Well this brings two things to mind. First, that’s literally something Jesus said. Whether that’s divine imperative, good advice for the subaltern to turn material losses into PR victories, or snark passed down deadpan is up for interpretation.

Second, I knew Neil’s girlfriend back when she was one of Brandon Bird’s muses, so every now and then I see his Facebook threads, and he’s just as much a snotty point-winning ponce with people he knows as he is with strangers on the internet.

Which — I’m kind of a point-winning ponce so ok, but it undermines his pose of moral authority. Also, to really pull that off you have to be clever and charming, but he’s just well-known.
