So this video popped up on my YouTube feed. WARNING: copoganda, murder, discussion of domestic violence. The tldr is that the woman accidentally killed her boyfriend, the boyfriend got arrested for a few domestic violence calls so 🤷, but then the woman goes completely white lady on the situation and denies any responsibility and argues every point like a 5 year old. Her lawyers all quit because they can't stand her, and people are chiming in the comments that they knew her IRL and that she was a massive a-hole in her town. One lawyer quit over professional differences, and other lawyers quit for different reasons.

I sorta think that maybe this woman sucks, but locking her in a box for 40 years isn't gong to help anything.

I will mention that I've been burnt hard by narcissists in the past. But once I've learned to spot them, they're just often sad. There's a few in my various communities, and we all just sorta manage and ignore them. Oh, maybe I'm wrong, but they often seem more rich than the general population.

    So at first it was because

    • This is where the truth lies. Even a kid I saw through the imperialistic xenophobic propaganda against Russia, China, and even DPRK though I never understood it to a deep level. It feeds my ego so hard that I'm correct. And I'm the type that's obsessed with finding out the truth behind everything. I'm naturally extremely curious

    • Personal spite. Was one point about to get retirement money. Not powerful or influential money but just retire for life very comfortably money. Then I got completely devoured by powerful and influential money because that's how capitalism works

    • My home life and father also went down a bad mental trajectory after 2008

    • I have a victim complex. Feels good to be able to blame capitalism lmao

    • Am a minority

    • Antisocial symptoms in the imperial core means that I'm automatically antisocial against a liberal capitalistic society

    • Grew up with an average family income in a wealthy suburb neighborhood

    • Feeling of extreme moral superiority

    I will say that over time, as I've learned more about history, geopolitics, and economic exploitation, that I have genuinely learned conditional empathy for the exploited. My heart genuinely hurts for those in the global south and all the victims of economic inequality that I see in my day to day life. The ones working shitty minimum wage jobs, the homeless, etc. My automatic response to panhandling used to be ignore and not treat them as humans and now it's to enjoy a chat with them and help them out in whatever way I can

    I've also developed a pretty strong moral compass

      Cool. When the world around us improves, our own lives improve- I can see the value of that.
