The conservative halo effect says a guy's not even allowed to be good-looking, if he's A Bad Person. Everything about him is automatically wrong. He could have an identical twin who agrees with you, and that guy's a looker, but other one? Yeesh.
I don't get the love for him. Besides the fact that he's a loser murderer, I don't think he is that great looking of a guy. And every time I see him he's got that smug look on his face, and his face is raised a bit, so it looks as if he's looking down on everyone.
I think he has a punchable face. BUT I totally realize that could be just because I think he's done a shitty thing.
I'm not getting the love over those fucking caterpillar eyebrows and smug look. Yuck.
I have a face like a foot, so I'm no beauty. But I think he looks like a trollish prick.
Are we calling Luigi a murderer but not the healthcare CEO, who killed thousands of people for money and would otherwise have gotten away with it scott-free?
Or are we just expected to "trust the process", where republicans prosecuted a man for failing to pay taxes after he backpaid because he was the president's son and they were desperate for dirt on him? The one where the SCOTUS declared that the president was immune from prosecution for "official acts", and testimony on the president's motivation for those acts was not permissible evidence (so Trump could have SEAL team 6 unload a machine gun into the senate while yelling "I AM CORRUPTLY SEIZING POWER" and be unable to be sued for it)? (See, killing senators is legally okay because the senators can impeach him after he shoots them all dead)
Despite what mainstream media pretends, Martin Luther King would not have succeeded without Malcolm X in the background, showing what would happen if the system just refused to ever give an inch. Gandhi succeeded in his protests because Indian citizens outnumbered Britain 10 to 1 and everyone knew it, and they knew if Gandhi were stonewalled forever then the revolutionaries would turn India into the UK's Vietnam at best.
Luigi is really showing who values what, in the terrorist vs freedom fighter cliche, in full effect.
Yes, yes I am. He walked up behind a guy, pulled out a gun, and shot him in cold blood. Because he was mad. That's fucking murder, bruh. And the jury will think that too and he'll spend the rest of his life behind bars--no matter how much Lemmy likes him.
Luigi didn't start a revolution. Thousands of people won't line the streets trying to eat the rich. No matter how much you all want that. :)
