covid, bojo, karma, unkind thoughts
I ain't gonna pretend I'm not rooting for this SOB Boris Johson to get ridden out of existence on a cosmic rail as soon as feasible.
I don't typically root for people to die... unless their life is rooted in the large-scale perpetuation of human suffering. I wouldn't have shed a tear for any of history's other villains, so I'm not gonna pretend this one's worth preserving, either.
It's like Popper's Paradox of Tolerance. Life is sacred. That's WHY people like BoJo should be required to give up theirs.
He famously stated in an Economist interview (2-22-2020) that his favorite movie was The Godfather for "the multiple retribution killings in the end." Well, maybe his dream's about to come true: Nature will come and show him what those are like first-hand.

@hystericempress You're absolutely right, sis! How terrible! *hastily sits on her collection of Sopranos "whacking" supercuts and blushes for no apparent reason*
( ;) -- you're absolutely right)
re: covid, bojo, karma, unkind thoughts
@zebratron2084 earnest answer: I don't think there is, anything, whatsoever, inherently wrong about fantasizing or even admiring violence. But it's almost always clear from context -why- someone is invested in it, and whether or not their desire to -enact it without consequences- is influencing their choices.
I'm pretty Boris Johnson jacks off while thinking about strangling poor people. I do not get that vibe from you.
re: covid, bojo, karma, unkind thoughts
@hystericempress Yeah, I wasn't kidding about the whacking vids but it's mostly because I really like watching abusive, swaggering macho guys get theirs. And because they don't have any videos of Mafiosi dying of distemper. (^)____(^);

@zebratron2084 I mean, you're talking to someone who has actually competed in a bloodsport before, sis, you ain't gotta explain shit.
re: covid, bojo, karma, unkind thoughts
@hystericempress Which reminds me, I was listening to the How Did This Get Made episode about the actual film Bloodsport and the sheer amount of martial arts BULLSHIT in it reminded me of you, a force of martial arts anti-bullshit. <3
re: covid, bojo, karma, unkind thoughts
@zebratron2084 Oh, you want some serious bullshido fodder? Look up a fella named Count Dante...

On the other hand, if the unfettered and unrestricted care he's receiving right now is insufficient to survive. . .
Well, let's just say if that's the case, a lot of us are going to have a slow, miserable death at home to look forward to.

@Phorm There are so many factors, though. Like in order to evade cardiac damage, one must have a heart to begin with...

@zebratron2084 aside: imagine thinking the best part of The Godfather, one of the most scathingly critical movies ever made about toxic masculine authority and unfair power relationships, is the bit where a bunch of dudes get shot
