Post had nothing to do with murder or violence. It is clear who reddit serves.
Let’s not play dumb. Evoking the image of Luigi is in itself a gesture towards violence. That’s the point. Why discuss billionaires and show a picture of Luigi instead of Mary Poppins? Because of what Luigi did and what he represents. It’s implying a desirable solution.
It’s bullshit that Reddit removes this stuff, and it reveals where their loyalties lie, but we’re not on Reddit anymore.
Stop acting like a conservative and just say what you mean.
Or maybe act more like a conservative and obscure your viewpoints more so they don’t get banned. Let’s go Mary Poppins memes.
Agreed. Asking nicely is the only way to get the billionaires to stop.
fuck off, that’s not what I meant. I’m saying stop ACTING like you’re asking nicely.
Why Mary Poppins? Luigi the Nintendo character is right there.
Either it works, or Nintendo starts getting their stuff taken down by Reddit… in which case I wouldn’t want to be in Spez’s shoes.
I’m not actually suggesting we dog whistle

Assuming it doesn’t get removed… https://www.reddit.com/r/Anticonsumption/comments/1jacfdl/she_is_the_greatest/
Yeah, it’s disingenuous to claim that they aren’t implicitly supporting what Luigi is alleged to do with this post.
This is beyond the tipping point where selective enforcement shows it face. If this is crossing the line practically any picture of politician or historical figure is inciting violence.
THIS is key. they choose to take down the threat they’re most threatened by. trouble with removing other public figures is that no one is posting gengis khan memes about ceos. and we don’t know luigi for anything but his one thing.
Luigi is “bad” violence but promoting the violent annexation of Canada is not? Give me a break.
I, personally, have no problem with violence against rich people.
If they’re not making an honest effort to redistribute their wealth to those who need it, then they are part of a system that enables the most human suffering in history: exacerbating the disparity in wealth.
that’s cool, thanks for sharing, not really relevant to the point I’m making though. I’m just saying stop pretending like you feel otherwise when you post luigi
So we should use the image of Mary Poppins, but really everyone knows we mean Luigi but can do sweet FA about it? Not a bad idea.
That’s called a dog whistle. Not a new idea.
This reminded me that I’m still watching some subs through still existing mirrors like undelete so I don’t give reddit views, and I noticed that a big 21k upvoted post on subredditdrama about /r/conservative starting to panic over whether trump even knows what he’s doing was deleted.
All I can imagine for why it was deleted was intervention because of this rule, I couldn’t find a mod post on it, it might have been admin intervention.EDIT: There was a mod post, that it was going to stay up, but then another mod who posts in dogwhistle subs and has a tendency of removing posts from /r/conservative did. It WAS mods this time, but it’s still bad actors pushing a certain outcome.I fuckin hate that people use Luigi’s picture for causes he wasn’t (allegedly) explicitly championing even when I agree with them.
Quit making Luigi Mangione your mascot.

You should feel bad for being this awful at trolling
Why?
I think it’s shitty to put words in people’s mouths.
Why do you think that’s a good thing to do?
Im not saying it is or isn’t, but was curious in your reasoning. One reason it might be justifiable is if it could help bring about some change.
This isn’t the first time I’ve been downvoted for expressing that opinion and have yet to see a reason for why everyone seems to be OK with putting words in his mouth. It’s especially dumb on this meme because he’s not “once again” asking anything. He literally never brought it up once.
He’s a human being, not a mascot.
Mate, calm down. It’s a reference to the Bernie Sanders meme:

Thats why this post was interesting. It had nothing to do with luigi or violence but they removed it anyways.
Not saying it’s wrong, but the comments here look as much like an echo chamber as any other I’ve seen.
Says the guy who makes Linux hate communities and bans anyone who comments in a way they don’t approve 🤣
Bootlickers mate… Every single time
Oh hey look it’s the fucking weirdo who made a Linux hate community
You’d definitely know what an echo chamber looks like, that’s for sure
Funny discounting consensus as an echo chamber
Funny how you dismiss it as consensus.
Who is paying for this shill op dear?
All the working class funded PR firms?!
Posting an image of a person who is known to everyone as the (suspected) murderer of a capitalist, whom he explicitly murdered for his capitalistic practices, and referring to a distinct but similar set of calitalistic practices is not “a non-violent Luigi post”. It’s not directly calling for violence, sure. But the connection is pretty clear. If the Right did something like that, we’d probably call it a ((likely intentionally) poorly disguised) dog whistle.
I’m not saying the post is evil and ban-worthy. Which side an action is done for matters. You might say, the ends justify the means. But get your terminology right, and shed the centrists’ illusions. And non-violence is an illusion. This is the propaganda theatre of a class war. And Reddit is fighting for the enemy.
Thats the point. They are banning class warfare; not violence.
Removing billionaires is self defense, don’t let anyone tell you different. They commit acts of gross violence on the general populace every single day. It’s time to re-balance the scales.
Yeah, the existence of billionaires requires violence be perpetrated upon entire groups of people.

