I’m not even going to pretend that I know what’s going on here. Feel like I’ve been living under a rock.
I feel like I need to go suck on a car exhaust for a few minutes so I can understand the grammar.
I’m trying not to laugh like a maniac here in the office hahahaha
Imagine still using Facebook in the 2020s.
I find the usage of “llf” is a good indicator of the type of person they are.
It’s all very reminiscent of Noah’s army isn’t it. And with NA you sort of “get” it- young fella, goes missing and dies in mysterious circumstances, very sympathetic victim etc. You can see why people got behind it.
But this guy? Seriously? Why?!?
This group is absolutely batshit insane. They’ve footage of some random German motorcyclist up saying he told them where the body was then moved it somewhere else. On a motorcycle during the day. Talk of people getting plastic surgery to avoid detection etc. Still collecting money too.
Who’s squabbling in those DMs?
Ahh, the bin juice of society.
The education system in this country is more fucked than I thought.
I’ve unashamedly been reading those pages for a humour break from my, what I now recognise is, very normal life.
What blows my mind is the AMOUNT of comments and likes the posts get? There’s influencers who would pay for that kind of engagement 🤣
They’re all now falling in love with the guy , seriously. Creepy “handsome ” posts incoming …
Tracey knos her baxing so she does and jesus he was good.
John George’s transformation into a folk hero isn’t new; it’s a classic case of romanticizing the outlaw. Think Jesse James, Pablo Escobar, or even Robin Hood. These figures often emerge from marginalized communities where systemic inequality, state neglect, and violence are rampant. John George, as a paramilitary drug dealer, fits the mould: he’s a product of a chaotic environment where the lines between criminality and survival blur.
On Facebook, his story is being reshaped into a narrative of resistance. He’s not just a drug dealer; he’s a “man of the people,” a “victim of the system,” or even a “martyr.” This is how folk heroes are born—through selective storytelling that amplifies certain traits (bravery, loyalty, rebellion) while downplaying others (violence, exploitation, harm). The digital age accelerates this process, as memes, posts, and shared stories create a feedback loop of myth-making.
Facebook, especially in working-class or marginalized communities, is a hotbed for what some might dismiss as “low-class nonsense.” But let’s not be elitist here—this “nonsense” is a form of cultural production. It’s where people make sense of their world, often through humor, exaggeration, and shared symbols.
John George’s apotheosis is being fueled by memes, RIP posts, and conspiracy theories. These aren’t just random acts of digital noise; they’re a way for people to assert agency in a world where they feel powerless. By elevating John George, they’re sticking it to the system, even if only symbolically. It’s a form of resistance, however flawed or problematic – on the same spectrum of culture as the sanctification of Luigi Mangione.
Let’s not sugarcoat it: John George was a violent criminal. But his glorification points to a deeper issue—the normalization of violence in communities where the state has failed. When the police are corrupt, the economy is broken, and social services are nonexistent, people turn to alternative systems of power. Drug dealers and paramilitaries often fill that void, offering protection, employment, and a sense of order.
On Facebook, this translates into a perverse admiration for figures like John George. His violence is reframed as strength, his criminal empire as entrepreneurial hustle. This isn’t just about individual morality; it’s about a broken system that produces and then romanticizes its own monsters.
The term “apotheosis” is key here. John George isn’t just being remembered; he’s being deified. This process involves stripping away the complexities of his life and reducing him to a symbol. On Facebook, this looks like endless posts about his “code of honour,” his “loyalty to his people,” and his “untimely death at the hands of enemies.” The messy reality of his life—the harm he caused, the lives he destroyed—gets erased in favor of a cleaner, more heroic narrative.
This isn’t unique to John George. It’s how myths work. They simplify and amplify, turning flawed humans into larger-than-life figures. In the digital age, this process happens at warp speed, as algorithms prioritize sensational content and echo chambers reinforce shared beliefs.
Finally, let’s talk about the politics of grieving. Not everyone who dies becomes a folk hero. John George’s apotheosis is deeply tied to his identity and the community he represented. If he were, say, a wealthy banker or a politician, his death would likely be met with indifference or even glee. But because he’s seen as a “man of the people” (even if that’s a constructed image), his death becomes a rallying point.
This raises uncomfortable questions about who we valorise and why. Are we celebrating John George because he was truly a hero, or because he represents something we wish we could be—powerful, fearless, free from the constraints of a broken system? And what does it say about us that we need these myths to make sense of our world?
Tell ya what, I feel a migraine coming on after reading through that. The spelling & grammar is absolutely atrocious.
Salt of the earth but.
Never seen as much support for a drug dealer ,
I don’t wish anyone to die
But play with fire long enough you’ll get burned
FUCKING BRING IT ON TANYA!!
What an utter eejit to even joke about being a tout with the paramilitaries. It doesn’t excuse the murder, but it also makes you wonder how he lasted as long as he did.
This saga really has it all – Murder, Drugs, OnlyFans, XL Bullies, Turkey Teeth & Shite Tattoos.
A modern day John Grisham novel.

Lowest common denominator.
All of them.
A scathing indictment of the northern Irish school system
Are those real names?
