State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Such a sweet beautiful person, she will be missed.
R.I.P.
I live in EastTN, and she has had a profound impact with her generosity and charity in the poorest area’s around here.
Very sad, from what I know about her she was a very kind person who was very generous with helping people. We will miss her.
Very sad but not surprising since she took and promoted the death shot and called anyone who didn’t a chicken shit…
I was raised to not speak poorly of the dead.
Sort of like beating up on a little child unable to defend themselves.
Dolly was deceived like so many in America about “Trusting the science” and you and a “liberty” fellow in Busted Knuckle site busts her about it.
Lol Shoo Fly…
Ok, I was trying to be gentlemanly about it, but I’ll bite. Dolly could easily have taken the shots if she really thought they were a good idea. And then she could have kept her mouth shut about it, and that would’ve been that. But, being a celebrity of some repute, she chose to use the bully pulpit her status and reputation afforded her to encourage others to get the shitshots.
She also at least once characterized those of us who refused to play along as “chickenshits”, which was just pettiness for it’s own sake. Now, that doesn’t really bother me, as I’ve been called far worse (and didn’t really care about any of those insults, either) but the fact is that her publicly taking up in support of the shots, and using her influence to have others do the same, creates culpability, and detracts from her otherwise sterling image.
Here’s a thought exercise: if stephen colbert drops dead tomorrow, would anyone here actually object to posthumously slagging that snarky little shit, who gave the world that cringeworthy “vaxscene” song and dance number? I rather doubt it. And here’s the point: the difference between Dolly and colbert is only a matter of degree. I’ll cut Dolly some slack, as I acknowledge the good things she did. But she gets points taken off in the last quarter of play for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Yea how many people died from listening to her because they thought she was kind and wonderful…She promoted and funded an untested death shot that she probably received compensation for so she definitely has blood on her hands for that…
No wonder why she passed on, the clot shot killed her and accelerated her issues before the shot. I didn’t follow her but what I do know she started to become woke with dei hollyweird ideas like most of these actors and singers are and that’s when she started going off the rails . Be that as it may she will have to answer to God on judgement day of why she adopted lunatic ideas in her old age.
Phil how do you go from Dolly was a kind person that did much for so many to
SNIP Be that as it may she will have to answer to God on judgement day of why she adopted lunatic ideas in her old age.
in less than 2 hours?
Are you that easily swayed by people taking poorly of the dead over the COVID Vaxx that you have to jump in also?
Are you aware of Dollys background? Do you realize she was just deceived like so many others about “Trusting the Science” and all that?
SNIP Parton has described her upbringing as one of extreme financial hardship, yet she never felt ashamed of it, crediting her parents for instilling resilience, creativity, and a strong sense of family
.
Her father worked tirelessly in the mountains and took on construction jobs to supplement the family income, while her mother, often in poor health, encouraged Dolly’s musical talents and kept the household running
. These experiences not only highlight the material poverty she endured but also the resourcefulness and determination that would later define her career.
And she never forgot those poor folk she came from, providing much in literacy and schools all her life.
One must hope your death will be celebrated for doing far more with your intelligence and resistance to foolish ideas.
Speaking poorly of the dead. SMH
Are you kidding me, I didn’t know she took the vaccine shots until I read it on this site. I can only comment on what I read concerning her past, be that as it may I still think she was a decent person helping other’s even though she was following after Hollywood weirdos as she got entered her 70’s.
You see, there are many people in this world who do right things but are not Gods elect and that’s what’s written in the scripture , so when I say she will be judged as we all will on that day we need to make sure you are right. I wasn’t judging her only her actions will be judged as we all.
Luke 6:45
A Tree and its Fruit
…44For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles. 45The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. 46Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?…
Ephesians 4:
New Life in Christ
…28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need. 29Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.…
If you’re judging who is God’s elect, maybe you need to wash your mirror.
Matthew 7:3–5 (NIV)
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? … You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
God WILL judge both you and I. I can only pray for His Mercy as I’m not capable of judging “God’s Elect” as you are.
I could add a few examples of our Lord Jesus forgiving the woman at the well, (and so on about forgiveness) but you seem to have a lot of “bible knowledge”.
