Comment on No I'm really not sorry. George Floyd was a father too, and before old Charlie had his personal turning point he called him a scumbag.

The “he’s a father” line has got to be the most slave-morality, don’t-ask-questions, get back to work and serve the Economy, don’t make trouble for the system, obvious bullshit I’ve ever heard.

One can make plenty of better arguments for why not to make fun of him posthumously, so why pick such a bad one? Oh right, because the vast majority of our society has never been educated to care about the logical validity of an argument, but only its emotional gut-feeling truthiness.

Inability to use a condom doesn’t make anyone entitled to my sympathy.

  Not good, but better than that. Things like 'it still had time to stop being a piece of shit and return to his humanity"
  
  There are still much better ones for not, of course.

He was a father, which means now his kids have a slightly better chance of not growing up to be complete pieces of shit.

Yeah it’s a big tell to not take someone seriously in the future.
