But he can't run because by the time of the next election he'll be a convicted fe-

Actually... Shit. That's kind of a good point. His approach was the non-violent solution.

If we're fighting with the same weapons, then Biden's last act should be a pardon for Luigi...

Biden is not on our side on this issue, that's part of the problem. He is and was the candidate that the people who didn't want healthcare reform pushed in to block Bernie from putting the issue on the ballot by running on it.

I upvoted, but these kinds of posts make me uncomfortable. Luigi was a wealthy crypto bro working though a mental crisis. Luigi is not lefty batman.

I am very happy about the discussions his actions are creating and the overreaction from the upper class, but I am not sure it is a good idea to glorify Luigi.

Explain how Batman was not a wealthy crypto bro working though a mental crisis ?

[–] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 54 points 1 week ago (6 children)

lmaooo

tangentially I feel like Batman could never jive with leftist ideology anyhow. His whole thing is beating and scaring the crime out of people, which is in contrast to the leftist idea that crime happens because the needs of individuals (physical, psychological, and social) are not met by their material conditions.

Also batman didn't change the systemic issues with Gotham.

I don't think he's a hero, but his actions are the inevitable outcome of our system.

When justice can no longer be achieved through peaceful demonstration or the legal system, people will increasingly turn to violence as their only option.

While I won't celebrate violence, I do prefer targeted violence upon those causing the damage to mass murders of innocents.

If you're going to murder someone - don't. But if that doesn't stop you, I'd rather the victim be someone who damages the world instead of schoolchildren and churchgoers.

I'd vote for him. Or against his conviction, if I was on his jury.
