I'll Leave These Pages for the Trees

whenever people start saying 'darwin award' shit it fills me with such a deep melancholy, because fundamentally, there is an entire cultural sector built on reinforcing the idea of the idiotic commoner who brings death upon themselves throughout their belligerent and willing stupidity, and the reason this cultural sector exists is because we live in a society run by and for the exact same political-economic class that used to put lead in gasoline and borax in baby-formula. whenever there's an entirely preventable disaster that kills a worker or a random passerby, you can be assured that a good chunk of people, drunk off that sweet ideological wine, will reflexively blame the idiot for getting killed
