    Unironically, we are on track to collapse within the decade. That’s not my estimation either, people much smarter than me made that educated guess decades ago and they’ve been mostly correct about everything what iirc.

    “Furiosa” is not mentioned even once in this meme. When i close it, in my mind i see it with “Furiosa” in the screens’ headlines, though. What is this witchery?

    He killed a guy, he can spend life in prison. Even if you agree with it, seems like a fair trade to me. Let the judge and jury make the exceptions, it’s not up to the mob.

    Idk why all of you idolize him so much while showing actual animosity to politicians who have an actual positive impact on all of our lives. You shouldn’t want to be like Luigi, you should want to be like Bernie Sanders and AOC. Hell, even Biden.

      The only person on your list anyone should listen to is Bernie, and the dems shoved him in the background in favor of Clinton, whom no one even likes or respects. Biden is also a senile, ancient ruling class ghoul that’s been spearheading a genocide for years, within a party that has abandoned its constituents, including the trans community.

      We consider him a folk hero because we’ve spent years of our lives voting and screaming into the void to a political party that is the equivalent of an unsalted saltine cracker, and does nothing but let the fascists run wild so they can maintain their status quo (It’s also the party that just rejected AOC in favor of an old man dying from cancer). He killed a CEO of an industry that has fucked over literally everyone in America at some point or another—myself included—and denies coverage for medications that often results in death. It’s an industry that makes money when people die. If you think anyone is going to feel sorry for Brian Thompson, there’s like a million people that will disagree.

        I never suggested anybody should feel sorry for Brian Thompson lmao what are you on? Brian is dead. This is about Luigi. People who break the laws need to go to trial.

          Oh he will. He knew what he was getting into. The terrorism charge is a bit much, but clearly for show. I don’t think anyone expected him not to be charged.

            The terrorism charge is because it’s a requirement for First Degree Murder charges in the State of New York. It wouldn’t be there if the crime was in different state.

        Biden worked to forgive billions in medical debt for millions of americans and remove medical debt from credit history.

        Luigi killed one guy.

        Seems to me like Biden deserves more praise. Even if you think he is somehow responsible for Israel’s actions, the good outweighs the bad on a scale where lives are equal.

      I don’t want to be like Luigi, but only because it wouldn’t play to my strengths. Him going to prison is the trade he made, but not really because it’s what should happen. The law is so opposed to what should happen at this point, that the mob is more likely to make the right decision.

      I have no animosity for Bernie, or even AOC, as they’ve normalized democratic socialism for the younger generations. This is a contribution that cannot be understated, as it held back the American left since the dawn of our labor movement. At the same time, Biden is uniquely responsible for Trump winning, while the rest of the Democrats are a barrel of mostly rotten apples. They need to be abandoned ASAP, at least in national politics.

      Luigi is more of a hero than almost all Democrats, with fewer bad points and more personal sacrifice. Idolizing him also expands his act of terror against the rich, who have no winning move against it:

      • Act defensive and crack down on the left? Alienate the working class from Democrats.
      • Do nothing? Best option, but the leftist message faces little opposition.
      • Ally with Trump? He’ll gladly accept, but they’ll have less of a voice than with Democrats.

      Liberal democracy was done for the moment Biden refused to step back after the midterms. It might’ve been done the moment he won the primary. Democrats refused to save it because of their corruption, and now class war is the best option forward. The alternative is a race war that starts with Latinos; an expansion of the culture war to its inevitable conclusion. The rich are responsible, so we must bring them down with the rest of us.

        So instead of being a good apple you want to see and very easily achieving 90% of all of your political stances by voting blue, you want vigilantes to start killing people in the street all across the nation?

        Thats just stupid.

          They stopped being able to achieve my political stances. That’s why I’m done with them. I am a strong advocate of harm reduction, but the Democrats failed when Trump won. At a local level, it still matters, but at a national level, they’re all irrelevant now.

          I just recognize that the rules changed; you’re still living in the past.

            Lmao

            I see people like you trying to change the rules because the game is too hard. Like a child.

            The Democrats didn’t fail us. We failed the Democrats. We didn’t show up to the polls.

              Nah, the rules aren’t changing because we’re throwing a tantrum. Trump is a fascist dictator who will make the legislature powerless. Again, you’re living in a fantasy of stability. The entitled attitude of the liberal establishment is why Harris lost. They were expecting a free lunch; no radical policies in a system that needed it. People weren’t smart enough to direct their anger, but still smart enough to know things were only getting worse.

              I’m extremely insulted that you claim “we” failed the Democrats, when minoritized people like me from solid blue states never could’ve voted any harder. We couldn’t have campaigned harder. We couldn’t have tried harder. We were the only fucking people trying to make liberal democracy work, but the rich got tired of us. You’re a genuine asshole for saying something so out of touch.

              When the rule of law crumbles, I can only hope that you help those who need it more than you. I won’t care less about saying I told you so. Just get with the program.
