In the movie 'Joker', the lead character goes on a talk show. [View all]

And, in the crescendo of that scene, he says, "What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash? I'll tell you what you get! You get what you fucking deserve!!"

And, he is absolutely 100% correct.

Why do I feel the same way? (BTW, I am not going on a killing spree. I will just sit back and watch the consequences of that statement play out. Because they will.) Our society does not give one rats ass about anyone who does not play their game. And our society will pay for it. I only wish I could be there when it happens. I deserve that much at least.
