I agree, lets celebrate the leopards getting their faces eaten off. The leopard is actually just another human being who is really rich and owns the means to do the face eating.
When they share in the suffering they were inflicting on others, yes. It isn't like them suffering is going to cause additional suffering of innocent people.
Maybe their kids will learn and end up making better choices.
You completey misinterpreted my post. I am saying that it is the leopards who we should celebrate getting their faces eaten off. The leopards are the rich and powerful. You are a human being who celebrates the people in poverty, wage slaves, who work these distilleries, and the children of these wage slaves getting their faces eaten by the rich and powerful. You might even celebrate that proudly. I am saying maybe consider celebrating the rich and powerful getting their faces eaten off.
I agree, the suffering of the children of wage slaves may create good humans. Or maybe their lives are set up to continue worshipping their paycheck provided by their wage lords and renting the home provided by their land lords.
We should celebrate the suffering of the people who voted for the leopards too. They chose the leopards who bragged about eating faces.
As long as you are aware you cant tell of those people who work thise distilleries who voted for it or not, and you celebrate it knowing that you cant.
Youre just a proud asshole. Fair, as long as youre proud youre barely better than a republican,
Whats even better is youd rather see them suffer than seeing the ceos or shareholders suffer. You seemingly are no ally of the worker, that is getting clearer and clearer.
It's like you can't read.
Yeah, that's why I said:
How you leap to me not being mad at the CEOs who also voted for the leopards is some serious mental gymnastics. Good thing you are there to defend Republican voters though, I'm sure they appreciate it.
