn't a big deal. That said, if you want to actually get your life in order, you have to know exactly who you are and what you actually want. You can't let other people's perspectives sway you. And of course, you shouldn't let anyone walk all over you, either.
Mods are letting hate speech slide in the political section in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Take this post for example:
you and your brainwashed, mercenary mind...

That label was slapped on me simply because the author couldn't find a single legitimate argument to counter my positions. It has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand; it’s a textbook ad hominem attack. You can't characterize that statement as anything other than hate speech, because instead of debating the actual points, they chose to express pure intolerance by insulting the individual holding a different view.

For Cuke and the rest of the moderators running this political forum, I suppose such behavior is perfectly acceptable. But let’s be honest: there is zero consistency here. Insulting other users is seemingly permitted as long as you're one of their own, while anyone presenting an "unacceptable" viewpoint gets penalized for fabricated trolling.

Because of this biased and primitive moderation, I decided to walk away from this Political Forum for a long stretch. I simply have no desire to endure insults from users who, shielded by the moderators, vent their hatred toward anyone with a differing opinion.

The Political Forum has become toxic, poisoned by intolerance and blatant favoritism. It has turned into an echo chamber reserved only for those who fall in line.
Chuck's at it again, playing favorites with double standards in Banned Users Corner ·
Will Chuck face any consequences for policing anyone who dares to have a different opinion, or am I just going to get my ban lifted?

Or is this just how it works—my account gets restricted while Chuck continues to moderate the political subreddits by scrubbing anything "inappropriate" just to ensure his own worldview remains the undisputed standard?
Chuck's at it again, playing favorites with double standards in Banned Users Corner ·
Chuck just banned me. I’m the one who got hit with the hammer, while @komutator didn't even attempt to have a real discussion—he was nothing but pure provocation from the start. Here is the full transcript of the argument:

It all kicked off when I decided to fire back at Chuck’s latest post.

Chuck said:And why on earth were they against this entire thing?

The current state of patriotism in America is undergoing a profound and troubling transformation, and frankly, I find the recent trends deeply unsettling. We are witnessing a shift where the very concept of national devotion is being hijacked by those who prioritize divisive rhetoric over genuine unity. It isn't just about loving one’s country anymore; it has become a tool used to manufacture division, often fueled by the most sensationalist elements of tabloid journalism in the US. I remember back when my grandfather used to speak about what it meant to serve this nation. To him, patriotism wasn't a loud, performative gesture designed to alienate your neighbor; it was a quiet, steadfast commitment to the principles that hold our society together. He believed that true love for America meant working to make it better for everyone, not just using the flag as a shield to deflect legitimate criticism. Today, that nuance seems to have vanished entirely. We see political factions, much like the core segments of the Republican Party, weaponizing national identity to create an "us versus them" mentality. They take the sacred symbols of our history and twist them to serve short-term political gains. This isn't leadership; it's manipulation. When you reduce a complex, beautiful idea like patriotism to a series of aggressive slogans, you don't strengthen the country—you erode the social fabric that prevents us from fracturing completely. It is incredibly frustrating to watch how easily people are swayed by this manufactured outrage. There is a growing segment of the population that views any questioning of certain policies as an attack on the nation itself. This intellectual dishonesty is dangerous. If we cannot engage in rigorous debate about our direction as a country without being labeled "unpatriotic," then we have lost the ability to govern ourselves effectively. We need to return to a more mature, thoughtful form of civic engagement. Real patriotism requires the courage to admit when we are wrong and the humility to listen to voices that differ from our own. Without that, we aren't building a stronger America; we are simply feeding a cycle of resentment that serves only those looking to profit from chaos.

Whose interests are they actually protecting over there? In my opinion, those two are clearly voting against us just to serve their own agendas.

How can they live with themselves? Seriously, where is the sense of decency?


Eric Smith86 said:This really belongs under the thread regarding tabloid journalism in the US.

What’s the news? They voted against visa reciprocity.
What on earth is this headline even trying to say? They basically just voted against the core interests of America.

Do you notice the discrepancy here? In any functional democracy, an editorial board has a responsibility to be transparent about its position. A headline ought to be objective—its sole purpose should be to announce the news at hand. If the publication wants to include an editorial stance, they can certainly do so, provided it is explicitly labeled as such.

