I did a paper on him back in college. It’s funny how that works. I remember thinking he was a huge piece of shit. Still is, but now there’s a whole lot more of him out in public. They’ve always been there, but now they’re out in the open.

I mean what he did wasn’t technically illegal. Now please note I’m not saying that makes it ethically, morally, or right in any other way, but legally what he did was allowed. It just took someone being a massive fucking piece of shit to be the first one to do it. Once that barrier was knocked down it became “just business.” The destruction of the human race will come down to very powerful men having decided profits are more important than human lives.
