Superman wouldn't never kill a CEO. Luigi wins

These are the same picture

Luigi is much stronger than superman

[–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

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.

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

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] 8 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours 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.

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] 3 points 18 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day 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] 47 points 1 day ago

This is the whole thing right here.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago

That's hilarious. lol
