  • No. Nobody is “owed” empathy, you garner it through your actions and circumstances, which is why I and millions of people have absolutely zero empathy for this scumbag. This is a very simple case of you reap what you sow.

    Murder can never be condoned or accepted, and it must be met with the appropriate consequences. I do however understand what would lead someone to believe their only hope for a future would be to put a bullet through this guy’s neck.

    It’s the Luigi situation all over. Nobody condones murder, but we empathise more with the killer than with the asshole who was fucking us over.

    Yes, it’s satire, but the thing with satire is that it ridicules something real.

    It’s like that “toddlers and tiaras” crap, at that point you’re way past what any sane person considers reasonable and you’re just abusing your kid and their right to privacy for your own ends - be it social recognition, or sympathy, or outright profit. It’s disgusting.





  • As is always the case, people don’t go out risking life and limb because they’re mildly inconvenienced, no matter how the broader media tries to paint it.

    They do it because they’re being systematically deprived of the very last few footholds they have on survival, on an escape, on a way forward with their lives.

    When you squeeze people so much, they have no option - if I’m going to starve to death as a slave, might as well cut out the long suffering and bring some of them down with me. That’s the general atmosphere here…
