It’s crazy to me to see just how many people are supporting Luigi, the famous CEO killer, and asking for him to be freed. If you know me, you know I’ve always been a huge critic of the world we live in, and of the way society is set up by the rich and powerful in order to exploit people at every opportunity. I totally agree with everyone who’s saying that the health care industry preys on people when they are at their lowest. Capitalism itself makes this type of thing possible because everyone values money over literally anything else. Whether we like to admit it or not, we are all part of the problem simply by participating in this society. When we go to work and waste our lives away doing shit we have no interest in, rather than spending time with our family and friends and making sure to be there for each other, we are participating in a corrupt system that wants to rob us of our time. We are all afraid of the future, so we save money in the bank, knowing there are people in the world who will literally die of starvation this same day because they can’t afford food or shelter. I’m not blaming you, because I am also a participant. I’m not trying to be a hypocrite, but we are all responsible for the problems that plague our planet. This whole Luigi situation has really reminded me that most people are so caught up in their emotions that they cannot see the bigger picture at all. Whether the CEO who died was as evil as we all want to believe he was, is completely beside the point. The fact is that, quite simply, none of us have the right to take away anyone else’s life. Life is something sacred, and we don’t know why we even have it. I’m sure we all disagree with a lot of people over a lot of topics, but if we feel that there are problems in our world, and that there are things that need to change, we can only play a real role in changing them if we are willing to set an example, and to fearlessly speak our minds in order to inspire others to stand up and make a change with us. Change doesn’t come by killing a person. The moment we start thinking it’s acceptable to kill someone else because we think they are worse than us, that’s the moment that true change becomes harder and harder to achieve. I don’t know if I’m expressing all my thoughts on the matter in the correct way, and I’m not trying to defend predatory companies and industries in any way, but I have to speak my mind, and I’m sure that people who have not let themselves become corrupted by anger and hate, will understand what I’m trying to say, and that my message will resonate with them. I hope to live in a world where I don’t run the risk of being murdered simply because I’m seen as evil in someone else’s eyes, even if it’s in a lot of people’s eyes. Again, I don’t know enough about Brian Thompson as a person, to be able to say with certainty whether he was evil or not, but that’s not the point here. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that he is, in fact, evil, and that he has a personal hand in denying people the healthcare they need. Again, at this point I expect the worst from this society and from any institution, including any government. As people though, as human beings, we have to be better. It’s like John Lennon said, once they have you riled up and violent, that’s when they truly have you in their hands, something along those lines. I realize this is an unpopular opinion, but I am just so surprised to see so many people’s reactions to this whole thing. I hope we can all be more rational about these things in the future, but again, it’s been quite a while since I actually felt like there was any hope for this world. I wish it wasn’t the case, but that’s really why I’ve isolated myself from pretty much anyone for the last couple of years. I know it isn’t healthy, but it’s the truth. If you are someone who sympathizes with Luigi, believe me, I understand why you do. Years ago, I would do nothing but watch videos online of police officers beating people up, abusing their rights as authority figures in order to abuse the weakest of people. For years I let all that hate consume me, and I don’t have to mention everything I’ve been through to convince you that hate and anger don’t lead anyone down a good path. You can believe me if you want, or you can carry on in your hatred. These days I’m simply happy I could meet a girl that I love, and who I was lucky to marry, and I’m quite satisfied getting stoned and making music, even though I know my music production gear is also part of the problem that is materialism, and capitalism in general. People have become too crazy and complicated to deal with at this point, so I try to keep to myself because I know that the biggest battles are within myself, and I am trying to be there for myself so I can heal from years of hatred and resentment towards the world. I am at peace knowing that I wouldn’t wish pain or death on anyone, because I know that life is somehow balanced, and that we all pay for our actions in one way or another. It’s not up to me to punish you for your crimes, even if I think your crimes are worse than mine. It’s not my place to hurt you because or kill you, because your life is your own. It’s basic human decency and respect, although the fact that a lot of people don’t see it that way probably shouldn’t surprise me too much, since become completely detached from the idea of anything being sacred anymore, even life itself.
I appreciate you reading.
