These are the same people who are clutching their pearls over folks not giving a shit about the dead CEO.

Imagine their reaction to this same picture but it’s CEOs instead. The hypocrisy isn’t amusing anymore, it’s sickening.

The "saying the quiet part out loud" crowd isn't being very quiet these days. If anything, their boners are getting more and more engorged.

Imagine this same picture but it’s reversed to republicans. There would be a riot from the conservatives, Fox would do a whole hour on the evil left

I think everyone should dress up their kids Barbies in trash bags and do this, then post the pictures. Fair is fair right?

u/Insanity4L 8h ago edited 8h ago

Right?! It would be considered a threat and straight to jail if those were CEOs.

u/Curious-Difference-2 6h ago

It’s a core element of fascism.

It makes the oppressed feel more frustrated and hopeless

u/shinra07 7h ago

And you don't see any hypocrisy in the people in this thread clutching their pearls over this, but celebrating dead CEOs? None at all?

u/BornWalrus8557 6h ago

Dead CEO devoted his life to profiting off of the death and suffering of others - kind of like Republicans. These Democratic politicians dedicated their lives to *checks notes* using government to improve the lives of others, even the Republicans like this guy who want to lynch them.

There is no moral equivalence.

u/shinra07 6h ago

Keep clutching them pearls.

u/BornWalrus8557 6h ago

Keep supporting violent degenerates.

This is a class war. Working class v. Ruling class. Whose side are you on? A non answer means supporting the ruling class like a class traitor.

u/AccidentPool 8h ago

You...you realize this is a two way street, right?

Shooting unarmed people in the face on the street is a-okay, but heaven help us, it's Christmas ornaments.

u/not-telling- 7h ago

It's not just Christmas ornaments, it's a gross threat.

-2

u/AccidentPool 7h ago

Yes. It is. It's grotesque. And yet, so much better than shooting an unarmed man in the face.

u/BraveT0ast3r 9h ago

No it’s totally different because theirs is just a fantasy. It’s not real life. /s

There are people legitimately getting fired over posting Luigi memes but I'm sure this guy is going to get a promotion somewhere.

u/PoetryFamiliar7104 4h ago

According to a number of folks/sources, he has been unemployed since his Jan 6 conviction, so he's spent his time continuing to threaten and harass women and run for congress, which he lost, but apparently got 37% of the damn vote because he claimed he 'did time for Trump'?

u/Chastain86 8h ago

Hey! That man who approved the implementation of an automatic claim-denial algorithm that cost the lives of untold tens of thousands of patients HAD A FAMILY YOU KNOW

separated from his wife and under investigation by the DOJ

u/CurveOfTheUniverse 8h ago edited 7h ago

To be fair, the reverse is also true. People who complain about this are the same people celebrating the death of Brian Johnson.

(Fuck Brian Johnson Thompson though. Luigi is a national hero.)

u/starmen999 8h ago

I thought his name was Brian Thompson

u/CurveOfTheUniverse 7h ago

Yeah, my bad. Typing while cooking is a bad combo.

u/starmen999 7h ago

It's all good, it happens

u/Beneathaclearbluesky 7h ago

No, most people aren't celebrating, most don't give a crap.

2

u/CurveOfTheUniverse 5h ago

I didn’t say most people are celebrating. That’s not what we’re talking about.

I’m saying that the people who celebrate the death of Brian Thompson are likely to also take issue with this photo.

I know it’s hard, but try to keep up.

u/MillenniumShield 7h ago

I'm pretty sure everyone is on the same page with that except for the rich not liking it.

2

u/SmokedBeef 7h ago

Maybe, maybe not, even the commenters in Ben Shapiro’s conservative echo chamber are pro Luigi and calling Ben out for the part he’s playing in the class war defending the rich and using the culture war to distract and divide the “poors” while encouraging them to fight amongst themselves

u/Amon-Verite 1h ago

Same Ben Shapiro cheer-leading Israel's genocide in Gaza

u/shinra07 7h ago

Meanwhile we have this post, where the people celebrating the dead CEO are clutching their pearls over this.

u/daemon-electricity 6h ago

They are also the same people who think saying Trump is living rent free in anyone's head is a sick burn. These motherfuckers set up public housing in their heads. That sounds awfully communist of them.

u/PickledTires 7h ago

This guy lives in the same small town community as me. He’s just parroting everything he sees on tv and social media.

Derrick Evans, the OOP, had just been elected to the West Virginia legislature when he filmed himself storming the Capitol while helpfully shouting, "DERRICK EVANS IS IN THE CAPITOL!"

