      This is the kind of disgusting behavior that perpetuates people treating each other so horribly.

        rich greedy people are going to treat you the same regardless

        you are simping for a man that wouldn’t pee on you to put you out if you were on fire

        how naive must you to be to think bring nice to them will change their behavior

          I am fully aware that trying to be a good human results in bad humans taking advantage of me often. I am not blind to it. But being a good human means that is going to happen for as long as bad humans keep being bad humans.

          I will not stoop to being a bad human just because bad humans treat me badly. I want to be a good human, and that means being a good human even to the bad humans. I don’t agree with what they do or think or believe, nor do I think that me being a good human will force anyone to change. Though some bad humans might change and become good humans, I don’t have to become a bad human just because you don’t see things the same way I do. You can live as you want and I will live as I want. And I want to be a good human, so I will try to live that way as best as I can.

          As a side note, I am appreciative that hopefully nobody will piss on me, regardless of if I am on fire or not. I would much rather put the fire out myself jumping into nearby water, rolling on the floor, removing burning garments, etc. I really would like to avoid being pissed on, thank you. You may be into that, but I am not.

            being happy that legitimately bad people are dead by their own actions doesn’t make one bad themselves

            claiming some supposed moral high ground by continuously turning the other cheek is a mood for sure

            you want to be taken advantage of fine, you do you but i’m annoyed i have to deal with the consequences of people like you burying your head in the ground, because our society is surely crumbling while people like that rich fuck take advantage of us all and people like you do less than nothing

            i’m just going to ignore the nonsense in the last paragraph because i can’t tell if this is genuine autism or not

          Or you can just accept it as a net gain for humanity and move on.

          No need to be either happy or sad.

          Let’s keep our dignity and behave nice, but also let’s not pretend this is a tragedy, because it isn’t.

            Taking a steaming dump on their graves is keeping our dignity.

            This man didn’t give a tin shit about me, you, or anyone else while he lived. Why do we owe him decorum and consideration just because he got himself killed?

          Awful as in he was responsible for day one DLC and microtransactions or awful as in he raped and murdered children?

          There’s a spectrum and I’m not sure which end of it he’s on based on your comments.

              Actually yeah, and aside from being co-founder of Ubisoft with his brothers I couldn’t find much. He ran some other audio company. Literally nothing that justifies people talking about shitting on his grave.

            I don’t play Ubisoft games. I don’t have a horse in that race.

            He’s awful because he was one of the money-addicted ownership class that collectively are ruining our world to fuel their addictions. Everyone in that class is a piece of shit and I don’t find much value in trying to determine the particular vintage of shit we’re dealing with. There are no “good guys” here.

            I won’t wish death or harm on any of them, but I’ll certainly not shed a tear if karma gets them.

              You need therapy.

              I think you and I would agree that billionaires aren’t people, and I long for the day in which we dismember them and feed them to the pigs, but this guy wasn’t a billionaire. He was a successful video game developer who co-founded an awful company.

              I’m not saying he was a saint, I don’t mourn his passing, but I’m also not celebrating his death as his crimes pale in comparison to the ruling class.

                He was a member of the ruling class. What the hell are you talking about? He was a board member and co-founder of a corporation with a valuation in the billions of dollars. Yeah, sure, he wasn’t a billionaire but they aren’t the only problem. He certainly had a lot less in common with poors like you and me, especially since the corporation he was part of wasn’t exactly championing labor rights.

                And yeah I’m sure I do need therapy. But guess what’s one of many things I can’t afford thanks to rich assholes like this guy?

                    A video game company with a valuation in the billions of dollars, yes. Of which this guy was a co-founder and board member, meaning he was doing quite well for himself.

                    Does it not count because “it’s just video games lmao”? Would it be better if it was a music label or film studio?

                    Maybe instead of touching grass, you should pay more attention to the class war his type are waging against ours.

                It’s a matter of scale, and what they do with the money. Wealth hoarding has reached the point where it’s a cause of inflation. The top 1% (and even moreso, the 1% of that 1%) have hoarded ao much wealth, and do nothing but essentially sit on that wealth, that it makes life more expensive for all of us in the working class.

                Strictly speaking, yes they absolutely are hurting someone. Wage theft is a significant issue we face today.

          And probably a legal liability.

          And that’s a giant steaming lie.

          There is no legal liability to saying “good riddance” to a billionaire’s death