The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime.

I mean. I would never do something like this. And I don’t condone it. But people are free to do with their lives what they want. We have guns to fight tyranny.
The amount of damage the disparity in wealth causes is difficult to understate.
Yesterday I saw clips on TV from us media supporting trump’s stances on Ukraine and stuff like that. Made me quite angry because the way that the presentation of the news was set up was to influence the viewer. Nothing else. It wasn’t to inform, it was to influence.
When it’s about politics on Belgian nationalised TV channel, then it’s always various people who share their points of view and it’s more to inform than to dictate.
MSM in the uss are owned 6-7 trump loving conservatives thats why. last years was nothing but sanewashing trump news, while ignore all the epstein investigation+ we havnt heard from mis GHISLAINE maxwell for like 2 years by then in the news, besides epstein she was the 2nd in command in relation of his operations, she knew everything that was going on, but not a peep from msm about her.
The monopoly men have worked very hard over the past one hundred years to stamp out class consciousness in the US. They won’t give in without a fight.
Bootlickers is the battle ground
If owners control them, they win
If they gain class solidarity, owners lose
“But if I lick boot hard enough maybe one day I’ll get to be an owner and control them!”
If “Section 230” is repealed by the Maga-Idiots any US social media plattfrom will become liable for what the user’s posts, they will have to do MUCH cleanup.
Any threat. Any wrongful accusation, and harm done to reputation will be OWNED not by the user in question… but the company providing the plattform, as if they are a newspaper and all users are staff writers.
Imagine writing “Dodge only make shitty cars that break all the time” on X, and X is now held accountable by Stellantis for damaging their reputation.
I hope they do it. Plattforms that make billions from free work of the users, should own the liabilities.
I was for this when it passed originally but now seeing what these companies have done with it in the intervening years, I think maybe I was giving them too much benefit of the doubt
it would also un-shield any site from user generated content, making lemmy instance operators liable. all comment boxes on any site would disappear; the dead internet theory would become a reality overnight within the us
Well than don’t operate within the US.
The Maga aßholes want to be hateful on the internet without getting moderated. Without moderation it’s okay that the plattform becomes the publisher and is liable. I’d not be sad for meta/reddit/Twitter to just implode on legal fees… owning the fake news they allow to be distributed…while making money off advertisers…
Let’s try the same text with a Nazi salute. Maybe even a literal photo of Hitler. I wonder if they’ll stay up. (I expect they will)
You have to use his full name “Luigi Mario” so it doesn’t get taken down.
I think it’s interesting people keep posting things about this particular person when it’s likely to be filtered in all kiinds of media.
Not that I’m advocating for violence, but man, it seems like the people doing this would get their point across a lot more easily by posting pictures of groups of teens.
I’d say letting people realize that even a picture of the guy with no violent messages attached gets removed is a really good way to get a point across.
Not that I’m advocating for violence
That won’t be the get out of jail free card that you’re used to having soon.
Everyone worships him and his deeds at the same time you let America turn into a dictatorship and let trump destroy everything. So hypocritical to celebrate him but at the same time sipping coffee watching all your future being destroyed… Luigi, on the other hand, has taken action… what about you and the heads in the sand? Hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites FCK Amerika
Pretty sure he is pissed on the citizen too!
Hopefully more people will take action, but change is slow.
People need to realize what he did was necessary and we need more work like it done. We need more discussions, more alliances, more promotion of fighting back instead of being afraid of it.
Right now, the main fear among those brave heroes plotting to overthrow our oppressors are those being paid by the oppressors to protect the current power structure.
It’s a war. We’ve been conditioned not to see it.
I’m not saying that anyone should stop supporting him.
I am saying that if the end goal is to communicate messages of support for the types of things he did, it would likely make more sense to post pictures that couldn’t be easily filtered.
Groups of teens would get a message across(“guillotines”) but would be difficult to filter effectively.
Pictures of one particular character are a lot easier to block.
