Jesus fucking christ. The comments on that earthquake story are fucking NUTS. These fascist Reich-wingers are literal sociopaths. They're talking about WANTING the "big one" to kill lots of "dems". They want a giant quake to happen during the DNC to kill their fellow citizens. Holy fucking shit.
How do we stop this deadly cult? They think democrats are the problem, but they literally worship billionaires who don't give two shits about them, and they want people who think differently from them to be killed. How is this allowed to be discussed? The forum on that fox news site says it's "moderated" but they're allowing domestic terrorists to freely talk about insane shit.
We are fucking doomed as a species.
What's wrong with wishing people you hate were dead? We're all someone's asshole and we all deserve to die for myriad reasons. The world - and all life on it - would be far better off with most of humanity off of it. They had an article on the NYT yesterday about this tech bro billionaire asshole right-wing extremist POS yesterday who's patented a new way to strip mine trees. And he's managed to fleece the taxpaying morons of Utah for 5 million bucks to do it. All so he could set up a hunting lodge and kill animals with abandon. I fervently hope assholes like that die in a fire. And if you think that makes me a bad person I'd say you're the one with fucked up values. There was no shortage of people wishing Hitler and the Nazis were dead during WWII, were they bad people for that?
