remember, regardless of how outspoken you are in life, nothing will stop the capitalists from reanimating your defiled corpse into a shitheaded centrist zombie if there’s a buck in it:

“I’d just like to say that as much as I think billionaires are destroying the fabric of society with unchecked greed and blatant self-interest at the expense of basic human rights for everyone else, it is a little strange to me that people get mad at them. People are the ones who gave them the money in the first place," the AI Carlin said.

(editor’s note: the above is supposed to be a joke from the comedy special these fucking assholes hijacked Carlin’s corpse to promote. I can’t find the punchline, but it’s supposed to be a joke)

          I want to point out that even the extremely fluffy linked article mentioned these jackasses have previously gotten into legal trouble for using Tom Brady’s likeness (of all people) for standup without permission, and now that Kelly’s strong objections have come out it even got updated with a bunch of those, including:

          Responding to a commenter asking if the AI comedy special was authorized, Carlin-McCall responded that it was not.

          but the esteemed poster in question decided to ignore all evidence to the contrary and went straight for spreading obvious misinformation instead. why was that the move?
