    He probably still believed that the lady who sued McDonald’s over getting burned by hot coffee was just shaking down McDonald’s for easy money.

      Everyone who makes fun of her should have to review the pictures and reassess.

        I’d would have said should try pouring boiling hot coffee in their crotch but reviewing the pictures might work as well.

      Every time that story comes up now the top comment in reply is someone correcting them that the story is BS. I’m to the point now I think people stills spreading it know it’s BS they just like the image of a selfish liturgical lady.

        Some of it is sexism or misanthropy, but some of it I think is the willful misinformation spread by corporate entities that want to discredit tort laws or whatever

          Yeah but if you KNOW THAT yeah still spread it what does that say about you? It’s like the anarchists who have been informed that Radio Free Asia is LITERALLY OWNED by the State Department but cite it as a legit source anyway. At a certain point are you really being “duped” by propaganda anymore or are you playing along because you already agreed with what the propaganda says.

            Yeah, a lot of propaganda isn’t really about someone truly believing a lie but having “licensure” to repeat it because repeating it is normal. Some people really are misinformed, though of course being completely incurious about looking up details even just to better understand this thing you believe is its own problem.

          It’s now over 30 years ago and liberal media is still omitting important details in the regular retellings.

        The kitten-burners seem to fulfill some urgent need. They give us someone we can clearly and correctly say we’re better than. Their extravagant cruelty makes us feel better about ourselves because we know that we would never do what they have done. They thus function as signposts of depravity, reassuring the rest of us that we’re Not As Bad As them, and thus letting us tell ourselves that this is the same thing as us being good.
