    Mate, you’re the guy who advocated for the murder of landlords too, now advocating for the murder of CEOs, and you want to school others on morality? You’re just as rotten, if not worse.

      Yes. If anything you’ve highlighted my track record for always supporting the morally right position.

        If you think murder is morally right, then you can fuck off to some shithole in the middle East or Africa where warlords rule.

          And yet, every single civil right you enjoy now was only achieved through lethal violence. The powerful never give up their unearned privileges without at least a little blood spilling first.

          sincerely, I don’t know another course of action, the justice system has failed to maintain its checks and balances for the good of the public.

          corporate overlords hold all the power and we have lost the reigns to the political apparatus. what is left but violence.

      Murder? Such strong language. Is CEO killing really murder? If someone has so thoroughly surrendered their humanity as Brian Robert Thompson did, are they really human anymore? You can only commit murder against humans. I think of Thompson more akin to a cloth sack filled with bloody dollar bills than an actual human being. Ethically, what Luigi did is like collapsing a cardboard box or treating mold on a bathroom tile. Technically a destructive act, but hardly murder. There’s no need to use such inflammatory language to describe the disassembly of an inanimate object.

        You literally go down the Hitler route now of dehumanizing people. Maybe stop for a second and try to listen to what you’re actually saying.

          Obviously duhumanizing someone due to their race, religion, sexual characteristics, or other immutable properties is wrong. But we’re talking about someone who Damned themselves entirely through their own actions. No one took Thompson’s humanity from him; he threw it away willingly.

          Make no mistake. When Thompson hit the pavement that cold morning, he did not stop falling. His soul tried to rise up to the clouds, but he could not. Looking down, his ghost found a shackle tied to his ankle. Bound in fetters to a pile of gold, an otherworldly representation of his own wealth and greed. As his spirit tried desperately to soar upwards, instead he sunk down, down, and down, the ground rising up above him like a diver beneath the surface of the ocean. And he did not stop falling until his soul reached the Pit of Hell itself.

          Such is the fate of all men who take the lives of others for their greed. In the end, they all Burn.
