    I have to tell you, that Action Park shit is still sitting with me… 😂

    Seriously though, thanks for managing that community, it’s a good 'un. I’ve woken up many a morning to a wiki page you led me to lol

    E: also, it’s 3:45am now, am feeling a little called out by op (though I had actually gone to sleep at 10pm too, it’s just that I’ve woken up since 😭)

    Was killing a murderous CEO a good and inspiring thing to do, and do we need to see more of that kind of direct action? Abso-fucking-lutely.

    Is putting anyone, however much you might admire an action/s they took, up on a pedestal, ever a constructive thing to do? No.

    Is spouting bigotry ever acceptable? Never.

    And the only thing overlooking and brushing off bigotry achieves is more bigotry, and sending the message to the marginalised people around you that you care more about venerating a stranger who causes them harm but made you feel warm and fuzzy for a minute, than you do about ending their oppression.

    This is why “no war but the class war” fails every time - intersectionality is essential, and if you don’t use your privilege to prioritise protecting those who are more marginalised than you, even from supposed allies (which a frankly terrifying number of people seem entirely reluctant to do) - then what the fuck are you doing? (enabling and participating in bigotry is what)

    If you can’t deal with valid criticism of someone you consider a hero, you’re not a fan, you’re a cult follower, and nothing good has ever come from being part of a cult.

    E: Just adding what I’ve seen so far, if your knee jerk reaction is to defend these posts, or brush them off as “error in judgment” or whatever (especially if you would be outraged if, say, some random MAGA had made similar statements, as I’m sure many have), you are saying that their content, and the people it is aimed at, are acceptable collateral damage to you.

    Luigi Mangione reposted Gurwinder @G_S_Bhogal Wokeism needs racism to exist, so it's always looking to pathologize new things as racist, including, now, attempts to start conversation by asking where you're from. If wokeism teaches minorities to be traumatized even by friendly gestures, it cannot claim to bridge divides

    If this is him the shooter is a tech bro who think a lot about masculinity and retweets videos of Peter Thiel and Mike Benz and also retweets a literal Nazi account talking about falling birthrates with a weird long list of ways to make Japanese people have more babies bsky.app/profile/kash... Luigi Mangione @PepMangione Modern Japanese urban environment is an evolutionary mismatch for the human animal. The solution to falling birthdates isn't immigration. It's cultural. Encourage natural human interaction, sex, physical fitness and spirituality: *ban Tenga fleshlights and "Japan Real Hole" custom pornstar pocket pussies being sold in Don Quixote grocery stores *replace conveyor belt sushi and restaurant vending machine ordering. with actual human interaction with a waiter *replace 24/7 eSports cafes where young males earn false fitness signals via Tekken fighting and Overwatch shooting games, with athletics in school *heavily stigmatize maid cafes where lonely salarymen pay young girls to dress as anime characters and perform anime dances for them revitalize traditional Japanese culture (Shintoism, Okinawan karate, onsen, etc) lamyesyouareno @lamyesyouareno - Apr 17 Immigration won't solve anything, it's maybe a short term solution at best. Japan will be fine as long as it stays Japanese

    But for a diversity perspective, you’re picking the most immediately broad and comprehensive minority and majority/plurality groups available.

    Not when one group is already vastly overrepresented, but well done on missing the point. Your congress is not diverse, and adding/keeping a white man in the mix is never going to make it more diverse.

    you mean to tell me having representation of only like 20-30% of the population means you’re not going to do well? That’s weird.

    And with that, thanks for demonstrating my actual point (and also that you are clearly conflating diversity with representation, as well as ignoring every statistical reality about the makeup of your government and population to build your strawman):

    Everyone knows it, but few are willing to admit to themselves why - racism, sexism, and a bunch of others too

    I know it’s so so scary to even imagine, but don’t fret, even if she had picked someone who isn’t a white man, you’d continue to be vastly overrepresented for no good reason at all…
