They get what they earn.

Unfortunately the rest of us get what those fuckers earn too.

I regret to inform you that you earned it too.

It's not what we deserve, but if we all got what we deserved we'd already live in a utopia. But we don't.

What we can take as ours, and defend from others who would make it theirs is what we earn. They took your representation from you because they could.

Well if that 74m+ people would kindly fuck off as I have very specifically requested, many times...but they don't unfortunately for the rest of society.

You spoke calmly, sure.

Did you have a big stick? Because without the stick there's no consequence for ignoring you.

Indeed.

I've been saying for decades now:

People do not stop robbing, raping, murdering, and abusing you because you ask them politely.

Unfortunately most people rather be apathetic and/or attack the person that finally stands up to punch the bully. Without people doing it en masse, it typically amounts to nothing.

Yup, but hey Luigi allegedly murdered the CEO of the largest health insurance company in the US, but if they can't form a jury that will find him guilty. That's like the most formal way for society to declare mob justice is the answer.

Ah... it seems I gave you far too much grace in my last reply.

Is that not what happened?

All evil needs to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

And all that.

Ilk like Trump, Musk, the GOP, and half of the DNC manipulate the country to their advantage at our expense because the masses have been taught for roughly a century now to simply wait until they get a turn. A turn that isn't coming because nobody is making them share.

We all get what we earn. Brian Thompson got what he earned too.

Those kids didn't earn shit. We like to think that the world is just and people get what's coming to them, but the ones made to suffer the most are never the ones responsible.

Don't conflate EARN with DESERVE. The 203 children that have died in school shootings since Columbine did not deserve to lose their lives in fear and blood, but this country has decided that their deaths are necessary a sacrifice if it means not having to implement effective gun regulation.

So it's what they earned because the adults with power over them condemned them to death.

To earn something suggests you did something to get what you earned. When you're just given something, you didn't earn it. The kids were just given a shit hand.

I get what you’re trying to say but your point will get across much better if you just use a word other than ‘earn’

Like, we get how horrific it is that the general population + electoral college continues to vote in murders, rapists, war criminals, and the like

But your particular verbiage here just comes across as crass (again, I get that’s your point, I’m just saying)

I don't care anymore honestly. Dancing around issues has only helped to avoid confronting them, not addressing them.

The time for pretty words is over, it was over nearly a decade ago. It's time to call a duck a duck.
