Superman wouldn't never kill a CEO. Luigi wins

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

These are the same picture

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 151 points 2 days 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.

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

True, I just feel like any of these changes to policies will disappear within a year or two. And while I wouldn't be against an annual billionaire sacrifice, I think that it just risks even more funding towards police.

Boardrooms, not classrooms

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 14 points 2 days 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.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 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.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

You know I'm sort of a proletariat myself.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah they're often the weird kids that don't socialize much so they rationalize it by thinking that everyone else is the problem.

Not hard to want to go postal when you legitimately think everyone's out to get you.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The CEO didn't fight back either.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days 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.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Higher effort, higher reward

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

Luigi is much stronger than superman

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

Well of course.

Because one is a human, the other is a fictional character.

Luigi can go around burning every single Superman comic and Superman can't do anything about it.

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cops seem like weak pussies.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is unfair to all the powerful pussies out there. Arguably one of the strongest parts of the human body.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Also seems unfair to small cats. I've seen a 1.5 pound cat absolutely tear the shit out of a couple of ≈70 pound rottweilers. She then climbed back out of their yard, and sauntered off. Those dogs never so much as growled at her again.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I'm a 200lb ape capable of using rudimentary tools and would run away from an angry cat, fuck that.

[–] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago (2 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.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 2 days 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

[–] 31337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I've noticed a lot of very old Paris videos were removed this year. Not sure why. Google/YouTube seems to be heavily demoting them as well, because some songs don't show up in video search results at all, and you can only find them if you search for the album.

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 47 points 2 days ago

This is the whole thing right here.

[–] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

That's hilarious. lol

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (3 children)