A lot more than what you think but head knowledge and quoting verses do not get people into the kingdom my friend. Even satan and the fallen ones know what the scriptures state and they deny the power of the one who created them, they are totally deceived by there own wicked hearts and power, and on judgement day they will all be cast into a place God had specifically prepared for them.
Just a reminder:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjfT6H6QUIA
And YES, when someone dies is the ABSOLUTE RIGHT TIME to bring up their sins, etc. FAR TOO MANY will be fawning over them as if they were god’s chosen angels.
Truth is its own defense. Whatever one feels about this woman, she has all the answers now. RIP, Mrs. Dean.
I never heard any of this Covid shot business surrounding Dolly Parton. You all are genius’ after the fact. Dolly was a great lady.
If she did take the shots then this was the main reason why she passed on. if her health was failing the shots pushed her along to an untimely death. Whatever the case it’s water under the bridge now.
I never had heard of this before either. I posted an article that I thought would allow people to express their feelings on her passing. I did not expect the vitriol and backlash that was unleashed. As for its veracity, here is Grok’s response concerning her support and use of the Moderna gene therapy:
In a March 2021 video while receiving her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (which her $1 million donation helped fund research for), Dolly Parton encouraged others to get vaccinated and said something to the effect of: “I just want to say to all of you cowards out there — don’t be such a chicken squat. Get out there and get your shot.”
bbc.co.uk
She deliberately softened the common slang “chickenshit” (or “chicken shit”) to “chicken squat,” while also calling hesitant people “cowards.” She paired this with a playful rewrite of her song “Jolene” (“Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine…”) and emphasized she was serious about promoting vaccination. Multiple outlets (BBC, NPR, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, People, Forbes, etc.) reported the quote consistently as “chicken squat.”
theguardian.com
This was part of her public push for the vaccine after previously waiting her turn so it wouldn’t appear she was jumping the line.
Geniuses after the fact? Her actions are documented on video. Just because you didn’t see it at the time doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I saw it, and it was one of the first things that came to my mind when I heard she had passed.
I’m trying not to be an asshole here, but I tire of those who want only to praise and commend her, and feign indignation that the truth would be spoken, even if it’s unflattering to her otherwise decent reputation. Her public actions regarding the COVID shots had real deleterious consequences. They also demonstrated a false pride over a misinformed belief that has since been proven wrong (that the shots were safe and effective, or even neccessary to begin with) which she followed on by insulting those of us who knew from the start that they weren’t.
That justifies a certain amount of criticism, and I give no one involved in that shameful episode of mass delusion a free pass on their culpability. Some of us have, in fact, been keeping score.
Big Ruckus help me understand.
COVID and the not a vaxx happened. Never to be undone and nasty results like probably Dolly’s turbo cancer still to be tallied.
Much yelling and “I told you so” happened.
Dolly was a small part of that “promoting” that nastiness. BTW please point out WHEN she did it and WHEN it became PUBLIC INFORMATION that the COVID not a vaxx WAS A PROBLEM.
I have coffee, I’ll wait. I know the answer, but you’ll learn more if you research it yourself.
So far not one keyboard hero here has done squat to the “villains” that DID the COVID nastiness to us.
So, I suppose it’s only reasonable in some eyes here to vent nastiness on a dead woman than did MASSIVE Charity and Kindness across Appalachia and the USA in general.
YEAH, there are Videos of her KINDNESS ALSO, in case you failed to notice.
But be PROUD, you can spit on her grave. Good Job.
Keep score on the above facts. Let me know when some of the real criminals in COVID get punished by the “righteous ones”.
Do come on now. You seem to be intent on defending her reputation, despite the fact she was an active participant in the campaign to pressure the public via celebrity endorsement and shaming tactics (there was also an entire raft of other incentive campaigns, remember the free donuts if you showed your vaxx card?) as well as by financially underwriting the development of the shots.
Like it or not, that creates culpability on her part. Maybe not to the same extent as someone like Fauci or Birx, but responsibility still needs to be ascribed. As I already said, she could easily have privately taken the shots for herself (if she believed they were that critically important) and said not one further word about it, but instead she used her position as someone a lot of people admired and trusted (needlessly, I maintain, as they did so solely for the fact she was a celebrity, but that’s another matter that entire dissertations could be written on).
