    It’ll put some healthy fear into the ones remaining, and nobody said it had to stop there. it’s just a nice place to get started.

      It won’t stop there, because it won’t start there.

      I get that it’s fun to imagine, but even in an imagined purge reality doing what is in the comic will only end with a queue of dead people, not a dead musk.

      Without uniting and organising you’re not going to put any fear in to anyone (at most, you’ll get some other rich people to get even better security like after what Luigi did before they move on with their lives, but you wouldn’t, because you’d never get through the already existing security the world’s richest man can afford).

      The first step to actually changing things is to unlearn the toxic individualism indoctrinated in us by capitalism (among many other things of course) and realising that our power lays in unity.

        this is a comment about a comic where The Purge is a reality. it was not an attempt serious revolutionary planning. and I don’t see how lining up with hundreds of others to kill one of the oligarchy is somehow representative of “toxic individualism”

          As for toxic individualism - it’s thinking that you can get to him on your own. Each person is there for their own turn. So again - all that would end in, even in imaginary purge land is the queue getting mowed down by machine gun. For someone from .ml you seem unfamiliar with the concept of “workers of the world unite” and what it represents.

          I’m also literally pointing out that serious revolutionary planning would be a much better way to actually get to him (and not only him, so actually having a long lasting impact rather than just a temporary dopamine hit before returning to the status quo), not suggesting or even implying that that’s what’s going on here lmfao

            the queue is a gag; you’re dissecting the frog. it’s not expressing a genuine desire to wait in a queue to murder elon musk. no person who has a genuine desire to violently murder someone is going to patiently wait in a queue for their turn to, what, double, triple murder him? it’s a joke about how a lot of people hate him. i think maybe reading toxic individualism into this is a bit overreaching, but whatever preach on i guess.
