agreeing with everything you say, is it possible luigis are inevitable in a system that debilitates, bankrupts, and kills people for profit?

in other words:

i am not asking you to celebrate luigi

i am asking to accept that luigis are inevitable

if peaceful change is blocked by corruption of our legislative process

again:

not asking you to cheer, just asking you to acknowledge it will happen (if peaceful change is blocked)

what do you say to that?

@benroyce@mastodon.social @gocu54@caneandable.social @deepmud@mas.to At this point, I have no argument against this. And, yes, I concede that we are clearly heading down the road where many more Luigis could potentially be produced. In fact, so much has changed in the past 3 months that, for me, it defies comprehension. Those who are now in power are gleefully upending any and all things that many of us once thought were sacrosanct. And nobody is throwing themselves on the gearsof the machinery to even slow it down. So, yes, I can see how a Luigi could happen, and how we’re probably in for a whole lot more of that in the near future. Every day, little by little, humanity is dying.

I've been following this thread, occasionally boosting Ben's posts.

But this gave me pause. Why or not can the same thinking be applied to rationalize events in #Gaza & #Palestine?

If we make a distinction between #McVeigh and #Mangione and say the latter deserves sympathy, we ought to make a distinction between #Hamas and #Palestinians, including children throwing rocks at #IDF.

It's not just the motive. The bias is towards who you empathize with.
