    I love that on SNL last night the mention of Luigi on Weekend Update was met with enough cheers that made Colin Jost have to stop and wait for the cheers to die down before telling his joke.

    It’s incredibly enlightening that all these pearl clutching fuckers like Mayorkas decry violence and violent rhetoric but see no violence in the way this industry hurts and kills people en masse every day.

    Why do they keep framing him as a father as if that should make us feel empathy?

    Osama bin Laden was a father to 23 fucking kids.

      The fucking asshoke fucked over and denied care to fucking children with cancer.

      He also fucked over who knows how many other people, many of whom were also parents.

      The all had family. And he fucked then all over without a single moment of regret.

      His kids get to inherit his blood money. So fuck them too.

    The social media rhetoric is a response to the material conditions. If people weren’t regularly pushed to bankruptcy or left to die by the “Delay Deny Defend” industry, they wouldn’t have any malice towards the industry’s leaders. If the industry didn’t give nearly everyone a reason to hate what Brian Thompson represented, they wouldn’t have celebrated his death.

    What’s alarming is people have been pushed to the point where they would consider Luigi’s actions justified.

    Ya know what’s extremely alarming? Children dying of preventable causes because an insurance exec and their board want more profit. What’s not alarming? A CEO became another statistic.

    Another out of touch gasbag. Take his pension like C suite jerks have taken other people and he would get it.