Honestly, they should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

Politics is about so much more than just putting on a show of strength for the rest of the world. It’s actually driven by something far more trivial than anyone cares to admit.

Chuck, you really owed me an actual response to my last post. Why on earth do you believe that a confrontation with the US over visa issues is a pursuit worth risking our entire relationship with America? You should have just let Eric Smith86 finish his point instead of jumping in to ban me without even addressing the substance of what I wrote.

Let's keep this moving. I was actually just echoing what Chuck said, but instead of getting a response from him, I ended up getting hit with an answer from @komutator.

I have to say, I’ve been staring at this topic for a while now, and it strikes me how much people overlook the fundamental mechanics of how things actually function. We talk about high-level concepts all day, but if you don't understand the basic components—the actual moving parts that allow for a connection to be made and broken—you aren't really getting anywhere. It reminds me of a situation I ran into back when I was working a technical consulting gig in Chicago. We were dealing with a piece of heavy machinery that kept stalling out, and everyone was looking at the software, blaming the digital interface. It turned out to be a simple physical failure in the commutator. The connection wasn't being maintained because the hardware itself couldn't handle the transition. In life, and certainly in politics or business, we tend to focus on the "current" or the big ideas, but we ignore the mechanism that actually facilitates the flow. If the component responsible for switching the direction or maintaining the contact is flawed, the entire system fails, no matter how much power you feed into it. You can have all the energy in the world, but without a functional way to direct it, you're just spinning your wheels. It’s basic engineering, yet it seems to be a concept lost on most people today. kaže:
In Defense of the Republican Party’s Alleged Betrayal Are you truly prepared to bend the very fabric of space-time toward infinity?.
The prosperity of this nation depends entirely on our ability to thrive within the framework of the European Union and maintain our strategic standing there. It is, quite frankly, a vital national interest.

Eric Smith86 said:Nobody in the European Union is going to give us any grief just because Americans need to deal with visa requirements to get into the States.

I'm going to be blunt here: if you're looking for a deep dive into the mechanics of a commutator, you’ve come to the right place, because most people treat technical components like they're magic rather than engineering. In any DC motor, the commutator is essentially the unsung hero that keeps everything moving in one direction. It acts as a rotary switch, constantly flipping the direction of current flow within the armature to ensure that the magnetic force keeps pushing the rotor around instead of just stalling out. Without that precise, rhythmic switching, you wouldn't have a functioning motor—you'd just have an expensive paperweight. I remember back when I was working on an old industrial generator in Chicago, we had a unit where the commutator was heavily pitted due to poor maintenance. If you don't respect the contact surface and the brush pressure, the whole system fails. It’s all about that seamless transition between segments. You can't have gaps or carbon buildup, or you'll lose torque and start seeing massive sparking. It's basic physics, really, but it requires precision. If you're trying to troubleshoot a motor that’s stuttering or losing power, stop looking at the easy fixes and start inspecting the commutator and the brushes. That's usually where the real battle is won or lost. kaže:
You’re being incredibly tiresome and transparent. With that whole concept of warping space... Defending yet another one of the Republican Party's treacherous betrayals.

Eric Smith86 said:If "bending the truth" is really the only card you have left to play, does that mean you don't actually have a single legitimate argument to stand on?

I got banned for this. Meanwhile, @komutator, who just keeps repeating himself like some mindless parrot about how I’m "distorting the facts," hasn't been banned. How am I supposed to respond to him when he won't even attempt to engage with my actual points? He doesn't debate my views; he just keeps chanting that I'm twisting reality
.

Then @električni_zec jumped into the thread, and here is how I respond when someone actually wants to have a real discussion. I rely on arguments, not insults:

Eric Smith86 said:I agree that eliminating visa requirements is in our best interest, but we have to weigh the cost. We need to consider potential friction with the USA, which will likely trigger consequences that we, as American citizens, haven't been fully briefed on. Without that data, we can't have a competent discussion or determine whether our interests are being betrayed or if it was simply more important to protect ourselves from possible fallout.


