    God you people live in an authoritarian wasteland of a country.

    How the fuck does the government have this much control over the media?

    I don’t work for Comcast and I never will, so let me say this for all of the affected workers:

    Fuck him. I will not mourn him. He registers as nothing more than a statistic to me. I’d much rather spend my time mourning children getting mowed down at school than him.

    Anyway, hope that gives the workers some relief.

    I was frustrated that Canadian news outlets were downplaying who he really was. They’re also saying people who are celebrating his death should be ashamed.

    He contributed to death, ignorance, misinfo, and leading youth into the alt right pipeline. People should be able to participate in politics without risk of their life.

    People should also participate in good faith and shouldn’t be allowed to lie or steal. In a just system, these people would be held accountable by the courts. People also should not be allowed to advocate for things that directly or indirectly cause hatred, racism, discrimination, etc.

    I don’t feel ashamed for feeling okay with this situation. At most, I feel bad for his kids, but I felt bad for them regardless of this situation.

    Idk man. It’s dumb
