Too many people pearl clutching today over worries of retributive violence, as if the fascists aren’t already going to be committing that violence on us in the near future regardless. It’s not too early to say that this scumbag deserved much worse and I’m glad he got rocked so publicly. Mods I’ll understand if you delete this and I’m truly sorry for the trouble if you do, I just need a personal break today from the media cacophony of liberals collectively reconciling with the realization that we live in an abnormally and horrifically violent society.
Idk. Lot of people hoped Luigi would spark a trend and that never materialized. Don’t fret too much
That was less than a year ago. In terms of history and revolutions, that’s not a long time.
It’s easy to read history and think everything happened seemlessly - events clearly triggered subsequent events, in an easy-to-follow pattern on a timeline. In reality, months on a timeline actually take months to happen. We are living in days that will be written in history books someday. The people who read about this time will have a hindsight into our era that we can’t possibly possess.
Which is why I don’t understand how we can be in the comment thread of a high-profile, wealthy conservative being shot, and there are still people saying that Luigi (or whoever shot that CEO) didn’t “spark a trend.” Just because we’re too close to see it doesn’t mean a trend isn’t actively emerging right now.
Fair enough. I think lots of people talk about it like they were expecting that it’s suddenly open season on em all, but yeah true. This could be a trend. Well have to see.
I mean, there was the blackrock ceo too.
