There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

It really is the joker quote about how it's all well and good so long as everything is going "according to plan" the deviation from 'the plan' on the other hand? Everyone loses their minds.

Look at the comment section any time a hate crime happens, it's full of the hivemind spamming the annoying laugh emoji but then those same people are sobbing that a white collar criminal is the victim for a change.

All he had to do was say that. But no, he really showed his ass.

"Poors die of lack of resources as porky hoards them all? No problem, gotta respect the heckin' property rights bro! Porky gets baconized? Now hold on, this time the victim is a NON-POOR! It's the end of the world!"

Some people deserve to be murdered, for example, health insurance CEOs

we need an emoji of the screen cap of starship troopers where the guy is communicating with the queen bug and is like "it's scared"

"The natural human reaction to all of this is to first be horrified that a husband and father of two children was murdered. The second reaction is to wonder who planned this and whether they have also planned more hits, against other UnitedHealth executives or leaders of other companies."

We can only hope.

" If there is some kind of organized effort to target CEOs with violence to win applause from the public, that ought to fail because the American public would be repulsed by it. All of us need to be repulsed by this murder. Basic human decency and a commitment to a free society demand it."

Bruh... the US just elected a convicted felon and rapist to the highest level office in the US... Don't talk to us about human decency and commitment to a free society.
