[Ulysses Cheeks]

Well, looks like it's time for the true scion of the Koch family to step up and take the helm.

He was a billionaire that spent a good chunk of his life til the end of his days to screw over people constantly. Just insane amounts of harm to countless people because of his influences.

Why? Did he simply enjoy the power knowing he heavily influenced powerful leaders under his thumb being a private citizen?

 

[Deleted member 7130]

Good... I mean, GREAT... I mean, hahaha I'm glad the evil bastard is dead and rotting!

He spent his life and ill gotten fortunes immiserating the entire goddamn world.

I have absolutely nothing to add. Just a howling void.

He was a fossil fuel magnate that used his immense wealth to very negatively influence democracy, and also funded a shitload of propaganda factories.

He was scum and it's good he's finally dead.

 

[Arkanim94]

I hope he died knowing what a monster he was.

patriot act on netflix did an episode on him and his brother

it wasn't the funniest episode but it was informative

 

[Pirateluigi]

Good riddance. If I believed in hell, I'd hope that's where he ended up.

 

[CDX]

Where is his fortune going to?

I'd prefer his greedy younger relatives to have a bitter fight over it, rather then it ends up being donated to Republican/Conservative causes.

It's always a relief to hear that we aren't dealing with immortal billionaires yet.

Do I have to pretend I'm not happy he's dead?

 

[Marvie]

Good riddance

Mr. Koch snorted his last line of coke. No more ability to ruin whatever is left of our democracy after people like him raided and gutted it.

 

[Strike]

He spent his life actively making a worse place than when he entered it. No longer existing is probably the only positive thing his ilk can ever do.

I can read that he is certainly controversial, but he did some good as well.

I am the first to celebrate death of very bad, cruel and mean people, but for some reason you think it's fine celebrate the death of any shade of "I don't like this person". I can only assume it's a cultural thing in america.

Or maybe there is something I missed about him

 

[Murasaki]

If you live in the US and your state has passed regressive and harmful laws, there's a very good chance that the Koch brothers were behind them thanks to their enthusiastic support of ALEC

That he and his brother spent millions of dollars to prevent the average US citizen from ever having access to.

End of an era.

Hopefully.

He funneled millions into a party that is stealing children and locking them up in cages because he didn't want to pay higher taxes.

Mourning his death is like mourning the cure for polio.

 

[Humidex]

Rest in piss indeed. He won't be missed.

 

[Bedlam]

He made the world a worse place.

Good riddance!

 

[Gaf Zombie]

He's beem sick awhile and not really involved in the day to day like his brother is IIRC.

Nothing will really change imo, just a slight shuffle of the Forbes list.

 

[KillLaCam]

[OtherWorldly]

Good riddence.

This is a pathetic response to a death. Are we a bunch of kids here with this glee filled ridiculous response on death ?

He as killed thousands indirectly.

 

[TheGhost]

Damn...imagine fighting off cancer for 27 years and no amount of money can stop it completely? Scary shit.

Rest in Peace

He was a monstrous person and the world is a better place without him in it. Thousands have died because of his actions and his money.

Usually I would say the fact all these guys sired a generation of useless sons has to be the bright side in the long run, right? I mean they'll have money but won't be smart enough to properly wield it.

But then Trump became President...

The world is a much better place without him. The Koch brothers are terrible people who ruined the lives of millions and the planet to boot.

And nothing of value was lost.

Whatever makes you feel superior in this situation. I don't give a fuck what you think, quite frankly.

He's in the afterlife now, regretting the horrible life he lived as he's cast into hell.
