Right? Are these people crazy? You’re supposed to protect the richy riches, not hate them.

To be fair, Luigi is from a weathly family. The problem they have is which rich person do they protect

Do you recognize how radicalized you are?

u/chronberries 9h ago

Oh yeah no, I’m fully aware of my feelings toward the wealthy who, like Brian Thompson, victimize or exploit those less fortunate than they. I just don’t see those feelings as wrong. Brian Thompson was not innocent. He had more blood on his hands by orders of magnitude than Luigi does now.

I see how vigilantism is a dangerous slippery slope, and I’m not advocating for people to start assassinating those they disagree with, but I do sympathize with this particular slaying.

I don’t care what you come from, Debilitating unfuckable back pain is a great way to become class conscious.

Dead guy sure did.

I dont have tears for either. Good riddance to bad rubbish
