I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers (www.theguardian.com)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say knowingly burning down the world's future so you get to party now was and always has been the position of someone who is a fucking loser. This goes as much for current tech barons as it did for Exxon when they discovered climate change was real and covered it up because their profits mattered more than, you know, not burning the planet to a fucking cinder.

So, in other words, no you shouldn't be shocked they're such fucking losers because if they weren't, they wouldn't be angling to burn the world down so they can party. Only a true fucking loser could and would pursue that to begin with.

It's like when former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was caught paying boatloads of prostitutes to fuck him in an orgy, and his defense was "I was just sure all these beautiful young women wanted to have an orgy with me because I'm just so amazing and beautiful, and it never had anything to do with the vastness of my wealth and the fact that they were being highly paid to even look at my filthy ugly old body."

You've gotta be some kind of fucking loser to think anyone would believe that when you're a fucking Methuselah-lookin-ass ugly goblin like Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

They were, and always have been, losers.