You try to characterize this as my spitting on her grave. A leap like that will get you into a Nike commerical. Speaking the truth on the verifiable conduct of someone who has just passed is not speaking poorly of them, it is leveling legitimate criticism of their actions while alive. If you find that tasteless, that’s your problem, and I am under no obligation to stick to some social code you wish to impose just because my factual remarks offend your tender sensibilities.
Giving people who had a hand in doing something bad a pass, just because it is considered uncouth to do so right after they’ve died gives them an undeserved pass for their conduct. When do you think it would be appropriate to broach this issue? In 3 months? 6 months? A year? It has come up now, because it is relevant to her life, and she is in the news because she passed away, thus the revisiting of this information was inevitable.
In any case, I’ve already spent enough effort on this subject, those who agree with my remarks get where I’m coming from, those who disagree just don’t, and probably never will. It is little different from the debates that took place during the height of COVID, where someone like myself who refused to be constrained to the accepted narrative would make a good faith effort to try and impart relevant information on those who bought the mainstream “facts” hook line and sinker. These people came to a point where they would often demand a source to back up my assertions. If I provided a source, they would immediately dismiss it as either inadequate or debunked. They never actually wanted a source, it was just a disingenuous tactic to end the debate, because they were too uncomfortable with having to listen to somebody say something that didn’t agree with their preconceived notions.
I learned very quickly to tell such people to piss off when they asked for a source. I would also to point out that they had access to the very same internet that I did, and the only thing keeping them from researching information that didn’t comport with what they already believed were their own biases. You have your point of view on this matter presently under discussion, and it is fundamentally different from mine. I’ll not bother further arguing the matter with you, because you don’t want to understand my position. You want me to capitulate, and admit to you that I’m wrong for criticizing Dolly Parton for her role in the COVID hysteria. Which I will not do, because I’m not.
He’s a kike or a fed which pretty much the same thing these days Brother which is why I just laugh at him…
Well, I genuinely try to give everyone a fair shake until I’ve determined through a pattern of behavior that they are on the “not worth the effort” list. I guess get to add one more…
So, facts really don’t matter Big Ruckus?
I’ve read your posts for years and generally you think, not just follow the loudest mouths here.
I asked you to look up when the general public “Knew the Not a Vaxx was dangerous” as an explanation why Dolly promoted it.
You were too busy I suppose.
Pew Research points out something pretty scary.
https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2023/05/16/what-americans-think-about-covid-19-vaccines/
(Long after Dolly’s “evil” promotions)
SNIP for the too busy folks
The unprecedented speed of development for the coronavirus vaccines was widely hailed as an achievement for science. But the public’s comfort with the long-term impacts of these vaccines still has much room to grow. A majority of Americans continue to say the statement “we don’t really know yet if there are serious health risks from COVID-19 vaccines” describes their views very or somewhat well. This view is about as widely held today as it was in August 2021, less than a year after vaccines became widely available.
The average American *Still* thinks vaguely IF at ALL that the Not a Vaxx was maybe not a good idea.
5 YEARS AFTER the COVID push (which sadly Dolly helped a little).
IF Big Ruckus THINKS this Pew is Bullshit, PLEASE WALK around Walmart with a clipboard and ASK folks if the COVID Vaxx is dangerous and causes medical problems.
It would be an eye opening event for you, sir.
People seem to forget that sites like Appalachian Renegade where we talk about NOT A VAXX and such things like oil issues and such are NOT Mainstream.
The % of Americans that visit Feral Irishman and such is a ROUNDING ERROR compared to mainstream media.
For those who cannot do math, that means they DON’T Hear our discussions here on Renegade (and so on).
Joe 6 pack doesn’t know. Mass media rules for them. They THINK FOX is “edgy alt news”.
What was the chance Dolly Parton ever even read about the ill effects of the Not a Vaxx?
Well, I genuinely try to give everyone a fair shake until I’ve determined through a pattern of behavior that they are on the “not worth the effort” list. I guess get to add one more…
Sorry to hear that since clearly, you’re RIGHT and will never think perhaps there was more to think and research about.
