"BUT HE WON THO! HE LIVED TO BE ELEVENTY BILLION YEARS OLD AND NEVER GOT PUNISHED FOR WHAT HE DID!!!"

Yeah dude, we know.

It basically goes without saying that the rich/powerful will likely never face even a fraction of what they deserve no matter how horrific their atrocities. That's just how things work under capitalism/neoliberalism.

You're not exactly blowing anyone's minds Mr. Edgy Doomer (And if I'm calling you a Doomer, that's saying something).

Let's celebrate that they're unable to directly hurt anyone else anymore and try to make a world where they don't get away with it.

    Yeah idk, I usually stay silent on this shit because as time has gone on, the death of ghouls has given me less gratification - seems like it's a bit of a hollow victory in a world where the fundamental structures and incentives that make people like this aren't changing. But I def don't want to bring down people who feel like crab emojiing about it, because lol fuck Donald Rumsfeld and his cohort.

    Also some folks make a good point that there's a mild tactical value in gloating about these scumbags croaking since it undercuts the civility status quo around them. Especially felt that when McCain got his since no one was more lionized than that shitstain.
