Yeah I think later on he realized his whole “Give peace a chance” stuff was a complete disaster, that pulling out of Vietnam resulted in 2 million Cambodians being slaughtered which I heard shocked the hell out of him. They said he was even embarrassed by his song “Imagine” later on. He was a smart guy but he was extremely naive about the world as are most libs. He pretty much grew up in a bubble except for that time he was a struggling musician in Hamburg for a few years, but after that he lived in a cocoon the rest of his life. They get this idea in their head and they think “Oh there would be Utopia if only this and this happens” and it has no basis in reality whatsoever. They think “All people are nice” and then POW reality hits. That’s what killed him in my opinion. I’m 51 and grew up in New York city and back then when I was 16-17 I would always make damn sure I had my switch-blade. Everyone I knew had a weapon because we damn well knew the psychos out there but he didn’t.
