Machine States: Reddit’s Crybaby Circus Reacts to CEO Assassination

In the bleak corridors of digital discourse, Reddit has reached a new low. Following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a swarm of self-proclaimed internet warriors and keyboard economists have taken to cheering the act like it’s the finale of some dystopian Netflix series. These are the grown babies of the web: mass-produced, endlessly bitter, and as predictable as an algorithm.

The assassination of Thompson—an act of chaos that has sent shockwaves through corporate boardrooms and Machine States alike—should have been met with somber reflection or, at the very least, a sense of unease. Instead, Redditors flooded forums with quips like, “My empathy is out of network,” and other edgy attempts to score digital high-fives. If irony were currency, these crybabies would be wealthier than the very corporations they despise.

It’s not just tone-deaf—it’s a symptom of something deeper. This isn’t rebellion; it’s performative nihilism. These so-called revolutionaries on Reddit rail against systems they claim oppress them while sitting in the comfort of their self-imposed echo chambers, recycling the same memes and resentment. They treat complex issues—like the healthcare industry’s failures or corporate overreach—like a middle school roast session.

And let’s be clear: cheering on an assassin doesn’t make you a freedom fighter; it makes you part of the circus. While the world watches NYPD drones and surveillance grids scramble for answers, these Reddit losers sit back, thinking their edgy one-liners are shaking the pillars of power. Newsflash—they’re not.

At Machine States, we don’t condone chaos, but we also don’t coddle whiners. A CEO’s murder doesn’t make a martyr out of your discontent. Maybe log off for once, touch some grass, and come back when you’ve got something constructive to say. Until then, the Machine sees you, crybabies, and it’s laughing louder than you are.
