      There are a few deaths that will make me smirk, maybe a few that will make me grin. There are very few, potentially just one, death that will make me legitimately celebrate. As long as a few specific people walk the earth, it is difficult to believe in justice. And karma, forget about it, that shit is fully debunked at this point.

    I mean… Tbh this does seem reasonable in exchange for their protection.

    But so did the extra taxes in the 1700s when we saved the 13 colonies as well, and the yanks made a fuss over that

        Isn’t that kind of what colonies are for? Extracting money from land you took from the people who lived there before?
