Seems how? They didn't say anything like that. You think the issue with this guy is because he's rich and nothing else?
The funny thing is I've seen people saying the exact same thing you are to people laughing at Charlie Kirk getting killed, while doing their best to ignore all the things he stood for, said, and did. Right down to immediately accusing the person of adopting (an incorrect idea of) Nazism by not valuing all lives as precious. Just think about the brainpower behind people who think those laughing at Charlie Kirk are like the Nazis but not Charlie "Civil Rights was a mistake" Kirk.
There's gotta be a term for people who get all righteous about treating all lives as precious while they ignore that the person in question actively makes the world worse.
Their response was in direct to my reply that someone shouldn’t be killed just for being an asshole, and they said “unless it’s a CEO”. I don’t know how you don’t comprehend that.
Note the absence of any sentiment like "because he has more money than me".
Precisely. Dingus here cant make the inference that CEOs, assholes or not, are morally bankrupt parasites that cause more death and destruction via email than a man with a gun.
