If they can elect a felon to the white house, so could we.

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.
