Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • Similar argument can be used to justify the murder of many other people we would otherwise deem good. This is not the way. There’s a reason we no longer act like we did during the middle ages. It’s not for individual rogue actors to choose who gets to live and who doesn’t. That’s not a world anyone wants to live in.


  • I’m not saying it’s inconceivable that the murder of such a person could lead to positive change, but the murderer themselves should not be celebrated - they should be treated for what they are: a murderer. Encouraging vigilante justice will not create the kind of world people naively imagine. Not everyone agrees on who the “bad people” are.

    This kind of violence will eventually be directed at our heroes too, and anyone celebrating people like Luigi will then have no moral ground to stand on from where to condemn that violence. It’s exactly what they asked for.

    I said yay murder. I think we need more of it from both political sides especially. I don’t want anyone to ever feel safe. I think the bigger should rule the weaker and the ones with guns the ones without. Also fuck elections. Let’s just shoot the candidates we don’t like untill we come across someone everyone is for and then lets shoot them too.

    By Dawknin’s original definition (cultural) memes are ideas, behaviors, styles, or practices that spread within a culture by imitation (Greek mimema, meaning “imitated”) and carry symbolic meaning. Some examples would be the “Keep Calm And Carry On” posters during WW2, the concept of the “American Dream” or toasting with glasses.

    However in this context we’re talking about internet memes which is not synonymous with cultural memes. An internet meme is a picture or video that is funny, ironic, or relateable.
