I upvoted, but these kinds of posts make me uncomfortable. Luigi was a wealthy crypto bro working though a mental crisis. Luigi is not lefty batman.
I am very happy about the discussions his actions are creating and the overreaction from the upper class, but I am not sure it is a good idea to glorify Luigi.
There will never be the perfect Robin Hood. Engels was wealthy, Bernie is a millionaire.
Really the point is that Luigi is (allegedly) right, and represents a justifiable sentiment of disdain for the system and class solidarity.
I agree. Do we really want to make Luigi a political leader then?
Well if the OP does literally mean to imply that they want Luigi to run or something I do disagree there, but I'm pretty sure they're just making a point.
It's hard to say. There are people out there who literally believe Luigi should be the President. I don't know how to tell the difference.