But what am I supposed to say to @komutator? He's allowed to incessantly drone on about how I'm distorting the truth, yet he hasn't made a single effort to actually debate me.

And so, because Chuck has no real rebuttal to my post, he kicks me out of the conversation for "trolling." I’m not trolling @komutator, who acts like a parrot repeating that I'm warping the narrative. If anything, I'm the one being accused of trolling just because I pointed out his behavior—quite politely and without any insults, I might add.

In that very same thread, I don't see why the Scammer wasn't punished for this:
Scammer said:Is it even possible for you, with your paid-off, brainwashed mind, to comprehend...

Chuck, what exactly is going on here? Is the Republican Party off-limits from criticism? And apparently, anyone expressing an opinion outside the "approved" narrative is fair game for personal insults?
Is Big Brother
at work here?
Linda King As I was saying:
You forgot. Those absolute degenerates.. 🕺 And what, specifically, was it that rubbed you the wrong way?

Here is my post that was deleted from the thread. If I understood Charles Fox10 correctly, I’m allowed to call him out right here, since commenting on moderation within the main discussion is prohibited—that's what the private message system is for.

This was my response to Amanda Hughes37 before it got nuked, so you can judge for yourself:

Quote:
I’m afraid I have to decline that particular request. While I appreciate the sentiment, I prefer to keep our interactions strictly professional and focused on the topics at hand. Let's get back to the discussion. kaže:
These people aren't experts—not by a long shot. They’re nothing more than opportunists looking to score points. I’ve seen this pattern play out dozens of times before, where individuals masquerade as authorities just to push a specific agenda, and frankly, it’s insulting to anyone with half a brain. Real expertise requires accountability and actual results, neither of which these clowns possess. It’s all smoke and mirrors, plain and simple. Those shameless scoundrels. With those Republican credentials in their pockets, it’s honestly laughable. How much do they actually realize about what the public thinks of these so-called "experts" who just happen to carry Republican IDs? The fact that they went to such extreme lengths to hide their true affiliations—sneaking around like snakes in the grass—tells you everything you need to know about how little they respect the American people.
Those people were nothing more than mere puppets, dancing exactly to the tune being played by the masterminds pulling the strings from the shadows.
And let’s be honest: they fed us that entire criminal theory about the autumn season, and it turned out to be nothing more than a blatant lie.
The elections were supposed to take place at the beginning of September. Looking back, the infection numbers at that time weren't actually any higher than what we saw in July—it was just that the testing volume was significantly lower then. It’s quite obvious when you look at the data.

So, let me get this straight—those "experts" of yours are nothing more than a bunch of clowns. Absolute garbage....rather than actual experts—just your typical Republican. Absolute scoundrels. Pure, unadulterated bottom-feeders. Which ones are in there solely because they have a Republican party card?
And what exactly are we looking at in terms of numbers? Absolute incompetents. The reality of the situation clearly demonstrates that... That little jerk. For months, Beroš kept the entire national healthcare system paralyzed, all because of a mere few hundred infections. Now that we’ve hit the four to five thousand mark, suddenly everything is up and running again? It’s absolutely absurd.
Absolute incompetents.Absolutely unbelievable.
And them, along with this one too. You pathetic, weak-willed loser. They’re finally going to dismantle this entire country and leave a massive chunk of the population starving. And honestly? Let them.
It really comes down to this: either we see a genuine movement driven by the people, or we face the alternative. There isn't much middle ground left. I honestly hope they all just starve to death..

Not even today. I’m just going to say it: this is complete and utter bullshit. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin with the sheer level of nonsense being peddled here. It’s exhausting. The way this national headquarters is being hailed as some kind of flawless masterpiece—and how everyone feels compelled to shower them with applause—is exactly why we need to rethink our entire approach to democracy. It’s a glaring indicator that we should probably stop assuming that the right to vote is something granted automatically by birthright. Honestly, we ought to implement some form of fundamental competency test, because... Absolute morons. I’ve been thinking about this, and frankly, I don't believe they should be granted the right to vote.
At the end of the day, we have to face the hard truth: the collective good of society must take precedence over individual rights. It’s a difficult pill to swallow for some, but when you look at how a community functions, the stability of the whole is what allows any individual to thrive in the first place. If everyone insists on absolute autonomy without regard for the common interest, the entire social fabric unravels. We can't just prioritize one person's whims when those whims threaten the security and well-being of the nation. It’s about balance, and sometimes, that means making the tough call to put the majority ahead of the few. A bunch of underpowered, brainwashed, and utterly limited idiots..
We took a much more relaxed approach here compared to everyone else. Aside from the fact that they shut everything down immediately—just like other countries did—we barely conducted any testing at all. And honestly, that’s exactly why we keep getting criticized on the international stage. Who knows what our actual numbers would have looked like if we had been testing at the same volume as the rest of the world?

