Apologies to myself; that was uncalled-for.

@cascheranno I definitely have a chip on my shoulder in no small part because I'm on the same rung of the ladder I was compelled to start climbing 27 years ago.

@cascheranno my grandfather and his brother owned a company in the 80s and 90s. I think they both made quite comfortable sums doing this, and while I don't know for certain, I'm pretty willing to bet that, intent notwithstanding, they had folks on the payroll that probably weren't making a […]

@NationMeta you're a smart boy and you can probably look up what "caping" means. Probably would have taken less time than trying to police a stranger's language, making yourself look like a weird lazy asshole.

WE are the philanthropists. We're donating all our labor and extra wealth to the fucking owner class.

@volts.wtf never sold out and definitely didn't get rich as part of an exploitative organization that drained the life out of lower workers to create all the profit and wealth he gave away instead of giving to the people that created it for him to dispense literally anywhere else.

What a pure […]

I'm so sorry, that wasn't fair or accurate:

I'm still living in a nation run by slavery-profiteering gambling-addicted pedophiles.

"If the killing won't stop,

Seems like a clear and simple message we could send.
