Many of the victims are young Asian American figure skating prodigies for Team USA. They represent the diversity that *should* make this country great.
Politicizing their deaths to push harmful lies about "DEI" is disgusting, embarrassing, and deeply evil.

This was always the obvious endgame that anyone with half a brain saw coming when AI started being forced down our throats

The wealth class has accumulated historical wealth and has used that wealth to rig the economy, buy off politicians, and take control of all the major media platforms. Their worldview is explicitly antidemocratic and increasingly authoritarian.
That’s it. That’s the situation.
