Memo to Moral Scolds: SHUT UP AND LET ME HAVE MY NUANCED FUN.
It didn’t take long. Hours after it was reported that Derek Chauvin was seriously injured in an inmate-involved stabbing, I was being informed on social media that, well, actually, prison violence is bad and prison conditions are awful and we shouldn’t be celebrating it.
When you see a post about Joe Manchin not running for re-election, remember ths.
Joe Manchin’s entire career was built around either being the reason for, or the excuse for, Democrats HAVING power without ever USING that power.
So when you see a post that is, essentially, “good fucking riddance, asshole”, that person values the second thing more than the first thing. Posts about “but.. but.. but… HIS SEAT!” are from people who value the first more than the second.
Good fucking riddance, asshole.
Been seeing a lot of this this week, and I wonder if all the people on social media insisting “there must have been a tunnel under it” even realize they’re giving off big “I’m sure the officer feared for his life” energy.