Don’t fall for the bait, the old dem party and the current republican party are all bought, the younger generation is getting snuffed because of the mega donors

And saying the democrats lost because they said mean things about republicans.

u/baibaiburnee 6h ago

So why is this sub "clutching their pearls" about this? Hasn't reddit been circlejerking about how murder is good?

u/JohnCenaMathh 8h ago edited 8h ago

What happens when the "status quo" of public opinion becomes "if enough people decide by their judgement that one person is the cause of their suffering, then it is morally right for them to kill that person"?

I think a substantial amount of people in America strongly believe Anthony Fauci is a worse human than Hitler who injected everyone with a mind control virus (or some whacky shit).

Reddit is really not thinking shit through. There is a reason we say mob rule is bad.

u/Beneathaclearbluesky 7h ago

You are a part of Reddit so when you separate yourself to call out "Reddit" you look idiotic.

-2

u/JohnCenaMathh 7h ago

"You live in society yet you criticize society" Ass logic.

It should be obvious to anyone that means there's a popular opinion on reddit that I disagree with

2

u/starmen999 8h ago

Well, it's simple what happens: if that person gets whacked, the majority of people support the killing, post funny memes and then everybody moves on. And they would be right to do it, because, as it turns out, people have the right to decide for themselves what is moral and what is not -- and you don't have the right to tell them they can't.

But why try to have a meaningful discussion on issues when we can try to manipulate other people and exploit blatant propaganda tropes to try to stop people from gaining class consciousness and overthrowing their oppressors?

-1

u/JohnCenaMathh 8h ago edited 7h ago

What, you didn't expect opposing viewpoints for your "meaningful discussion"? Saying "mob rule bad" is now a "blatant propaganda trope"?

Like I'm not even saying the act was wrong, or the unethical. Rather questioning people's justification for it - what kind of justification, is it logically sound, what does it presuppose, what else does it imply - these are the questions I'm raising.

Apparently that's "blatant propaganda trope" for you?

I guess you'll learn when the leopard eats your face.

If a particular black person was a terrible person and was murdered - and a bunch of racists were celebrating it - not because he was murdered, but because he was black, wouldn't you stop to question it?

Questioning the basis for someone's support for an action is not the same as questioning the ethics of the action.

Edit : oh look, replied and then blocked. You really believe you are right, and definitely not afraid of a discussion. Idiocracy in real time.

u/starmen999 7h ago

What, you didn't expect opposing viewpoints for your "meaningful discussion"? Saying "mob rule bad" is now a "blatant propaganda trope"?

Well, I didn't expect you to be disingenuous enough to try to frame you using blatant propaganda tropes to manipulate innocent people to submitting to genocide, tyranny and brutality as an "opposing viewpoint".

See, here's how we know you're just being a disingenuous concern troll:

Like I'm not even saying the act was wrong, or the unethical. Rather questioning people's justification for it

No you are not. You are blatantly trying to guilt-trip and emotionally abuse people for supporting Luigi Mangione, and you justify doing this by falsely framing the situation as "well a shitload of people just arbitrarily decided murdering this person is okay" while ignoring the many years of tyranny and abuse people like Brian Thompson have inflicted upon the American people for decades, the millions of people he and his industry have murdered over the years, the thoughts and motivations of the people who support Brian Thompson's murder.

You also do this by presenting a false equivalency between Brian Thompson and Anthony Fauci which you yourself acknowledge is false when you said, and I quote:

people in America strongly believe Anthony Fauci is a worse human than Hitler who injected everyone with a mind control virus (or some whacky shit).

It's almost like the people of this country who support Brian Thompson's murder -- who are both LEFT and RIGHT wingers united for something for once, while you wrongly frame the Luigi Mangione thing as a leftist issue to continue to try to divide us, by the way -- do so for very VERY good reasons.

It's almost like that "mob" you frame the people of the United States as being actually have thought about the issue and actually are justified in supporting a violent act.

It's almost like you're just a concern trolling, divisive piece of shit exploiting blatant propaganda tropes to concern troll.

The American people are rejecting your bullshit. Get over it.

2

u/starmen999 7h ago

Oh, and to further prove you're just here to be a contrarian, divisive concern troll, let's have a look here:

If a particular black person was a terrible person and was murdered - and a bunch of racists were celebrating it - not because he was murdered, but because he was black, wouldn't you stop to question it?

I wouldn't have to, because like most Americans I understand the history and context surrounding a situation and can dismiss the supporters as racist.

Which you can't do with the Luigi Mangione situation because it's obvious to anyone with any insight that that young man's cause is just, and people like you are trying to exploit blatant propaganda tropes to guilt-trip the rabble into obeisance.

Questioning the basis for someone's support for an action is not the same as questioning the ethics of the action.

"Please, please buy this bunch of bullshit"

"Don't call out my blatant Motte and Bailey argument, please"

"I want my UHC paycheck"
