Ah, the outrage. The collective pearl-clutching of politicians and CEOs over a single act of violence, as if the entire system they’ve built isn’t a slow-motion massacre in itself. Let’s not waste time pretending that those running the show—the boardroom barons and their political puppets—are innocent in all this. They’ve gamed the system to perfection, squeezing the people dry while wagging their fingers at those who finally snap under the pressure.
These titans of industry and governance kill every day—just not with their own hands. Denying healthcare claims to boost profits? That’s a slow, bureaucratic execution. Hiking up drug prices to levels unaffordable for the average American? That’s financial asphyxiation. Offshoring jobs and dodging taxes while preaching "economic recovery"? That’s a calculated betrayal. And when it all comes crashing down, who pays the price? The working-class Americans who were already hanging on by a thread.
Let’s not forget how they rigged the game from the start. Western consumerism feeds off the backs of exploited workers in the Global South, extracting raw materials drenched in blood—lithium, copper, oil—while propping up the Military-Industrial Complex. Wars are waged under the guise of democracy, but the real purpose is to keep the war machine profitable. At home, these same corporations poison their own people with carcinogenic goods, addictive pharmaceuticals, and a healthcare system designed to bankrupt, not heal. The cherry on top? A political class too cowardly or corrupt to fix it.
And now they have the audacity to act shocked when the pressure cooker explodes? Spare us the crocodile tears. This isn’t heroism, but it’s also not insanity—it’s desperation, rage, and sorrow converging into the inevitable. When people are backed into a corner, stripped of hope, and denied justice at every turn, they do what they’ve been conditioned to do in this system: fight for survival by any means necessary.
The real crime isn’t the explosion; it’s the endless policies, profiteering, and exploitation that lit the fire under the pressure cooker. These CEOs and politicians act like the murder of one of their own is an affront to civilization, but let’s be clear: the outrage is not about morality. It’s about fear. Fear that the system they built on greed and lies is beginning to crack. And maybe, just maybe, they’re realizing they’re not untouchable after all.
