I mean, this is on lemmy.ml....

this is a blanket statement. Its like everyone who posts on here is constantly triggered and has to rage post. I don't know how you can live your life every day like that. The point was good the first time it was posted, but every day the same thing over and over like propaganda, sounds kinda familiar.

It's almost like the material conditions of the society haven't changed, and that people are desperate for a symbol to rally around. You're watching the birth of a folk hero. You're a witness to history.

how is he a folk hero? do you people live in the middle of the woods larping a resistance fighters?

Are you a CEO? If so...the Sea...it calls for you!

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

no? I just know that fallout is a video game and not real life.

You would have been saying the same if we were alive and talking about Guy Fawkes after he tried to blow up Parliament.

He stood the test of time, so why wouldn’t Luigi.

I would be saddened and disgusted if my parliament office in my country was bombed.

Not surprised you’re not down with killing CEOs or blowing up the government, it seems they work for you more so than the USA and UK.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Exactly. Let's be honest, if wishes alone could kill, there wouldn't be a single US health insurance executive alive within 24 hours. The only reason we all don't become a Luigi is we're not prepared to throw our lives away for it. Fear of the law is the only thing keeping those bastards above dirt.

That's not 100% true. i'm frustrated with my goverment in some aspects, but bombing it wouldn't fix my problems.

Being country agnostic for a moment, I don’t really see how other methods have been able to bring about change. You can try protesting and the police will beat you, you can try petitions but nothing changes, you can march and nothing changes.

Wasn’t it JFK that said something along the lines of you don’t allow a peaceful revolution then you make a violent one inevitable.

I’m not out here being violent, but I can’t say I’m sad about Brian Thompson, in fact I’m filled with glee that this might bring about some change for my American counterparts.

well, im glad you guys have a cause to fight for, ill just sit my ass on my computer and browse the internet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

There is nothing wrong with that.

Not sure how you’re browsing Lemmy but many apps will let you filter out content you don’t want to see, perhaps that will make your experience more tailored. I personally use Voyager for iOS.

Well, you want to know a cold, hard, undeniable fact, grounded in the very fabric of reality?

Brian Robert Thompson will never kill again.

40,000 victims. But not one more.

I'm starting to believe cultural marxism the more your group goes down this path....

yeah. yuck. I prefer the Italian national anthem.

The rock is a folk hero, that is why people are reticent to throw their heros into the sea with trash tied to them.