Filtering systems can effectively block 100% of pictures of Luigi Mangione and of the character Luigi, but if people just posted picture after picture of groups of teenagers, that would be a lot harder to effectively filter.
Text analysis of every single comment etc. Images are irrelevant if the rest reveals the context. Plus for meta data… The profiles that tech companies have of people, including assignment of devices with mac + IP. Very easy, especially with AI, and what a coincidence that everyone is planning such huge data centers just for AI… will of course not be used for censorship or to create ethical groups later at the push of a button… so that ethical cleaning can be tackled really efficiently. ( way more effizient as germany. )
will of course not be used for censorship or to create ethical groups later at the push of a button… so that ethical cleaning can be tackled really efficiently.
Did you mean ethnic, or do you really think there is such a thing as ethical censorship?
I’m just talking about censorship, and I’m talking about ethical cleanup… it will be easy to group people into political thinking religion etc. The Republicans would love to see Democrats dead right now… Making the lists is no longer a job… Hitler would have been happy… So I see the Democrats in America already in mortal danger… All Trump would have to do is claim it would be good for the economy and the Republicans would swallow it.
How is that ethical though? Ethical is synonymous with moral.
I can’t tell if I should assume you mean that or if I should assume you mean ‘ethnic’ like a racial group.
Sarcasm? With Hitler it was also ethical cleaning too… although it was just mass murder… think about that instead.
It’s all hero worship, our civic tradition is (unintentionally?) very heavily based on The Great Man concept, Washington crossed the Potomac, not the people in the army, MLK won the right for civil rights, not the thousands of people working together for decades, etc etc
Luigi will save us (no, it will take all of us)
Well, it will definitely end with WW3 thanks to Trump. He has already given the go-ahead for global rearmament. Although too many still deny it (outside America)… The East has heard the starting signal for his first term and enjoyed the destabilization. The West is still in the process of realizing that… which means it’s already too late, they slept through it. The East is better positioned for war. The one that provided the balance (America) is not ready for war, because one way or another there will be a civil war before the ethical cleansing begins. Also, every democrat should have a weapon for the future to protect themselves.
Trump always blames others for what he himself plans… Well now he blames others for starting ww3… 1+1= trump wants ww3 and to thin America of population.
Our insurance is tied to our jobs. If we lose our jobs, we lose any potential for financial stability in the face of illness or injury. If you protest and get hurt, you’re on your own.
It’s a billionaires world, and we’re just living in it.
Well, 200 years ago Slavery for all was just normal in the US. Now it is only “normal” for people incarcerated, often on trumped up charges.
Things won’t change by staying inactive.
How? If they get killed. death people cant do anything
Luigi was also aware before he did it that his life would be over. It didn’t stop him from doing the right thing.
Yeah we know, wtf am I supposed to do about it?
You probably do more than you think. They control the flow of information because they know how dangerous an informed public would be to their interest (in keeping us in chains). If everyone understood how bad they’re getting fucked, there wouldn’t be anything left to do, the people would burn it all down.
lol Americans can’t even be bothered to get off the couch to get out and vote to save their country, they ain’t burning nothing down
Do you think that is by design or by choice? Do you have any idea the amount of propaganda the average American receives? Be a man and blame the actual bad actors: the transnational uber wealthy. Though, that might mean you’d be required to do something yourself, other than the super-useful finger pointing you’re currently doing.
How is bitching about the problem On Lemmy any more of a solution? You’re literally doing nothing. I’m a Canadian, im doing my job by avoiding your products and boycotting anything American. You’re just yelling at Lemmy users
Yes, that’s my whole life, the one part you can see. Damn, you got me.
They’re scared of anything that challenges their position even subtly. So they remove posts like this to avoid questioning the narrative. Hopefully their efforts will backfire with the Streisand effect.

I’m not religious, but if there IS a god, he has to make luigi be found not guilty.
he might be Jesus
in that case, I hope it’s jesus’s second coming.
If he is found not guilty and leads a resistance to take over Trump’s gov, then I’ll believe in god again.
