This is the only way I can envision Rubecube in my head now.

Sheesh. The saying “May you live in interesting times” has never been more relevant. What a complete #### show the world has become.

Whether one is going to hate the player or hate the game, the murder victim undoubtedly profited from other people's suffering. And he's not some frontline worker doing what he has to to survive. He was the commander in chief of an organization that improves its bottom line by denying its clients healthcare that they paid for.

On another topic, I would really like the tariff-induced inflation to be known as Trumpflation. It would annoy him so much.

Does the wise man weep when swatting a mosquito? He may feel pity at it's brief and fruitless existence, but sheds no tears in its absence.

Pharmaceuticals (and really most of the private healthcare sector), fossil fuels, banking and finance, and all those #####ers from all the leech-like "rent-seekers" like Uber, Airbnb etc. Management consulting (McKinsey et al.) although you don't really need to limit your hate to the upper executives there.

Scum of the earth.

Oh, almost forgot: social media companies. The more you learn about them, the more you realize those companies and the people running them are almost cartoonishly evil. I'm I sure I forgot some, but there's a start.

I'm genuinely surprised there are not more rich powerful people murdered with how many regular people suffer because of the companies and organizations they run which cause untold harm to millions.

I just feel like worldwide society is reaching a let them eat cake moment where people will finally snap and go after the elite.

Inshallah that day is coming soon. Everyday people are getting ####ed in the ass, and if we don't rise up soon and let blood run in the streets, we're gonna live in a very ####ed up society where the rich have armies of AI robots enslaving the 98%.

Next economic collapse is gonna be interesting. World is very different from 2008 with AI and robotics, could see a plethora of the jobs lost in the next collapse simply disappear. And with people being even angrier and more desperate than 2008 maybe we will see more and more people fighting back instead of just taking it.

I guarantee you a guy like this has caused more deaths himself than any one single murderer. I would wager that anywhere from 10 to 15k deaths per year from just his company occurred every year for declined treatment so they could be rich. These people are not just worse than a killer, they're worse than serial killers.

Right? And people are all worried about 'Global Warming!'

Bah! Waste of time! We're gonna kill each other way before Mother Nature gets her shot.

Sorry ####faces, looks like you went too far this time. Humans can only suffer through so much before they stop giving a #### about consequences. If you are the cause of that suffering, maybe consider stopping that. Or not, your choice.


This is what happens when you turn over necessities of life to corporate greed. Will anyone learn the lesson? Haha, no of course not.

As far as murderers go, I think this one's my favourite. The trial might be amazing if he pleads necessity.

The irony is this is the literal purpose of the 2nd Amendment, in a world dominated by oligarchy you use your gun to overthrow the oligarchs, I have no doubt the NRA crowd won't see it this way though

They'll learn to shield themselves from the peasant attacks. Or you know, pay someone to do it for them.

Naw, they are gonna learn the lesson it's much easier to destroy than create. People can be creative when they have nothing left to lose.
