2. I don’t think we have to imagine for long…

3. The best satire is mostly true.

4. Rule of thug and arbitrary criminalization of dissent are the necessary steps en route to communism, we’re almost there folks.

5. “Imagine no bacon too…”

   “Unless the courts intervene or the state temporarily allows non-compliant meat to be sold in the state, California will lose almost all of its pork supply, much of which comes from Iowa…”

   “At least initially, analysts predict that even as California pork prices soar, customers elsewhere in the country will see little difference. Eventually, California’s new rules could become a national standard because processors can’t afford to ignore the market in such a large state.”

   1. China has a carefully isolated pig stockpile.

      We have a strategic costume bunker. It’s located deep in the Canadian Shield (from when we could still build mines). Only a select few have access to the shoe polish sub-levels. CODENAME: TICKLETRUNK // SUB-CODENAME: UNCLE CHE

   2. L – I predict the formation of an Ad Hog Alliance of Californians for pork. People of all ethnic backgrounds and races, brought together by love, a love of pork.

      Their banner: E Pluribus Unum, California the red meat state. Bacon&Eggs, the state breakfast.

      If Larry Elder, adds the defence of pork in his recall platform, he could be Governor.
      “Bring home the bacon, vote Larry Elder”

   3. I think they will ignore Cali because so far they have. How many Iowa producers are controlled by CCP and this is another point of leverage?

6. While I am anti communist to max, I believe some people make way too big a deal about this silly love song. I’ve always seen it as a catchy little tune with a clever chord progression and nothing to get my Fruit of the Looms in a knot over. Made John and Yoko a little wealthier, I imagine.

   1. Love the tune, hate the sentiment.

      Imagine no possessions? Really? What an odd sentiment for a near-Billionaire. What an odd sentiment for a gold-digging “Artist” who got her claws into Lennon for her own edification.

      Imagine no countries? That’s what Byedin-Heiress have been doing since late Jan. 2021 … and it’s an unmitigated disaster (same with Europe)

      Imagine no Religion? Can we extend that to include the “Religion” of Global Warming? Can we extend that to include the “Religion” of mis-applied, mis-understood “science”?

      Imagine no Heaven? As if a nihilistic life is somehow superior? Wherein nothing has any meaning or value whatsoever?

      Imagine is a sweet-sounding tune about utter destruction. The destruction of Western morals, values, and culture. The destruction of capitalism (which ironically made Lennon wealthy beyond his wildest dreams). It’s hardly a “love song” … it’s the Revolutionary song that The Beatles mocked in Revolution

      My only complaint about the parody is that it was not very well written. It doesn’t rise to the quality of the Lennon tune and lyrics. It’s a great concept to contrast the reality of Lenin’s, err Lennon’s lyrics … but it fell short for me.

      1. ^This, yes. John Lennon was a parlor Commie from the moment the dollars began flowing like the Mersey in flood. Also a really nasty human being in a lot of other ways. His original lyrics didn’t need to be changed, the meaning has always been clear.

         Imagine this, twat (extends middle finger)!!!

      2. Oh I get what the “conservative” objections to the song are. I just can’t bring myself to see it as a big deal. To me, it’s just another song and I doubt very much it’s triggered any actual revolutions. Lennon was maybe the worst communist ever. Anyway, I couldn’t listen to the entire parody as, I agree, it’s poorly done. Now don’t get me started on Louie Louie! 😉

         1. I enumerated the ‘big deals’ … the imagining of a world without the things Lennon imagined were “bad” for people is rather shallow and dangerous. Every one of the things he imagines doing-away-with are what has made Western culture and progress so great.

            And yes … everything the Marxist Democrat Party has been doing appears to be using this idiotic set of lyrics as a template for the destruction of America. I consider that Revolutionary. And dangerous.

            Shallow song lyrics and sloganeering is what the Left does best.

            1. Clutching your pearls over the lyrics to Imagine doesn’t persuade me of your argument which I again assure you that I’m not missing. However, if you’re going to pin communist revolutions on words, you’ve got the wrong Lennon. If anything, it was John Lennon’s hypocrisy that got him assassinated by a disgruntled and disillusioned believer. I believe he more than paid the price for his careless words.

7. I’m thinking that the Babylon Bee discovered John Lennon’s original manuscript before his marketing team suggested a few tweaks.

8. Comedy should make you laugh, not applaud because you agree with the comic’s viewpoint.

   Communism sucks and “Imagine” is ripe for parody, but this song didn’t make me laugh.

   1. Good point. Parody was poorly done.
