My homie asked me this hypothetical (shout-out @goodkid_mAAdposter) basically if I would kill myself rn if it meant I could have a george washington/vladimir lenin level of significance in history for whatever cause I believe in

Now I know if I ever tried something I would probably be remembered as the lady who sat on the buses before rosa parks but I couldn't really find a straight answer so I want to hear your guy's opinions.

Absolutely not, f*** a legacy I'm trying to live

No

not particularly no

Yeah let me die for political movements so I can get dunked on for all eternity for being an idealistic c***.

Just Have s***instead.

Depends on the context
If it’s just kinda happens sure but not out here trying to die

this is a fire slogan for a paramilitary recruitment ad

Never seen someone dunk on malcom x

A martyr?

There are very few situations I can imagine myself sacrificing my actual life for, imagine you die for a cause and it still fizzles out

FBI dunked all over him when they clipped his soul off the face of the earth, what?

Being involved with NOI congrats, you're a step away from scientology.

Imagine getting expelled from black scientology then dying over religion

It's not hard tbh you can dunk on anyone

Almost all of them do.
Most movements are not stronger than the man.

if i speak i am in big trouble

I mean being persecuted is integral to the idea of being a martyr and most people who champion his ideas do not prioritize his noi affiliation

I agree that malcom is divisive but no one man's impact will be universal but it can still influence so much yaknow

what

Yeah the founding fathers were slave owners with a handful of great ideas, they were still a bunch of self righteous c***s That are worshipped ad nauseum.

The point is anyone can get dunked on, doesn't mean he wasn't impactful or we wouldn't know who he was

maybe

Made me think of this from Epictetus Discourse

‘A man spoke with me today about accepting a priesthood of Augustus." I told him not to touch it. "You willay out a lot of money for little in return."

27 'But the clerk will add my name to public contracts.'

'Are you planning to be there every time a contract is signed, so you can announce to the assembled, "That's my name he's writing down there"?

28 Even if you can attend these signing ceremonies now, what will you do when you die?
'But my name will survive me.'
Carve it in stone and it will survive you just as well. Outside Nicopolis, though, no one is going to remember you.'
29 'But I get to wear a crown of gold.'
'If you have your heart set on wearing crowns, why not make one out of roses - you will look even more elegant in that?'

George Washington and Vladimir Lenin are an oasis apart regarding their historical legacies lmao

how would that legacy affect me when i'm dead?
if i die ion gaf bout no-body else.

shot 3 times and missed all 3

shot 3 times and missed all 3

What do people outside of the US know/think of George Washington other the obvious

when the FBI finds a clearly mentally unstable person on the internet
