The conditions you put those girls in were worse, Andy. Wish, I could feel bad for you. Oh wait, no I don’t.

    No, we just like to see these people in the process of learning that being treated like shit is not fun. And that you should therefore not do the same to others.

    And yeah there’s a bit of schadenfreude in there feeling justice being served to an absolute vile shitty human being.

      I agree, which is why I don’t cheer when anybody does it. I hope you eventually learn that enjoying somebody’s suffering doesn’t actually resolve your personal anger issues, it just makes it easier and easier to enjoy other people’s suffering.

        Not really, I am relatively old, have always been like this and the set of people whose suffering would make me happy is small (basically people who fuck up the world at large for personal gain). I haven’t turned into some grumpy mean old guy who fantasizes about making a person who annoys me suffer, or even those who are locally a menace to people around them. Anger issues? Again maybe only against a very small set of people. I don’t think there is anyone around me that would categorize me as particularly angry.

        I think the words you are looking might be frustration (at being able to do almost nothing when some people really fuck the world up) and losing hope (that there are just some people who don’t have a single ounce of conscience in them).

        No no, I would much rather Andrew Tate not be punished for his crimes. That would mean we lived in a world where he wasn’t allowed to (or simply didn’t) put his victims in worse conditions where they were raped, beaten, and forced to make porn.

        We do not live in that world. Furthermore, there are young men who idolize this man. They need to be taught that actions have consequences and that they should not replace him. His suffering will send that message well.
