How I wish you could give us his name! [I know you can’t.]
That X post drips with social contempt to the point that it looks like a manifestation of social hatred and class-based envy. It makes me think of the way Bolsheviks expressed themselves.

You refer to him as “he”, and he grew up in Ukraine, so with 99% probability he is a white male. So he must have gotten his US position on merit. It is quite possible that the rest of you just shat on some poor autistic kid that was too different. Or with poor social skills. I get it, you did not know any better. But using it as an argument now is very weird… looks to me like trying to bend reality to your model of reality.
In resoponse to Avi – hatered – yes. But it is not about class, it is about people capable of violence, especially while advancing the agenda the author of the post disagrees with. I am not him, so I do not know if he is enviuous or not, but for me there is zero envy. I would not take this kind of job for any money.

I think there’s a class element in there. Leftists love public sector unions and have an immense capacity to tolerate dumbness and incompetence within their ranks, but hate police unions with a passion. Because in 2026 that’s the one public sector well-paying union job that doesn’t require going into debt for a master’s degree in basket weaving.
Agree with the rest of your post.
