      Averaging more than one every six months. That’s quite impressive really, even if the quality arguably hasn’t always been there. Assassinations still doing better than Marvel movies though on the quantity-quality scale.

        Knowing their M.O. of letting controlled psychopaths do what the state surveillance system is fully aware they are going to do, (see Charles Manson) the killing of those senators was likely a threat to the others. There’s a big difference between how the media reacts when it’s a guy with a church flock shooting two senators vs. a rando upper-middle class taking out an upper who harmed him.

        The second implies the first rule of revolution: The system no longer functions for the bourgeois or proletariat.

        Analyzing America as a bastard offspring of the UK class system- you can see clear, intentional splits between classes of proletariat. Luigi was inarguably upper-class US proletariat. If those guys are turning against the castle-dwellers, they’re fucked.

        The plastic god is sensing how close it is to self-immolation. They will sacrifice anyone.

      Leftist politicians (and sometimes liberals like those senators) get taken out all the time. They fear this for the same reasons as Luigi. Potentially leftist political violence reverses the target from the exploited to the exploiter.

      Because they’re online like everyone else so somehow, parasocially, they think this is somehow closer to home.

      Also I think a lot of the time they know that most of the violence is directed at the left so they chalk up the other incidents as “friendly fire.” Oops, while Q pilling American meemaws we accidentally caused some low-tier right winger to get shot. I always think of that time some mob guy got greased by some middle aged loser who thought he was part of pizza gate. Something like that.

      This time I think they might be scared it’s their own base gunning for them, maybe over Epstein, or it actually factually is terrorism from the left which despite their crying of wolf they have never actually faced. I think they’re a bit shocked at the implications and they’re trying their old playbook but their palpable unease says they think something is on the wind.

        Yeah, Luigi (who, I might add, is innocent.) was close enough to actual left wing terror that they pissed themselves when he proved popular. Any sort of regular stochastic or organised violence from the left would be devastating for them. They won’t be able to contain it like they did the Weathermen, they don’t have the state capacity anymore for COINTELPRO tactics.

    “wide availability of high-powered guns” new grabber classification dropped. cant wait to see people hunting deer with a glock. i thought someone being assassinated with a bolt action would contribute in some way to these dipshits realizing that it’s not a specific bad type of gun that’s dangerous, but i guess they’re actually just specifically scared of bolt action rifles now, im impressed

    Meanwhile I had a very happy day the other day. I felt really uplifted and strangely good and I still have this afterglow. Maybe try not being horrible people with power that use it only for ill thus gaining enemies and living a life that will leave no one but your family and donors missing you. Idk.

        Unarmed civilian proles. Unless you’re implying that it would be their own people? Then in that case it would be more like the US military mowing down finance people indiscriminately in Wall Street during an uprising that targets Wall Street. Or something equivalent idk.
