"I am very much enjoying the self-inflected suffering"
This seems like something that would be very bad if applied to everyone. Perhaps I'd get hate for saying this in 2021, but I'd prefer a society where no one enjoys anyone else's suffering, no matter how much they dislike that person or feel that they 'deserved' it. I want a world with less suffering for everyone, not more.
- selectodude 6y agoTed Cruz voted against aid for the NE after Hurricane Sandy and was pretty quick to ask for FEMA assistance after both Hurricane Harvey and this self-inflicted catastrophe. Some people deserve it. He's one of them.
- kaibee 6y agoThe fact of the matter is that those in charge, who made the decisions that led to this, are at best, "suffering" political consequences. They aren't suffering the same way that the people of Texas are suffering.
- XorNot 6y agoPoliticians who let their constituents freeze to death deserve no sympathy. This isn't "just" a blackout people have already died from it.
- intendo 6y agoTheir "suffering" is being embarrassed and looking like idiots. It's not like they're being tortured.
- fredophile 6y agoI'd say the suffering they meant was political and not referring to environmental conditions. The governor's residence almost certainly has its own source of back up power. Ted Cruz is on vacation in Mexico. I doubt most of the higher up politicians have been suffering too much from lack of heat or power.
- kstrauser 6y agoYou're correct. They're facing political fallout over their public statements and I'm enjoying that. I 100% would not find it amusing if their kids had to eat cold beans because their power was out.
- xsmasher 6y agoIf they suffer the consequences of their own actions / inaction, they have a chance to learn and improve.
