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

Holy shit yeah it's a get outta jail free card right?!

not for everyone. one of these felons helped the rich. that's how you get the card.

the other is just an allegation btw. if cops say he did it he probably didn't. but that alone is the worse crime.

Actually... Shit. That's kind of a good point. His approach was the non-violent solution.

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.

If you’re waiting for perfect, you’ll be waiting for ever.

I mean if people are gonna have guns and people with mental crises who go and murder other people, then let's choose the lesser evil:

a) Sandy Hook style shooting up a school, killing many kids and teachers

b) New Orleans style driving a car into a public event, killing many partygoers

c) Luigi style murdering a single person who is arguably themselves guilty of causing the legal death and suffering of thousands

Now what would be the lesser evil in this scenario?

Obviously, I prefer no dead people, which would require regulating guns and providing mental healthcare and a social safety net to people, but alas, that option seems to be impossible.

Crypto bro working through a mental crisis... not lefty batman...

Batman was a rich bro with severe mental trauma. Any modern reboot would have no problem making Wayne a crypto bro.

Luigi was a wealthy crypto bro working though a mental crisis. Luigi is not lefty batman.

That sounds a lot like Batman.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Lefty Batman is inherently contradictory too. Because a real leftist Batman would use his money to fix the systemic problems of Gotham, and are you still really Batman if you're not out beating the shit out of poor mentally ill people?

Or you could make the argument that Batman solves his problems with violence, in which case Luigi is fucking literally Lefty Batman for targeting a person far closer to the problem than Batman ever normally would.

That's why I use Saint Luigi. It's a ignore all the things that don't line up with the ideal, and only focus on those that do kind of thing. Just like the churches do with thier saints. Lol

Explain how Batman was not a wealthy crypto bro working though a mental crisis ?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (5 children)

lmaooo

tangentially I feel like Batman could never jive with leftist ideology anyhow. His whole thing is beating and scaring the crime out of people, which is in contrast to the leftist idea that crime happens because the needs of individuals (physical, psychological, and social) are not met by their material conditions.

When has Batman been lefty?

His generally agreed upon biography is a wealthy billionaire trust fund baby who suffered great emotional loss and broke, who now spends the rest of his life and fortune fighting injustice

I'd vote for him. Or against his conviction, if I was on his jury.
