We are told we live in a world where everyone is equal, but when someone (or quite a lot of someones) suggest that the death of a rich white man might not be the tragedy we are told to think it is, suddenly all of the other rich white men are upset that that is the prevailing view, and they want to use their platforms to tell us that “yes it is and we should think it is”
If you ask most people they will tell you the lesson I learned a long time ago – a lesson most of us learn relatively young.
Not all deaths are worth mourning. You don’t have to celebrate them, but you don’t have to pretend that you are sad they are dead either.
Keep it in the news, Mainstream Media producers. Keep outing yourselves as sympathizers of the billionaire class. I think this is a prime example of the unequal treatment of lives between the rich and the poor. So, yes, “please proceed, Governor”.
The attempt to manufacture consent is particularly noticeable this time, maybe because, for a change, working class people of all political leanings agree on this one.
