It is tragic that this person was put in a position where she lost her life for no reason other than to serve the vanity of a man determined to establish dominance over a city that hates him

This is similar to the logic that the Nazis used to justify mass deportation and murder of Jews, Romani, and other people.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

President Trump has called for Democrats to be executed for sedition. The voters expect Democrats to come to the table with a real counter-proposal and negotiate a mutually acceptable compromise. That’s doing politics the right way.

Even beyond the blindness of using Spacey as a positive example, did this guy even watch the film? Nowhere in it is there any impression that Lester thinks that his attraction to a teenager is a good idea. This is just another dudebro attempting to normalize.

I have one word for you, Martha: Nuremberg.
Fox News's Martha MacCallum makes a case for following illegal orders: "If you are in the US military, you sign up, you carry out the mission that is assigned to you. The other option is to not join the military or to leave if you feel you can't carry out an order. But the command is integral."
