I always see the death of journalists as a great tragedy and injustice when they're targeted in the name of imperial interests. But man, American journalists need a goddamn purge.

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. What's stopping them from doing the same thing to Luigi? What's really going to be different?

Not trying to be a doomer, I sincerely hope that these outrageous acts all push the people's revolution counter up by 1 and it'll eventually hit a breaking point.

True but Epstein represented the decades-strong conspiracy theory of the existence of a cabal of wealthy and influential pedophiles. Pedophiles alone are pretty much universally hated, let alone people using their status to prey on children. Killing Epstein as brazenly as they did was a huge fuck you to the world and they got away with it fully.

They were stupid to kill Epstein the way they did, it was so transparent that it would be hard to find people who genuinely believe that he killed himself. People make jokes about it to this day - yet what really came of it? What changes even if they behave brazenly and people know?

Poor things must have been freezing, what with his lizard blood and all

Who cares, it's gold, we should spread it around everywhere anyway. God knows they'd be doing it if the shoe was on the other foot.

As an aside, reading that article filled me with disgust. They glaze the dead fascist and turn the protestor into some kind of boogeyman with barely any mention of the fact that he was executed by police. There might be little we can do about such acts of state injustice, but surely we can wage an online framing war against the pieces of shit who write these articles?

Most people in my life at least take the author’s side

Most people in your life probably parrot whatever the media tells them. When it's a rich white dude, it's "nobody deserves to die," when it's brown women and children, it's "Israel has a right to ~~commit genocide~~ defend itself." Ask them how they reacted when Bin Laden was killed, because as far as I remember the crackers were all celebrating then. Now how do we make that harmonise with "nobody deserves to die"?

Bit idea: Calling this ghoul's death a "supposed" murder.
