Matt Mullenwag is a piece of shit extortionist that I hope dies in a comedic way.

Wishing death on someone just because they’re a flagrant asshole is pretty extreme, no? That’s fucking wild if you’re serious.

Not if they are CEOs

The Nazis would have loved your level of inhumanity with the Jews back in the 1940s

Nobody is born a CEO. Hating people for their ethnicity, sexuality or disability is inhumane, but that’s not who we’re talking about here. This is about someone that chooses to be a vile, parasitic extortionist.

You can’t just stop being a Jew, but it’s very easy to stop being a CEO.

Edit: It occurs to me that this might read like jewish, gay or disabled people cause damage, so I should clarify: Being jewish, gay or disabled isn’t harmful. There is nothing in common betweem the people the Nazis persecuted and the CEOs we’re talking about here.

Still missing the point. Completely. Matt is an asshat. No disagreement there. But that’s not something that warrants him being killed.
