Luigi is much stronger than superman

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

Superman has essentially nothing to lose. He can't be harmed directly. Luigi made a significant personal sacrifice to send a message - allegedly

Cops seem like weak pussies.

[–] RangerJosie 124 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

They should be. That's the point. They've ignored us for decades because the propaganda worked.

"Violence is never the answer"

Well historically, that's a blatant lie. And Luigi woke us all up to that fact. People can argue that the 3.5% rule here applies. But if it does its closer to 35%.

Spades are broke. Die is cast. Can't put the Genie back in the bottle. Can't put the cat back in the bag. "Terrorism" charges don't scare us. Their finger wagging doesn't move us. We can see the truth now. And there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

Realistically, the death of Brian won't move money or power in any meaningful way. CEOs are replaceable like all workers.

What it hopefully will do is make people aware of the class war that the rich has been conducting for years. Ideally, no more people will have to die to make the working class understand their position, but I'm not entirely sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

I disagree that it won't change those things. This CEO is just one of many, but this event alone has resulted in reaction from heaps of different companies. They see the anger, and they don't want to be targeted themselves. People will do many different things to avoid being a target. Many of those things are not at all helpful to society, but some of them are... eg. 'try to be less bad'.

I'm not saying that it's a huge shift that will solve all of our problems. But I do think it does make a difference.

Boardrooms, not classrooms

I like this slogan. If someone is intent on going out shooting people then let's direct their anger to the benefit of us all. I fear though that the pathetic cowards who do school shootings do it because it's easy and kids can't fight back.

[–] LePoisson 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure most school shooters attend the school they're shooting up. Kind of an apples to oranges thing here. Unless ... Can we get disgruntled board members onboard?

Jk their lives are too posh for that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

All I can think of is the original Sam Raimi spider man and how Norman Osbourne murdered ths fucking board.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 13 hours ago

I fear though that the pathetic cowards

Yeah school shooters hate society but are unable to ID who made life shit for plebs.

Columbine send them down the wrong rabbit whole and I have a feeling media played a critical role in that, maybe intentionally?

They are doing the same thing here which I would think they would know better but it looks like they lost touch with reality. Huffing their own farts too much.

[–] ivanafterall 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The CEO didn't fight back either.

[–] MutilationWave 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

True, but all the planning the assassin had to do is several orders of magnitude harder than picking up your discount AR15 and heading to a local school.

Higher effort, higher reward

And more glory, hell if they kill a big enough fish they may get a folk song or two.

[–] strawberrysocial 27 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Anyone notice certain YouTube artist's songs/music videos that state things that may be seen as unsympathetic or critical to the richie riches out there are having their comments disabled or downright removed? I'm talking 5+ year old songs or albums. Someone I subscribe to and enjoy their music and has never disabled their comments suddenly has them disabled.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago

You got an example we can check?

I see reddit is heavily supressing anything luigi related with only a few being permitted to stay up but half the comments are removed lol

Owner class is really hating the public sentiment

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago

This is the whole thing right here.

[–] Psychodelic 31 points 1 day ago

That's hilarious. lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

I didn't watch that movie, but I think that's Black Bolt.
