Hypocrisy on death
Antônio Carlos Magalhães (aka ACM), notoriously corrupt Bahian landowner, has just died. These are headlines from news.google.com.br:
- “Politicians lament ACM’s death”
- “ACM created opportunities for young politicians”
- “ACM was very passionate about his beliefs”
- “It’s not possible to understand Brazilian politics without knowing about ACM”
- “ACM is part of the country’s history”
What a bunch of disgusting two-faced bastards! Can’t they be honest at least once? To quote Desciclopédia, ACM is dead, better him than me! Good riddance! Just because the bloodthirsty feudal lord is dead we have to make a saint out of him?
Let me summon the power of Godwin to make a little point here:
- “Hitler created opportunities for young politicians”
- “Hitler was very passionate about his beliefs”
- “It’s not possible to understand German politics without knowing about Hitler”
- “Hitler is part of German history”
Even people I had some respect for were pathetic:
- “[Rock musician] Lobão characterizes senator as ‘a national passion’”
- “I’d like to be at the funeral of the great congressman and very correct human being that was Antônio Carlos Magalhães — said [Green Party politician] Gabeira”
Fucking hypocrite scumbags.
Bonus post: postmortem instructions for my enemies
Am I dead? You used to hate me? Great! Have some balls and expose your grudge to the world! Here, I made you some press statements in case you’re too lazy to think:
- A ruiner of families, an awful role model for young people. The author of [a book of mine] and [another book of mine] won’t be missed.
- He was a cold-hearted egoistic creep. How could he do that thing only to put his hands in a few rare comic books?
- Boiko? He was a goddamn arrogant fag, I couldn’t stand him.
