Or as I say on Twitter(https://x.com/LinchZhang/status/1950641077368824156):

I think this portrayal is extremely unfair. It makes me question the media's biases here once again, where they present charismatic individuals instead of the trail of tears they've left behind. (see image below)

If we lived in a sane world, an article about Mr. Farritor's life would entail like 3 personal interest lines, one line about the dead scrolls or whatever, and then like 1,000 interviews with parents of dead babies.

Every picture in that article should be a gravestone.

I know you don't like to delve into culture war topics, but when people do tremendous underrecognized harm, it has to be said.

Luke Farritor is the embodiment of reckless privilege masquerading as genius—a spoiled prodigy armed with technical skills but utterly devoid of conscience. He didn’t dismantle government agencies to reform or improve; he bullied and obliterated vital programs, hundreds of millions of lives be damned. His arrogant indifference, flaunting cruelty with childish memes mocking those hurt by his actions, marks him not as a visionary but a malicious wrecking ball. The moral vacuum he inhabits is only matched by his stunning ignorance. Farritor’s legacy is not innovation—it’s a trail of death, devastation, and institutional ruin born from hubris and sociopathic detachment. If brilliance is measured by destruction and disdain for humanity, then Luke is the brightest disaster of his generation.

I don’t disagree! May I ask whether you used AI to write your comment, and if so, why?

Thank you for writing this. If whoever comes to power next has vision and good sense, Mr. Farritor will face accountability for his many crimes.

I'm not going to mollify my language to be less repulsive to baby-killers, unless I see strong compelling reasons to do so.
