Good for you, but I’d rather my money not be wasted on petty spite and draconian bullshit. I’d rather it actually go towards something useful, like rehabilitating people so they can be better and contribute to society.
He stole 8 billion dollars from ordinary people. Maybe when he's rehabilitated you can let him manage your money.
You realize what rehabilitation means, right?
No one is obligated to or wants to rehabilitate him or people like him. We respect their agency to make their own choices, and in return they accept the deleterious consequences if they choose to do horrific shit. Like this fuck you're using to push your agenda.
Lmao who are you speaking for? No one wants to rehabilitate people because you say so? Who is this “we”?
And christ, man, accusing me of pushing an agenda? How cliche can you get? This is literally just my opinion - me voicing it isn’t “pushing my agenda”.
My guy, we need only read the thread to see that all of you brigading and concern trolling are in the minority. It's a fact. Specifically in this case because Sam Bankman-Fried is the perfect example of the two-tiered legal system we have in the U.S., a different set of rules and consequences based on wealth. The only reason he's even in jail suffering the way he should be is because he started stealing from other rich people.
Oh, excuse you?
You literally are out here parroting one-liners you memorized from shitty revenge movies and you're going to accuse me of pandering to cliches? Get the fuck out of here.
You're in here pushing evil, anti-justice apologetics to once again deny the American people the justice they deserve after so long and it's obvious. You don't care about what's right or what's good for Americans or what's good for morality or the world, you only care about what makes you personally feel better. And I won't fucking let you get what you want.
One might consider the fact that until this very moment, my comments were consistently the most upvoted of the two of us. And that somehow on a two day old post all of your comments got upvoted three times, while mine were all downvoted three times. But hey, I'll just assume that that's a coincidence.
Either way, what matters is that most of the top comments are advocating for getting this guy a proper vegan selection. So clearly it's not so simply "a fact".
Also, did you seriously pull a comment from a discussion I was having with an entirely different person? Did you stalk my account for that? That's bizarre, but what's even more bizarre is that you think the quote "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" comes from a revenge movie lmao.
It's literally just empathy - calling it "evil" sounds like projection to me. Especially when you're the one advocating for further harm, and trying to justify it with mob mentality.
Again, just projection. The only reason to punish people further is to make the rest of us feel better. Someone "getting what they deserve" is cathartic for the masses, and for no other reason than pure spite. It accomplishes nothing. What I believe doesn't make me feel better - how would it? It's far harder to be empathetic towards bad people than it is to simply view them as less than human and move on.
Imagine calling apologizing for, defending and using as a political tool to demand no one be punished for anything, denying humanity justice, empathy.
You absolutely are disgusting and vile. Get away from me.
Are you 12?
