      Not to mention one did their act in NYC and fled to suburban Pennsylvania while the other had to deal with police from a far more mundane environment. People who think the comparison can be used to paint police intentions (as if they’re even a single body like some army of droids and not individuals who have free will to show up) are just sad, it would be like saying “the 1918 plague was not as widely reported or is as known as the smallpox plague, therefore it killed less or was less a priority”. People are sadly disproportionate, that’s just how things seem to have worked in history.

        It really just comes down to whatever helps the narrative. Empirical truth is no longer required anymore. All everyone really needs now is just a good profound meme-

        and this dude is destined to become one. His entire message is going to become lost amongst all the edgy salivating kids, climbing over one another to see who can make the coolest cartoon out of him.

    It’s all about attention. They wanted their photos taken. Luigi made history, while children getting massacred is just another day in the USA.

    They had to maintain their “fearful” image, or they wouldn’t be able to do their job.

    Not like they’re even doing a good job with their real job. $7.50 an Hour ended up doing their job for them.

    “The function of that police action, those interventions in Central America and the Middle East, is system sustaining. It is to maintain that overall system. You don’t look at the particular cost. I can demonstrate to you that in every single bank robbery, the cost of the police was more than the actual money that the robbers took from the bank. Does that mean there’s no economic interest involved? They’re not protecting the banks? No! Of course it’s economic; of course they’re defending the banks. If they didn’t stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost, it could jeopardize the entire banking system. There are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime. That’s not true; the function of the police is social control and protection of property.”

      They kept us busy fighting culture wars post Occupy protests.

      And we larped it too.

      God willing the pedons got a clue what we are dealing with there.

      Insurance is just the tip of the iceberg. All corpos behave like this.

      They fuck us on labour side and then turn around and do the same on consumer end too.

      Parasites got a good grift and most people can’t even ID the enemy.

      Warren buffet worship is prime example…

    They’re treating him like he tried to blow up Gotham City when all he did was kill Lex Luthor.
