The state funeral thing reminds me of an episode in the history of medieval Vietnam. In 1225, a new dynasty ("Tran Dynasty") came to power, replacing the Ly Dynasty.

The incoming Tran king announced a… state funeral… gathered all the prominent (and many not-so-prominent) members of the Ly family in an outdoor square for the solemn ceremonies, which were organized after promising a peaceful transfer of power. The Tran king eulogized the last Ly king with all sorts of laudatory remarks.

And then, from the surrounding thicket, soldiers pounced on the Ly family, killing hundreds. A few lucky survivors escaped the mess and made their way to Korea. They keep family records of their Vietnamese ancestry to this day.

The Tran family went on to rule until 1400 and nary a peep was heard from the Ly family again.

If Team Q were to organize such a spectacle for Timberwolf, I can't say I'd object.

Yes that is the BS that they taught (and I believe, still continue to teach) us in school.

The Soviet parallel was how they taught their children that the hammer and sickle represents the union of farmers and workers, when in fact it was a masonic-satanic symbol representing the Communist Party's asserted right to determine life and death of the people in its land.
