People love a martyr. Our man Luigi has become one, and it's exactly what the cause has needed.

But will it be sustained? Or burn out?

Mainstream media will try to move it to the next news cycle to be forgotten. We will keep the flame lit ourselves.

I'm from Australia and I'm quite obsessed with this, so it's a pretty global feeling.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm not from Australia, but every Australian I've ever interacted with has been good people.

.......so I don't think your username is apt.

No shit... The gaping hole is the fact rich fucks are all we have to vote for. The President that recently won is the biggest example of undeserved wealth and power ever.

Tell ya what. I'm struggling to make rent right now. Working 6 days a week, living alone, just keeping my head above water.

2028, everybody vote for me, and I'll run on the platform of giving rich people the middle finger.

Like Robin Hood......except vulgar.

Will it? I'm already sensing it dying down. I think we need a refresher.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If anyone is thinking about copy catting they aren't exactly going to be posting it to their socials.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No, but the news will cover it.

Social media companies have been removing pro-Luigi content and people with big built up accounts are worried that too many violations of site standards could get their accounts killed.

I feel like many people are secretly hoping for a refresher. Nobody just wants to say it out loud.

Someone should do a second CEO assassination but this time maybe the oil industry so they know that no CEO is safe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Orrrrr.......what if we got a casket industry ceo.......you know. For the hilarious irony.

I assume that means you agree

Ayup, just couldn't think of a witty caption so I invoked the Spirit of the Meme.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s interesting how memes took on different meanings depending on the community you were in when you initially saw it. Some of them are pretty globally recognized, and others are more vague.

I wonder how older ones will transform in a decade or so.

Overly attatched girlfriend just looks like a cute girl. Meanwhile the little girl who burned down that house is going to college. Reminding you just how old you are.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

We've had one dead ceo, yes... But what about second dead ceo?
