I have a few observations about this latest explosion of male consumer rage.

First, that’s his girlfriend following him in this video, holding her phone and his.

Second, his walk is shitty, because he’s a shit.

Third, I strongly believe he needs to be banned from commercial flights for life.

Fourth, now I understand why the American Airlines CEO spoke about this. The kid became furious, walked all the way to the rear galley, and punched the attendant. That’s particularly egregious.

And fifth, I suspect that his lawyer will use the “angry Asian male defense.” I am both aware of and very sympathetic to how male Asian Americans cannot cope with the pressures that a white supremacist society places on them, on top of the unreasonable expectations of their parents and sometimes their romantic partners. You might be saying ‘what the fuck?’ but this is a real thing that was covered over at Jezebel. Expect that defense. He’s under a lot of pressure, but because our white supremacist society treated him like shit, he had to break someone’s face.

The Chapo Trap House podcast has nailed it in recent weeks. Americans are pigs who are addicted to treats. And if they don’t get their treats, they are going to get violent.