As if any of these losers carrying party membership cards actually give a damn... and frankly, they probably don't even have the mental capacity to comprehend what's being written anyway.

No, they aren't coming back. They won't return because entire families are leaving. Working abroad and then bringing the family home was something you did during the hated Yugoslavia era; now, in America, under the rule of this "nation-building" Republican party—as some pathetic little corporate lackey put it—people are packing up their whole lives, selling off their ancestral homes for pennies, and they have absolutely no intention of ever returning.
And the meager scraps they send back to their elderly parents just so they don't starve? Only some corrupt, parasitic bureaucrat could possibly view that as a positive. These people are too dim-witted and brainwashed to realize this is long-term suicide—once the elderly pass away, the remittances will dry up too.

Even the rest of the world was locked down at that time... how is that not clear to you?
That same local task force in California practically has zero infections, even while numbers are skyrocketing in Italy and a huge chunk of their population is basically commuting to Italy on a daily basis.
Personally, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to let this little fat pig Beroš and that spineless degenerate Capak take a walk and get some actual instructions.

It is truly fascinating how corporate trolls feel no shame in writing about things they openly admit they know nothing about.
California’s tourism reached about 75% of last year's levels, and if you ignore the lockdown months and look at July and August, they are over 90%.
Nobody comes close to them.
But then again, they've been on the political fringes since this Republican regime was first established—so it suits them perfectly.

That doesn't surprise me one bit... these thieving scumbags from a criminal organization will try every possible way to silence critics just so they can keep stealing in peace.

I find your communication style quite interesting, particularly the sheer richness of your vocabulary. I should note that this is just a summary from a single post of yours:

shameless bastards
absolute garbage
brazen scoundrels
incompetent idiots
that little pig
Incompetent idiots
anemic pig
let them starve
to talk trash
total idiots
incapacitated, brainwashed, and limited morons
some corporate lackey
corrupt, parasitic bureaucrat
too dim-witted and brainwashed
little fat pig
spineless degenerate
corporate trolls
thieving scumbags


These are highlights from just one of your posts, and it's interesting to me that such language is tolerated. It seems it's tolerated for certain people, at least.

I would like to address this specific part of your rather fascinating and highly educational argument:
total idiots shouldn't have the right to vote, after all.

Fundamentally, I agree, but the issue is: who decides who the "total idiots" are? It's clear to me that you are already assuming the right to act as judge and jury. But when the Party determines that through its own officials, that is called totalitarianism.
This post, along with several others following this discussion, has been deleted.
Charles Fox10 said:Hmm, regarding those boundaries—look, we aren't a court of law here, but we really ought to respect certain standards. Even the Supreme Court of the United States established a precedent in the Hitrec - Mesić case when they ruled:
“Therefore, the limits of acceptable criticism are broader in the case of a politician as an individual than they are for private citizens. Unlike a private citizen, a politician is inevitably and consciously more open to close scrutiny of their every word and deed, and accordingly, must exhibit a higher degree of tolerance,”

Your posts were deleted because you’re picking at the moderators on a thread where people usually get a ban for doing exactly that. I get what your point was, so it was just scrubbed, and frankly, the author isn't even the topic of this specific discussion. I realize some of the phrasing isn't my cup of tea either, but good grief, let’s not start introducing censorship.

Thanks for the explanation.

If I’ve followed your logic correctly, tolerance for insults and vulgarity increases if the target is someone holding public office rather than a forum user or a regular person.

