In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero.

By which he means all over the fucking country, which is unfortunately so covered in darkness there are no bright corners left.

Luigi is a global hero. I'm European and think most people of the world can relate since they experience the same consequences of (ruthless) capitalism.

In some dark corners, in some light corners, hell there's a dude over there hailing him as a hero right now.

Hey PN Gov. Shapiro, it’s “alleged killer”. It should be a crime to speak of the presumed innocent like that.

I think he forgets he's supposed to listen to the will of the people.

Although I don't approve violence, trend today everywhere is that countries are run like companies and common folk, especially poor ones, are considered as "garbage it the way". Export industry being the nearest and dearest.

There should be a way to return the societies focus back to citizens. By the time AGI comes along this should be fixed or common people will be royally fucked.

I approve of the defense of innocent people against powers that aim to kill them.

Violence is justifiable when the alternative is to be killed.

UHC kills innocent people. That's their business model.

I approve of the defense of innocent people against powers that aim to kill them.

Agreed. I see no difference between murder and institutionalized murder.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

institutionalized murder.

they call that the army.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

And police.

And anti-homeless legislation.

And American healthcare.

Unfortunately history says the only way to return society back to the citizens is violence. There's nothing else the oppressors will listen to.
