Funny events in anti-woke world

Thanks but I want to hear it from Tstorm

Not particularly clear given it's 80% statement, 20% question.

Can you tell me this:

Why is Trump special and gets treated so well so often?

Because America in the present is an amazing place where people get treated well in general, and anyone with the opportunity to take advantage of all of those treatments is blessed with privilege enough to be the envy of kings. The levers Trump pulls are not special treatment, they are the treatment everyone gets scaled proportionately to the magnitude of his wealth and fame. You would have to deliberately deprive him of the treatment any other person receives to not perceive him as "getting treated so well".

One does not need to design a system to entrench wealth or power, the rich getting richer is a law of nature. One would need to create a system to prevent that, but it is unclear if that goal is worth the cost even before every attempt in history to do so has resulted is mass killing. Trump is treated to well because to treat him poorly and also be fair, we'd have to treat most people poorly, we would bury the world in the pursuit of a jealous sort of justice.

The fact that this guy wasn't sentenced to life in a psychiatric facility with access to nothing deadlier than a pillow basically guaranteed this would eventually happen.

It does include the rebate pocketed by the PBM because the insurer paid that.

They literally didn't. The manufacturer did.

So, you are going to have to clarify:

This sounds EXACTLY like what Hades said. You just think it's a positive, and the poor should get back in their place instead of having thoughts

And just to be clear, I'm not jealous of Trump. I don't want his money or power. I want him to stop destroying people's lives. I generally like the Rule of Law and really dislike how often he shits on it

All you have done is pretend what my attitude towards Trump is. And you are fundamentally wrong. Why would anyone be jealous of Trump? (I know there are people who are jealous. It's best to ignore them.) It is insanely hard to have a conversation with a person who just pretends what I think. You aren't conversing with anyone on the Left. Your punching at ghosts

Don't know about the first half of that sentence but being banned from guys? Yes. If you want a gun, show that you can be responsible first

Square Enix has implemented a new policy to protect its employees from harassment.

Square Enix has announced a new "group customer harassment policy" aimed at protecting its employees and partners from harmful behavior and actions taken by its followers and fans.


"Square Enix believes that the feedback, comments and requests received from our customers are essential to the advancement of our group's products and services," the new policy states. "At the same time, there are instances where certain customers take actions directly or through our support centers, or towards our group executives, employees, [or] partners who are involved in the creation and distribution of our group products and services, that constitute 'customer harassment'.


"Such actions do not only prevent our employees and partners from engaging in their work with a sense of security but also causes disruptions to other customers. Square Enix will not tolerate harassment and will take action as necessary."


Those actions range from refusing support requests and implementing bans to, in cases "where such action is egregious or with malicious intent," legal action and possibly even criminal proceedings.

No points for guessing which side is against this.

No, there is no "the poor", nobody is defined that way, everyone should be thinking, and its not about it being positive, it just is, power is powerful, its a truism.

But people who don't happen to be poor, just like Trump, are not put in prison for mislabeling an expense. No poor person is subject to a defamation case by claiming they didn't rape someone. No poor people a treated as treasonous if they wanted a different election result. No president before him was raided over documents from their presidency. He's not getting away with murder in ways that other people wouldn't. Nobody goes to prison for these things. It is not an unfair advantage that he isn't either.

And just to be clear, I'm not jealous of Trump. I don't want his money or power. I want him to stop destroying people's lives. I generally like the Rule of Law and really dislike how often he shits on it

Jealousy and envy have evolved in meaning in modern times, but the concept of both began not with wanting what someone has ("covetous" is a purer word for that), but rather to describe the resentment and contempt one feels to another with perceived advantages. Jealousy is resenting someone you think is undeserving of what they have or suspicious that they are going to steal the things that you have and feel you do deserve. There is not a political persuasion immune to sin, it's very obvious those on the right express their own version of this resentment, but sin makes for warped perspectives and really awful policy.

And whose lives is he destroying?
