A damning statement on the level of discourse that is allowed on forum/discussion websites and are seen as the mainstream. The expectation from the powers that be that we can never be uncivil to those in those positions of power. Like how senators constantly demand they are called the right honourable, despite the position never holding any honour at all.

So you see the average person who sees our family and friends casually thrown into pits without any civility or honour and then when some obvious asshole finally gets got, they refuse to let us revel in it. They block the posts, they broadcast across the mainstream media and independent media how we have to show respect because actually these ghouls who have caused untold misery on a scale that an average person can barely fathom are actually just like us. Well if their just like us then we should get to piss on their fucking grace in a public forum.

And that why when they die you get ding dong the witch is dead hitting the number 1 spot on the BBC radio most requested song after Thatcher croaked. And likewise we have music subreddits being the only Avenue of protest against the prohibition against incivility. The average person who has been hurt by these public figures wants to dance on their grave. Just fucking let us.

Anyways fuck Kirk, may he rot in piss.
