Stop feeling sorry for them.

Scanning Hodgkinson’s social media posts, a picture emerges of a man who apparently blamed the rich for the fact that he hadn’t become wealthier as someone who made a living inspecting houses for mold. A review of the letters he’d obsessively send to the News-Democrat in Belleville, IL from 2008 to 2012 reveals a man who’d read the book Aftershock by the demon dwarf Robert Reich and as a result had concluded that all of society’s moral and economic problems—as well as his presumed legions of personal demons—would evaporate overnight if the government were to tax the ever-living fuck out of the rich. (…)
The extreme left has always been a Misfit Magnet, and James Hodgkinson was merely the latest disaffected mold inspector to allow blindly self-righteous and stridently humorless leftist propaganda to program the empty hard drive that was his brain. He was merely one in a confoundingly endless assembly line of losers who sought to blame “the rich” for what appears to be his own largely self-inflicted personal misery.
