[-] pyre@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

Disgusting. This is as bad as championing Trump. Rape, murder—what's the difference?

Who you murder matters.

I have zero problem with all the Nazis the Allies murdered in WW2.

This is a class ~~war~~ occupation. The Class war was lost in the 80s, the people were tricked into surrendering without terms. Luigi, an alleged traitor to his class bless him, tried to foment a resistence/revolution to the class occupation most of us suffer under.

The idea that change must be nonviolent is something that the oligarchs put in our heads to maintain their control, which includes violence using captured government force against us. Most nations were founded using violence, including this one. Further, the oligarchs have captured both major parties, leaving us to bicker on social issues, and without a vote on the shape and priorities of the sociopathic economy both parties are well paid to defend from us, the people that suffer it. Our nonviolent options have been taken away, as we're encouraged to be divided and hate our fellow laborers on every conceivable wedge so we never look up. Divide and profit.

Brian was murdering Americans in swaths. His murder weapon was snake oil, a con: "buy our service as your preparation for inevitable illness! Just give us your money every month, and you'll be prepared when you need life saving care..." "... Oh you're sick now? You'll die without care you expect us to pay for? Whatever gave you the idea we'd pay for your care? Thanks for all the premiums, fuck off and die, poorie sucker."

Luigi didn’t change anything. He just killed a guy, who will be shortly and largely painlessly replaced by another stooge to do the bidding of the owners of society.

Real resistance must be organized to achieve anything. This Rambo shit is a Hollywood fantasy. And yes, organized nonviolent resistance can work and has worked many times, including in regimes far more repressive than the US.

I recommend reading Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know for those interested in how resistance movements an actually win real change.

Luigi didn’t change anything.

  • Overnight sense of fraternity and class solidarity amongst the working class
  • Billionaires and execs are already second guessing their safety
  • Would be school shooters types were taught there is a better outlet for their anger that will get them national love, attention, and legal donations
  • Reinvigorated interest in gun ownership amongst everyone
  • Started a national conversation about how the rich are robbing us blind and killing us in mass, a conversation that is still going a full month later despite the media's constant distractions

Yeah, absolutely nothing changed. 🙄

I mean, if actually meeting your end at the hands of a customer your company fucked over becomes a perceived risk to the job, C-suites might think twice about anti-human profit-seeking decisions for their companies

My question still stands: rape regarding trump, and murder in this circumstance—what's the difference?

It wasn't the oligarchs that suggested nonviolence, sweet lord; hate only ever breeds more hate, evil only ever makes more evil. Love (selflessness, i.e., logic and reason) is the only true remedy, as proved in gaining India's independence, and in eliminating the Jim Crow Laws here in America as a couple examples; not to mention leading to mankinds first experimenting with Democracy in ancient Geeece: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codrus

Most of Greece fell to Tyrant rule for the next 400ish years, while Athens stood tall to practice this system of Archons, leading to 9 more positions regarding things like their judiciary system and religion.

Do you think we could have loved the Nazis into standing down and stopping their genocide?

Do you think you can love a sociopath capitalist murdering for profit into no longer doing so?

Do you think plotting to run up and Hug Brian would have saved a single life? Because BlueCross, at least for now, reversed a policy to deny enough anesthesia for surgeries because of what Luigi allegedly did. He brought about positive change to some, for now, however temporary.

I don't believe in justice in another life there's no evidence of. Loving hate just gets you mowed down, this isn't a fairy tale or a movie. If we want to turn an unjust world into a just one, good vibes won't cut it when the people in charge don't even view us as people due to no meaningful net worth.

How many examples of public political rapes can you find?

Lt. Commander Data: But if that is so, Captain, why are their methods so often successful? I've been reviewing the history of armed rebellion, and it appears that terrorism is an effective way to promote political change.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Yes, it can be. But I have never subscribed to the theory that political power flows from the barrel of a gun.

Lt. Commander Data: Yet there are numerous examples when it was successful: the independence of the Mexican state from Spain, the Irish Unification of 2024, and the Kenzie Rebellion.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Yes, I am aware of them.

Lt. Commander Data: Then would it be accurate to say that terrorism is acceptable, when all options for peaceful settlement have been foreclosed?

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Data, these are questions that mankind has been struggling with throughout history. Your confusion is... only Human.
