No, there was a lot more that came of this (unless you're specifically referencing the snitching part).

  • It's made business execs afraid.
  • It's shown the working class how to have solidarity.
  • It's been a rallying cry for how much the people hare the current system.
  • It's given us a martyr.
  • It’s taught the would be school shooters that they’ll get lots of positive attention for redirecting their targets towards those deserving. They’ll get labeled a folk hero, they’ll have people trying to send them money for their legal defense fund, they’ll get their name in the history books. They’ll get everything they ever wanted out of their act of violence.

And I'm sure there's more.

I'm not a big Astarion fan, but I can see the appeal.

or if you conceal your murder(s) with a thin veil of legality!

Interesting work of fiction.

He's not wrong that people don't mind murder if it's the right people, though.

I never even thought of that. No more Columbines? Just more Luigis?

Based universe!

It might even unify some voters across party lines

I think that user above you was implying more should be done about the McDonalds, which is pretty ironic given the context.

Is his martydom trending on “common” social media like TikTok, YT, Facebook, Discord, big podcasts and such?

Lemmy (and even Twitter and Reddit) are rather niche and not necessarily reaching the larger public, aka this pool of working class folk.

It definitely seems to be yeah, given the number of reposted tiktoks I've seen, and the facebook unitedhealthgroup laughing emoji ratio, and all the videos that corporate media are clutching their pearls over. There are tons of comments in Ben Shapiro's videos on the subject that are cheering on the death of a CEO, despite his attempt to paint this as only the "violent left". When Ben Shapiro's viewers disagree with him you know the feeling is widespread lol.

Very interesting.

And some of the “small” news outlets in my feed are starting to sympathetically acknowledge it as well.
