  • Exactly. Let’s be honest, if wishes alone could kill, there wouldn’t be a single US health insurance executive alive within 24 hours. The only reason we all don’t become a Luigi is we’re not prepared to throw our lives away for it. Fear of the law is the only thing keeping those bastards above dirt.













  • Remember. When Brian Robert Thompson hit the pavement, he did not stop falling. He fell, and fell, and fell. Right into the open maw of the Pit of Hell itself.

    He died on his way to a conference where he was going to openly celebrate the record profits he made killing thousands of people. If that doesn’t Damn your soul for all eternity, I don’t know what does.



  • Wait til you learn that the reason you hate immigrants and immigration is that the wealthy conditioned you to hate them. Notice how capital can cross borders, but people can’t? This allows the wealthy to profit off of international arbitrage, while regular citizens can’t. A CEO can move a factory to a low cost country to save on labor, but you in a wealthy country can’t move there to save on cost of living. And the citizens in a poor country can’t move to a wealthy country to earn better wages. The corporations get to take advantage of international arbitrage, but you don’t.


  • I mean, yeah, but it just doesn’t have the same vibe to it. You can’t make a grandiose speech about “condemning them to the depths.” Plus it’s just much more terrifying, watching the surface of the water rise above you, as you’re pulled inexhorably down into the abyss…

    Also, the water muffles the screaming!
