musing

I have a three day weekend coming up, I am pretty excited, gonna get my shopping done and then go play some Magic. I have more thoughts about the recent election, specifically I need to talk more about how the black voting bloc appears to be the only one with even a little bit of sanity in this country, but right now I am pretty pooped and can't think too clearly on it,

It's sad that all that will happen to Moore is he doesn't get to move in the highest circles of power in the country anymore, hell odds are he'll end up a judge again or some shit, he will die thinking everything he did was right and proper and Christian. What a shithead.

In general that is a problem I have with all this, even if the president ends up getting impeached or resigning or both, he's still gonna be richer than 99% of this country will ever be, he will never be subject to any risk or problem that he doesn't choose to happen, that isn't justice.

We look at the rash of politicians and media figures resigning over harassment and sexual assault accusations and we think of that as a victory, it is I guess but still, these people won't go to jail, they won't be stripped of the ability to use their power over women in the future, odds are in a few years they will be quietly rehabilitated and back in positions of power and influence anyway. They will still get to live lives of unimaginable luxury and freedom. How is that fair?

I want to be a billionaire, yeah I want that same luxury and freedom, but I also want to be able to us the wealth and the power that comes with it to destroy these people, not by killing them, that would be illegal and also not actually punishment, but by stripping them of the protections their wealth gives, buying their companies and firing them, paying for lawyers to represent their accusers, buying their law firms and firing them as clients, funding documentaries about their exploits, blacklisting them from their chosen professions. I want to be the vigilante Bruce Wayne maybe should have been rather than punching poor people in the head.

It won't happen I know, I console myself with the thought that for most of these people there will be a time, maybe even a few times, when they have a moment of clarity and really, truly, understand what they have done to their victims, whoever those are, and know, even for a moment, that they are truly monsters as bad as any alive today.

It's small comfort, but we don't get big ones, we aren't rich enough.
