Like “killing people for internet points” isn’t a novel thing, 8chan produces these guys all the time. Do you think maybe the guy with the funny Monopoly money backpack and engraved bullets might have been killing someone for internet points? Do you think we’re immune - ThreadSky

So your argument is what exactly?

murder happens.

Leaders used to be afraid to do what this guy was doing because of fear of retribution. in the 80’s things many CEOs began looking at customers and employees as free-game. History is full of violent revolution, so I don’t get the expectation we have evolved past that in a year we elected Trump.

Let’s say he *is* doing it for internet points.
What does it say about an industry, a country, and a person, when the ENTIRE internet is like “Oh, well, sucks to suck. Who’s next?” as a reaction to one’s murder?

When people *do* murder for internet points, it's always 8chan types that livestream it and then shoot themselves at the end because that's the kind of people they are.

Whoever this guy was clearly had a plan to (maybe) never get caught. Probably feeling smug rn as hell at the reaction though.

I wish there was better discourse about the death penalty. There's a lot of people who are dishonestly against it, and it stops discourse about fundamental opposition to it.

Unpack this. People are DISHONESTLY against the death penalty? I guess if you yourself are on death row, yeah, you might not be arguing against capital punishment in good faith. But who else? Real question!

To be clear, I don't put people who are indifferent about the event in that bucket, just those who see it as a genuine form of justice.

Not really true tbh, you can read leftists from outside america about this to realize the "parasyte class is not to be cried or mourn just like its victims are not" has been a popular idea for decades. And its a class narrative that works well because its how capitalism works. Its comprobable.

alanrmexia.bsky.social•90 days ago

Thinking you can only say things like this out of memes and its not a coherent ideology that has been held for a long time is pretty silly tbh. Its like ignoring the world.

How many deaths do you have to be responsible for before it's okay to feel schadenfreude at your death?
