   There's this thing happening on Tiktok where people, almost exclusively white because, of course, are saying how the lack of sympathy for a wealthy white dude is an indicator of how 'uncivilized' the US has become.
   
   Not homelessness. Not removing the bodily autonomy of half of the population. Not out of control police. Not rampant hate crime and violence. Not wage theft. Not unaffordable healthcare. No book banning. Not targeted discrimination of the trans community. Not the utter disregard the country showed for people during Covid.
   
   Nope. None of that.
   
   What shows we are a BAD SOCIETY is not showing empathy for a rich dude who suffered the consequences of his actions and took people down with him.
   
   I just... it's not funny, but I can't stop laughing. It's yet another example of how white folks, even ones that consider themselves 'liberal,' will just turn on people the moment a random sensibility is offended.

     @Are0h "Civilized" has meant "upholds the comfort of white men" for hundreds of years, and deep down, we all know it.
