I think it’s originally from Red vs Blue

Luigi got attention for being arrested, the police are the ones alleging that he was the one who shot the CEO.

Too many people forget this part. Luigi Mangione is, until proven otherwise, innocent. The police, the same people who have spent decades killing them people (especially minorities) and planting evidence, largely with impunity, are alleging that he is the one who did it. Luigi is likely a victim of the health insurance industry but, until it is proven otherwise, he and the shooter are two separate individuals.

People with a lot of wealth and power want to put a bow on this to prevent more frustration from being directed at them.

Who? The shooter or Luigi? Until proven otherwise, they are two separate people.

I think… I think he meant the suit suit, not the skin suit.

I think.

He’s not going to win a third term. And he won’t be able to cheat into a third term. I’m not concerned about that.

Oh buddy, haven’t you been paying attention? Disenfranchising voters and rejecting unfavorable election results has been one of their biggest priorities.

Of course not, that’d be ridiculous.

It’s called the FSB nowadays.

I don’t really understand how Embrace, Extend, Extinguish is relevant to this, would you mind explaining?

Both houses of which are under Republican control. So you’re only going to argue details instead of actually responding to the content?

First: The commander-in-chief doesn’t control the military?

Second: Even if he didn’t, how would that matter for Ukraine? Removing both their support and the sanctions on Russia would still hurt them a lot.

Wasn’t Fox News started specifically to ensure that wouldn’t happen again?

The damage to the environment will never be undone. The US will double-down on emissions and most other countries in the world will stop trying because they won’t think there’s any point anymore.

The country with the biggest military of the world, who they have received a lot of support from, just elected a president that supports the dictatorship committing crimes against humanity in their country. Do you not see how that is problematic?

Yeah, great fun watching the planet we all share start boiling and ruining the future not just for our own species but for millions of others.

To be fair, had it been possible to control hurricanes, I have no doubt that Blackrock would try to use it to extract profit but they’re hardly alone in that.

Wait, you have to be happy for that?

Guess I’m into men.

Max Verstappen approves of this comment.

I don’t want to ruin your fun but some of us have feet that aren’t ticklish in the slightest.

Finnish: “Wait, you guys have articles?”

There’s a saying that humans only understand three probabilities: 0%, 50%, and 100%. So if 90% of people who are rich were born into wealth and 90% of all people are not wealthy, what does that mean?

Usually the knee-jerk response is to say that it’s equally easy for rich and poor to end up wealthy, or sarcastically claim that it’s supposedly impossible to become wealthy if you were poor.

Statistically, it’d mean that while 10% of rich people were self-made, they’d only represent 1% of the overall population, meaning it’d be roughly 100 times more likely for someone who wasn’t born wealthy to remain poor.

These are gross oversimplifications with numbers that are not based on fact, but it’s just a simple example to show that something can be possible in a system where certain people are disadvantaged and it doesn’t detract from the fact that systemic issues exist.