Perhaps it escaped your notice that some of the insults hurled by @kiss_me are actually directed at fellow users. For instance, "as some sandwich-making jerk said" refers to a user, which means it's directed at me. Personally, I don't find it offensive because I can't be insulted by someone debating at such a bottom-tier level. However, it was stated as an insult, so I am asking that you remain consistent.

Furthermore, the statement "total idiots shouldn't have the right to vote anyway" wasn't aimed at politicians; it was aimed at all American citizens who vote differently than @kiss_me.

It's clear that in the sea of insults @kiss_me wrote, someone skimming the post might have missed that. That is why I am speaking up; I hope the rules will be applied consistently toward @kiss_me as well.
First off, I want to extend my appreciation to the moderators for deleting my posts without issuing me a formal strike.

I am specifically calling out the highly inappropriate language used by user kiss_me in this particular post.

The content was written with an extreme lack of civility, which is why in my reply, I highlighted specific phrases that I believe have absolutely no place in decent, civilized human discourse. In just one single post, kiss_me resorts to the following vocabulary:

shameless bastards
dick of a sheep
shameless scoundrels
incompetent idiots
that little prick
Incompetent idiots
anemic prick
let them starve to death
to talk shit
total idiots
underqualified, brainwashed, and limited morons
some sandwich-eating prick
cronyistic parasites and similar leeches
too stupid and overly drugged up
little fat prick
characterless pig
sandwich-eating trolls
thieving pieces of shit


The posts where I attempted to point out this offensive language were scrubbed, yet the original post containing all the insults remains untouched.

Since the offending post has been allowed to stay, it implies that the moderation team finds this level of expression acceptable. However, pointing out that it isn't? That is apparently unacceptable.

A complete failure on the part of the moderators.

Furthermore, I’ve noticed a glaring inconsistency in how rules are applied. This kind of vulgarity seems to be tolerated only when certain specific users are the ones speaking.
Kenneth Jones70 said:Here’s what I’m thinking—things should start hitting the fan this week for regular folks, especially couples torn apart by this morbid decision.

I’m sending an email to the Department of Justice tomorrow morning. Naturally, I’ll be citing the U.S. Constitution and all those international treaties we signed that guarantee nobody can just restrict your freedom of movement.

There are thousands of couples in America being screwed over right now.

Is this really okay with them? Just dropping an "indefinite" ruling like that and making people suffer?

The government needs to let these couples move freely. And look, I’m not saying this as some "softie" who can't function without a girlfriend or partner.

I can handle it, sure—but it’s just not mentally healthy to have the government telling you that you can't see your significant other.

They need to fix this law immediately and allow travel from point A to point B.

The real question is when someone is going to snap—and I might be the first one to hop in my car and end up in a holding cell because I refuse to run from the cops.

My take is that while extraordinary laws might be passed during a national emergency to temporarily suspend certain rights, those measures shouldn't last forever. If an emergency order is declared "indefinite," it must automatically expire the moment the pandemic is officially declared over.

We absolutely have to highlight the specific hardship faced by separated couples so that the government provides some sort of legal exemption to resolve the issue.

John Perez13 said:Writing this while my thoughts are still "fresh."
Watched this film yesterday—a documentary, a concert... I'm not quite sure how to categorize it.

I went to the theater purely out of curiosity. To be honest, I walked in loaded with prejudices, ready to condemn what looked like a messy, unorganized concert from the jump. I fully expected to suffer through two hours of watching some half-dead guy—exhausted, drained of all life. I thought someone would have to hold the microphone for him while he stood on stage, drugged out like a puppet, staring into space while a playback track did all the singing!

It’s not that I’m a massive fan of his music—though I own every single one of his albums—but I’m not the type of person who travels abroad just to catch a show. I understand his reggaeton and his dancing much better.
That was actually the main reason I went to see the film. I wanted to see what was left of that dance virtuoso who, even at 85, could pull off body isolations like nobody else.

And I have to admit, I am completely blown away. My girlfriend and I agreed that it’s a genuine tragedy the concert wasn't held live. What fascinated me most was seeing a man in his 50s, who has clearly been 100% worn down by life, still dancing like he's 20 years old. The body isolations... that moonwalk... combined with those classic songs... at one point, several people actually stood up and started dancing right there in the theater.
It was just too good. I seriously recommend everyone go see this concert!

