    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”

      this is a comment about a comic where The Purge is a reality.

      I get that it’s fun to imagine, but even in an imagined purge reality…

      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.
