This is the whole thing right here.

[-] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

They should be. That's the point. They've ignored us for decades because the propaganda worked.

"Violence is never the answer"

Well historically, that's a blatant lie. And Luigi woke us all up to that fact. People can argue that the 3.5% rule here applies. But if it does its closer to 35%.

Spades are broke. Die is cast. Can't put the Genie back in the bottle. Can't put the cat back in the bag. "Terrorism" charges don't scare us. Their finger wagging doesn't move us. We can see the truth now. And there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

Anyone notice certain YouTube artist's songs/music videos that state things that may be seen as unsympathetic or critical to the richie riches out there are having their comments disabled or downright removed? I'm talking 5+ year old songs or albums. Someone I subscribe to and enjoy their music and has never disabled their comments suddenly has them disabled.

Superman wouldn't do what that murderer did.

[-] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The punisher wouldnt do what any of those bootlickers do, but his logo is still on the back of half the police cruisers.

Guess we're even

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

Allow thousands to suffer and die for profit? No, he wouldn't.

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Superheroes aren't murderers.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago

Superman killed at least 19 characters in the comics.

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Supervillians, not some CEO. No CEO's aren't supervillains, they don't have superpowers.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago

CEOs are the closest thing we have to supervillains.

That and politicians like putin.

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Still not Supervillians.

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

That's a supervillan. CEO's don't have superpowers.

My oginal point still stands: superman wouldn't murder some CEO, a supervillian on the other hand? That's an entirely different story.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Killing thousands of people by signing a paper seems like a superpower to me.

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Farthest thing from a Superpower.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago

Superman snapped that guy's neck before he could kill more people.

Luigi did his thing before the moron could deny more life saving treatments.

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

Hate only ever leads to more hate, it's a game played best by children, and full grown adults that don't know any better.

Snapped who's neck? A Supervillians? Because that's not what I'm referring to. No, CEO's aren't Supervillans, they don't have any Superpowers.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago
[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

Not with Superpowers, on a SuperVillian level.

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 months ago

The mechanism is irrelevant. Murder is still murder even if through insurance denials, pollution, or any other bullshit legal ways of killing people.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Superman's main antagonist supervillain is literally a billionaire CEO.

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Lmao, it's so hard to argue that point I have to admit.

Ultimately I think there would be Superhero ways to contain SuperVillians. You honestly think Lex would be able to get out again and again from something like that? Can't help but to think something like that would be the way to go.

Hate doesn't know any better, love does.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Imperiex wanted to make the universe how he wanted, causing the deaths of many people and superheros, Superman said fuck that noise and killed them by pushing them into the hypothetical time before the big bang.

So I mean, Superman has already been written to do such.

But if you mean Superman who doesn't exist wouldn't kill a person that did exist, yeah that's believed to be impossible by most.

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Yeah but that's a supervillian, not yet another CEO admist the sea of all the others. Superheroes don't want to have to kill at all but against evil of that magnitude, they feel as though they must because to not would mean the lives of countless others, so they make that age old ethical choice of killing one to save the lives of potentially even millions.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

So you believe he's a hero then and not a superhero because he didn't have to overcome super human odds, that makes sense.

Let me break some ice if you aren't understanding that, CEOs in large corporations ARE supervillains. It isn't a toss up, it's an explanation point. They steal from the poor and give to the rich.

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I'm not saying I agree with the ethical choice this hypothetical superhero in question made.

No they're not. They have no super powers, they're only human. One of which you would be yourself if you shared the same circumstances.

Supervillians are one in a million (friendly reminder that they dont even exist). There's seemingly an infinite amount of people that would replace every last CEO we kill. And behind every dead body, is a family, friends and who knows who else that would only be given the incentive for revenge; The "vicious cycle" of an eye for an eye.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

If you have met a person, you have met a hero. Maybe not to you, but they are a hero to someone. Super is a fictional term. We are but human. We shouldn't compare humans to superhuman because well .. we put a fucking adjective that says they are better than us in the name

[-] Codrus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I didn't even imply that people aren't heroes. I said: they're superheroes because they have super powers; humans don't have super powers. Humans aren't superheroes

I think the closest we get from a real world's point of view—in contrast to anything thats ever existed, would be our capacity for selflessness, not only individually, but especially collectively.
