“The rabbits got the gun now” coming from a lawyer for a crooked Governor going after a newspaper writer is such a telling comment about how much we’ve let powerful people cast themselves as victims and it goes from this to Elon to Trump and everywhere else
Also explains the growing cowardice of news outlets either cowed into submission or owned by the same billionaires they should be investigating. Who the hell would put up with all the shit you get trying to do your job well when it pays 35k a year?
As Umberto Eco saw years ago, the in-group must be simultaneously righteous & mighty AND constantly victimized; the enemy both all-powerful oppressors AND weak, degenerate sub-humans. It’s a rhetorical perpetual motion machine.
What a pathetic douchebag that governor is. “I had nothing to do with it” you’re the fucking governor, sack up and take responsibility you trump wannabe
you get numb to a certain level of outrage after a while but when the favre/reeves/welfare shit broke & some folks were like “well, mississippians, play shitty games, win shitty prizes” i became a single point of infinite density for a bit & bowed the walls of my apartment with rage.