Ok, here’s the only fact that matters: I, and countless others, knew merely by our gut that the shots were garbage the day they became available. We didn’t need experts to do studies and prove it for us years later (which was far too late to do any good anyway, as was fully their intent). We who knew used out natural, God given ability for discernment. Sometimes that’s all one has to rely on, because all the official sources, experts and institutions are compromised and are part of the scam.
So, no, you don’t get to give Dolly a pass because there was no officially sanctioned information available to her at the time to help her figure out what was really going on. That was the entire point of the whole exercise, to bullshit the whole world into making a horrible decision. Those of us who realized early (I guess we were all just savants of some sort, eh?) had only the following to make the call on:
1. It was a hastily developed treatment of experimental nature. Developing and properly testing a vaccine takes 10-20 years, typically. Just by virtue of the rush job, we knew it had to be bullshit. Then they added blanket legal immunity to the manufacturers of these shots for any harm done.
2. It was of a fairly new type of treatment – MRNA – never successfully used before. It did have a long record of failure and deleterious effects in all prior test uses. This was strike 2 against it’s rapid, wide acceptance.
3. The absolute full court press psyop that was undertaken to persuade as many people as possible to get the shots was unnaturally forceful, and took on a tone of derangement that made it all the more suspicious, in the minds of those of us who already knew better.
4. The punitive nature of the reaction unleashed by officialdom (and then mirrored by countless Karens) against those of us who refused, and in turn the complete disregard for our rights, served only to bolster our suspicions and our insolence against authoritarians.
5. The official story kept changing so rapidly, that our vindication came fairly early in the rollout. First, it was two shots and you were protected. The it was the need for additional boosters. Then it was “the shots work, but don’t impart sterilizing immunity”. Then it was the fact the shots appeared to do nothing (good) at all, as those who took them multiple times still got horribly sick with COVID. Oh, and they could still spread it to others. That’s some vaccine they had there, wasn’t it?
6. Backtracking for a minute, in the lead up to all of the above, the very definition of a vaccine, which had been unchanged for decades, was suddenly and inexplicably watered down to allow a mere therapeutic to pass muster as a vaccine, which allowed them to sell this shit as something it never was. This was a gross representation, and on its own is justification to pillory every sonofabitch involved.
Never mind the fact that all the institutions that were supposed to protect against exactly this sort of scenario were, in point of fact, directly involved in its propagation. Therefore, there were no official “good guys” who could have interceded on behalf of logic and reason, because they were all pushing the bullshit in lockstep.
Ergo, we had only our own judgement and discernment to rely upon. It turned out that was more than good enough, because we skeptics who warned about the risks and downsides have been proven correct in nearly every one of the red flags we raised, with the passage of time. Those who lacked our superior ability (and sense of self preservation against bad medical science) to discern what was actually going on don’t get excused because they didn’t know better.
My ire is directed especially those who took an outsized role in actively making the situation worse. Dolly was one of the latter, an active and willing participant in goading others to make a terrible mistake; a force multiplier, in essence. Yet you persist in wanting to defend her for doing so, and take umbrage at my insistence that she be called out for her part in perpetrating a crime against humanity.
Don’t bother trying to rebut this, because you clearly have nothing further to bring to the discourse. I, meanwhile, have meticulously outlined exactly where I’m coming from (and why) and fully expect that my efforts still won’t be adequate to get you to understand, because you don’t want to. Exactly as happened countless times during the height of COVID when fruitless debates occurred with NPC’s who could never be convinced of their errors.
That’s all, folks.
Indeed. Very long list of videos on YouTube. I’m sure if you “followed her” on social media, I’m sure you would have been bombarded once the jab came out. She made a point of being VERY PUBLIC about her donations to Vanderbilt, her celebration of getting the jab, and her open condemnation of anyone questioning the jab, even accusing folks of being cowards for not getting the jab. Sorry some of you missed all of that. That does NOT diminish our awareness however.
Meh. She lost me when she decided to purge all mention of Dixie from her Dollywood park to make the DEI/BLM assholes happy.
There you go, deceivers , deceiving themselves as well as others to satisfy the belly of the beast the Democrat satanic party created. Anyone or anybody who does these wicked things in my book are wicked doers of evil.