I second that.
I went in with zero expectations, just stumbled upon it, and ended up completely stunned.
The way he moves, the way he sings, the sheer intensity he brings to the music—it’s incredible. And the sound quality? Flawless. This film is definitely worth your time.

I have completely changed my mind about that man.

Michael Jackson: "We give the love back to the audience."
This Is It (2009) in Movies ·
Larry Cruz51 said:The film is absolutely fantastic for the fans, mainly because it features so much music throughout the runtime.👍

It is truly remarkable how Michael Jackson still possesses those incredible moves and how perfectly everyone knows their parts... simply flawless!

Those who watched it without being true devotees mentioned finding it a bit dull, as they were expecting more behind-the-scenes action—more chatting with the dancers, the singers, and so on...

It honestly feels like you were right there at a Michael Jackson Dangerous Tour Rehearsal, which was wonderful for me (especially since I was actually one of those people who bought tickets for the concert that ended up being canceled):-)

An absolute Epic fail at the premiere: this one guy imitating Michael Jackson was just terrible.😂
The founder of an American fan club gave such a pathetic, overly sentimental speech that the entire audience couldn't help but laugh. It felt as if Michael Jackson were lying in a casket right in front of her while she spoke... and then, to top it all off, she sent him a message in English saying, 'If you are there...'🤣

I’ve never been much of a fan of his, to be honest. I ended up seeing that movie entirely by accident because my friends dragged me along, and frankly, I actually regretted agreeing to go.

And once the footage had played out just a bit further, it finally hit me like a ton of bricks: Michael Jackson had died!

I honestly don't even know how to begin describing that complete reversal. Contrary to what anyone would expect, MJ remains absolutely captivating even in his later years, specifically because of the sheer speed and explosive energy he brings to the stage. He has assembled a crew of dancers who don't just work for him—they worship him. These performers grew up looking up to him as their ultimate inspiration, and now they’re finally living out their lifelong dreams by sharing the stage with him.

And then we arrive at absolute perfection. We’re talking about a masterclass in vocal ability, movement, and pure musicality. MJ possessed these lightning-fast dance moves—that signature rhythm of move-pause-move-pause—where every single pause was punctuated perfectly by a drum hit or a sharp beat in the music. He moved with this otherworldly grace, almost like he was floating, or like he was walking forward while some invisible force was pulling him in the opposite direction. Honestly, looking at how thin he was, he was practically skin and bones; it makes you wonder where on earth he pulled all that energy from.

There is absolutely no playback happening here. What we are witnessing is pure, top-tier professionalism. He assembled an incredible group of musicians and meticulously crafted a spectacular production. Every song is accompanied by custom-made video visuals designed to complement the music—which some people might mistake for playback, but that’s a complete misunderstanding of the craft. These visuals are carefully synced to mirror the energy of the original music videos. Of course, MJ surrounds himself with the best in the business—vocal specialists, world-class musicians, and elite choreographers—but at the core of it all is his singular vision. He dictates exactly how a song needs to sound, how every note should be played, precisely how a track concludes, and exactly how the choreography should unfold. It is his blueprint from start to finish.

He passed away just a few days before that first concert was set to kick off. The stage was absolutely flawless—we’re talking high-end video backdrops perfectly synced to the performance, a tight group of dancers, a world-class band... everything was primed and ready. After months of grueling rehearsals, the music and choreography were in total lockstep, all wrapped up in a style that was unmistakably his and unlike anything else out there.

And now, he's gone. Just like that.

There are people left standing in the wake of months of grueling, relentless work—all those intense preparations they went through alongside MJ. They were the ones feeling that crushing tension in their chests right before he stepped out for the first performance, and by the end, they absolutely adored him. Now, he’s gone, and all of that shared history, all that effort and emotion, feels like it has vanished into thin air. There is nothing left.

Just imagine the kind of people who are standing there right now, completely ready to put on a massive show, only to find out there’s absolutely nothing left to perform. It’s honestly pathetic.

I’ve never really considered myself an MJ fan, but honestly? This is something you absolutely have to see.

Good grief, 🙂

It’s such a damn shame I didn't grab those tickets for Vienna instead. 🙂
