      Did you even read the article? Do you think the ruling class had the same drop as everyone else? The people you are wishing short, horrible lives on were among oppressed classes and the people you are wishing pain upon have little control of outcomes in their lives much less the actions of their government. Either you are hoping for more disparity between classes in the US at the expense of those who already oppressed, or you should be ashamed of your comment.

          Sub-text: Unless those people are the victims of colonization or slave trade, then root for their premature deaths.

          Careful, you might accidentally be what you think you hate.

                Revolutions happen when people run out of other options. By definition the conditions are such that many people are already being sacrificed. So the question for you is how many people are you willing to sacrifice to maintain the status quo?

                  I was saying not to root for the death of the oppressed. I was suggesting that treating them as a good thing was gross. I never said I support any kind of status quo.

                    I don’t see anybody rooting for the death of the oppressed here. What’s being said is that the current system is responsible for often horrific and continuously deteriorating conditions for the majority. The cost of changing this system has to be weighed against the cost of allowing it to continue to operate.

                  Out of luck on your little comment here then. It was Native Americans that took the big hit from what you are praising. So close. Maybe next time it will be the right race and you can feel justified.
