  • Just because you like to put “CEO” on your LinkedIn doesn’t actually make you one being talked about. It’s talking about CEOs of large companies who are responsible for destroying countless lives.

    When you start wielding wealth and resources as a weapon against humanity, then you are the problem. In a just society, these people would simply not exist, or at least, we’d have the means to quickly remove them from power if they somehow found a means to abuse society. However, we do not live in a just society, or one where justice is actually a guiding principle. We live in a capitalist society that enforces its will through violence, and only truly responds to violence. There is a very, very good reason that Luigi struck such a chord with so many people.

    That’s fine. In the US, it’s a dog whistle for Nazis. It’s not gatekeeping when it is simply factual. There’s a giant facility off the highway here in Nebraska called “Tactical 88” (with a logo that’s quite literally based on a nazi symbol: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsadler) that is 100% a nazi training facility. They even have a giant billboard that says “free AR-15 for signing up”.

    Fascists love to use it all over the place. So here, in this context, it has a very specific meaning. And when we are dealing with a fascist takeover of our goddamn country, we have every fucking right to tell Nazis using nazi dog whistles to fuck off.
