Phrasing this as some kind of trivial disagreement is an extension of politics in the US being totally disconnected from the material conditions and lives of most everyday people. They literally can't comprehend the idea that executives should be held accountable for the death and destruction their companies leave behind
Motherfuckers saying "diagreements" like this guy got killed over his pizza topping or ice cream preferences or something.
I wonder if there's Americans who have seen the response to this guys death and been like "wait maybe I'm wrong here?"
shirley there has been at least one
I actually want you to call me Shirley, thanks
Keep going Shirley!!!
(Who's Shirley?)

It's a joke from the movie Airplane.

Jive ass dude ain't got no brains anyhow
(My bf is showing me all the clips and gags now since I've never seen the whole movie)
Probs said “we might disagree about who we voted for but we can still be friends”, or something, which is a load of bollocks.
That’s always absurd because they never shut up about how they want anyone to disagrees with them to die. Hell, some of their “disagreements with me” is that I disagree with the notion white men should decide who gets to live or die based on whether or not they find someone’s existence annoying.
Come to think of it, why are they claiming to be ok with having friendships with people they also claim they want nothing to do with?
It is a systemic problem to be sure, but that doesn't mean that enriching yourself through the extreme imisseration of others is somehow morally neutral. Like that american who went to Palestine, stole land and defended himself with "If I didn't steal it someone else would".
When your entire economic system is based on extreme inequality it makes sense that this is a line of thinking that would be both spread and adapted. I don't have to question why child workers are manufacturing my goods under extremely poor and dangerous conditions, it is just how the world is.
