In the past few days, I feel like I've seen a significant uptick in CEO sympathy comments, comments expressing righteous indignation about how anyone could possibly be celebrating the murder of an innocent widdle guy, etc.

Especially so in the comment sections of official news media posts.

My conspiracy brain take is some billionaire got upset that there was a little too much class solidarity and anti-CEO sentiment going around, and started writing checks to paid troll farm to try and get some control back over the narrative.

Oh, I'm sure there is organic versions of these sentiments going around.

It's more that, anecdotally for me at least, in the immediate aftermath of this event and the day after, the reaction seemed to be near universally positive even on the news agency posts, with only a few bootlicker posts sprinkled in.

Whereas today, the ratio to positive reaction to bootlicker seemed a lot closer to 50:50. I know it's not exactly a rigorous measure, but if it was entirely organic sentiment I don't think there would be such a rapid shift (that I may or may not just be imagining)
