    They’re a bunch of fucking monkeys, jumping around like savages, scratching their armpits, and throwing shit at the walls. I don’t want to live in a world where people so entirely lack a moral compass that they can cheer on murder as an outlet for their anger.

      So you’d rather live in a world where indirect murder and death are normalized. You are fine with people dying as long as it’s “clean” and orderly. As long as it’s always discussed calmly in the abstract, and in terms of statistics, percentages, economics, and policy.

      You want to act like you are morally superior to everybody because you’re “rational” and would never stoop to dank meme about a super rich CEO of a multi-billion dollar insurance corpo.

      Well let me put it in terms you might appreciate: This CEO’s death shouldn’t be mourned because the world is a slightly better place now that he is dead. He made millions of dollars and lived a more lavish lifestyle than 99.99% of people will ever experience. And he did that with money he made by causing the deaths and suffering of thousands of innocent, vulnerable people via the policies and practices of the company he was in charge of for years.

      See? Cold, abstract, and calm. Is that “rational” enough for you?

      Anger is often an indication of one’s moral compass. If you’re not angry at the tens of thousands who die because of a lack of health insurance, or because of illegitimate denials of their health care, something is very wrong with you. This man was a monster cut from the same cloth as any murderer or terrorist.

        The only deference between a ceo and a serial killer is typically the class they were born in.
