Until the rich fear for their safety, nothing will change. We need to take the emotional response that Luigi Mangione caused with his act of valor, bottle it up, and spread it far and wide. The 1% and their goons need to fear for their lives or nothing will ever change.
Unfortunately, MAGA don’t actually care about the teachings of their supposed religion. MAGA “Christian” beliefs are simply a performative stunt to attempt to justify their homophobic and transphobic bigotries.
I was thinking the same thing! If it’s a super small cable (1mm diameter) couldn’t they have some sort of auto winch that pulled the line back after detonation? I’m not an engineer, so I’d obviously defer to an expert on this.
The best way to stop MAGA from seizing your guns is to use them when they come for them. One of them might eventually get them, but the first 10 won’t!
The same way the world should boycott the US for acquiescing to Trump, the larger academic community should boycott Columbia for the actions of its leadership. There is no moral gray area when dealing with fascists. If you dine at their table, you are complicit.
Why would you dine with a Nazi sympathizer? We are in this mess precisely because society chose, at some point, to stop openly ridiculing and shaming Nazis, Confederates, and bigots. When you give comfort, civility, or legitimacy to hateful ideologies—especially those rooted in white supremacy, fascism, and authoritarianism—you offer tacit approval. There is no moral gray area here. Stop making space for bigots in your life. If we ever want a just and equitable society, hate must be named, ridiculed, and driven out—not accommodated at the dinner table.
If peaceful protest is met with violence, the contract is broken.
When the state beats unarmed people obeying its own laws, it tells us: your rights don’t matter. That’s not democracy—it’s domination.
And those who enforce it? They don’t get to hide behind the badge. If you brutalize the innocent, you’re not a protector—you’re an enemy of the people. And you shouldn’t feel safe while those you hurt suffer in silence.
This isn’t about chaos. It’s about consequences. No justice, no peace wasn’t a slogan—it was a warning.
When justice is illegal, resistance becomes necessary.
Let’s be clear: these so-called “tours” are not innocent excursions—they are state-sponsored propaganda missions that normalize apartheid, occupation, and illegal annexation. When Israeli civilians voluntarily cross into land violently seized from Syria, they are not passive bystanders. They are participants in a colonial project, benefiting from stolen land under the protection of military force.
This isn’t tourism. It’s provocation. It’s settler voyeurism. And it should be condemned in the strongest possible terms by anyone who values international law and basic human decency.
When you walk through a war zone laughing, taking selfies, and calling it a hike, you cease to be a neutral party. You become part of the machinery that dispossesses, humiliates, and erases a people. If violence follows, that is not tragic—it is predictable. Actions have consequences, especially when those actions are designed to make occupation seem normal, even pleasant.
Civilized people should see this for what it is: a grotesque mockery of justice and a deep stain on any society that permits or celebrates it.
Congress will do nothing—because it’s packed with GOP loyalists who’ve traded their oaths for crowns, kneeling like courtiers before King Trump instead of acting as a coequal check on executive power. This government has squandered its legitimacy, and unless the people rise up—more than just 1% showing up with signs and chants—this downward spiral will only accelerate.
The intelligence community and military swore to defend this nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic. That oath means something—or it should. If those institutions won’t act when democracy itself is under siege, then they’ve become complicit through their silence.
And let’s be honest: without a real, organized movement, all we’ll see are scattered, desperate actions by individuals who understand the stakes but lack the support of a mobilized public. That won’t bring change. That only buys time—for the rot to deepen.
This is why our allies no longer trust us, why the American century is crumbling before our eyes.
Luigi Mangione and John Brown saw the truth before others did. Neither was wrong—but unless Luigi’s moment can ignite the kind of moral reckoning John Brown did, it will fade into history as a footnote, not a fuse.
Until Russians start fragging the people who issue orders on the ground and opening fire in their barracks, this won’t end. I don’t understand why, when faced with certain death, a person wouldn’t deign to take a few oppressors with them.

What a garbage way to organize your society.
Nooo! Don’t do that. The initial leveling is my favorite part of every RPG. It really gets my dopamine receptors running.

Oblivion remaster looks pretty good. Have you played through that game before?

The stooges are just as bad as their masters. Luigis need to visit them all.

Documentary evidence that Moscow high-rises are valid military targets if they are being actively used for drone operations, no?

This is because Americans are garbage people
Until Russians start fragging the people who issue orders on the ground and opening fire in their barracks, this won’t end. I don’t understand why, when faced with certain death, a person wouldn’t deign to take a few oppressors with them.
The US has always stood for genocidal oppressors as long as they were THEIR genocidal oppressors for capitalism.
