    It’s hard for me to understand how someone can be such a piece of shit. Like yeah, let’s let children starve for no reason at all.

      Literally how he gets paid. He’s a man-child whose every act of petulance and grotesqueness fattens his wallet and raises his social media profile. The only reason he’s not filling the hole left by Charlie Kirk’s neck is because Nick Fuentes, Ben Shapiro, and JD Vance all scrambled in first.

      No reason at all?! Are you kidding? They’re doing it for profit. It’s all for the bottom line! If a few kids starve, who cares? Most of them are brown anyway.

        I think it’s more than that, they are heavily invested in a rather nasty version of the “just world hypothesis”: if bad stuff happens to these people, like being poor and hungry, it’s because they are bad and deserve it.

        It’s the same logic at play for blaming victims or rape and sexual violence.

        Because the alternative, that the world isn’t fair and horrible stuff happens to good people and good things also happen to horrible people, is too unpleasant and exhausting to contemplate and requires complex thought.

        I think they also genuinely enjoy it and believe somewhere in the future whoever is left will thank them for it
