    I remember posts like yours from a while back… and then one day a young man with a bright future and as lot of advantage chose to leave that behind to shoot a CEO in the back of the head on the open street in broad daylight.

    “Why would the 1% be nervous”

    Your post is a weak attempt to sow defeat in the hearts and minds of those who started to perk up and think a bit more after seeing what Luigi decided needed to be done. On balance, your post reads like you’re actually nervous.

        Sure, but rumors have it there are people that go out and actually touches grass between their slacktivism sessions.

          It really helps that increasingly the internet just feels shittier and shittier so people actually WANT to “touch grass”.

        I mean, “nobody wants to work anymore!”… Maybe you’re just repeating buzzwords because the blind repetition is comforting enough to help you feel sure about an unsure world? Maybe you’ve long since stopped questioning the meaning of these catchphrases and their perceived validity before you plainly parrot them, as designed.

        How about people actually do shit, take action in real live, and then they supplement that with additional online activism. I’m out marching, I’m picketing, I’m supporting unions, I’m researching candidates and their funding and I’m voting. I’m educating younger people who are curious and welcoming back misled friends and family when they wake to the tactics of conservatives and realize they need to stop refraining or voting against their best interest.

      Technically wasn’t broad daylight, it was just before sunrise. But that doesn’t really affect your point.
