    having trouble formulating this thought but

    the available information points to the death being femicide / intimate partner violence / abuse

    like sometimes we have “critical support” for “comrade cancer” etc. but it’s hard to get behind what is decribed as a fucking woman beating death as some sort of class victory.

      It 100% is domestic violence. I don’t support, including no critical support for, the violence, but I also don’t waste tears for dead bankers.

        nobody was asking you to cry for anyone.

        I don’t cry for almost any articles I read about deaths including those who were great people.

        I really have a hard time tho with the idea of “tango down”. That makes it sounds like you are siding with the aggressor in this situation. It isn’t like “comrade cancer” where the adulation is directed towards just some natural process that did the deed against all available human interventions. It was a human being, probably a cis man, probably who had some sort of sexual/romantic relationship (at least in his mind) whose hands (or an object they held) literally hit this woman over and over and over again until she bled to death, or until she had a stroke or an infarction or something.

        In the history of class struggle, we rarely conduct assassinations in this manner. We are killed like this routinely. The method of death suggests top-down. Even though she was a banker and probably scum. It is overall I think a bad omen that women even at this level cannot protect themselves from petty men bullshit.

          I understand where you are coming from. Truthfully I feel worse for making you feel bad, and in the interest of our own solidarity I apologize and I’ll leave it alone.

            ok, i get you are backing down

            but shit dude my feelings are of no consequence. adhere to what you said, or have indecision, or change your mind, based on your mind. not on my emotions. who cares of my emotions.

            don’t back down to save my feelings.

      Fully agree here. Especially since the motivation was likely not rooted in material politics there’s no need to cheer it.

      Also, I’m not going to condone adventurism, but also any adventurists, if you do it brace-dark-cowboy

      Don’t do it liz-society

      But if you do, be clean about it, no need to beat someone to death ypg-brace.

      But yeah I don’t think this is praxis, just a bad thing happened to a bad person shrug-outta-hecks
