The Cruelty is the Point

Unfortunately, there are many people who have mistaken cruelty for strength and kindness for weakness.
You know the thing that gets me is that I know this and spent a considerable amount of time watching journalist try to explain why voters in west virginia in the poorest counties in the country would support trump and I came to the conclusion that part of it is because the Only job you can get without a college degree that pays a middle class wage is coal and yet I also realized trumps rabid fanbase was sadistic and I'm at a loss for why the Democrats aren't the same towards the trump voters?

DailyKOS got mad at me for essentially suggesting that by switching to Arcadia power we could cut these assholes off at the pass and choke off their source of livelihood and actually accelerate the forces that are devouring coal.

They're mad at me because "Those are just people too."

Yeah. People who get off on traumatizing us. Fuck em. If they starve it's more lebensraum for the rest of us. If they have to sell their homes and go live on the streets the price of housing will decline as there's more homes on the market so it's good news.
