Comment by finitebanjo@lemmy.world on does it rule?

I explicitly did like when it was done to the rich, but that doesn’t mean I have to like the perpetrator. The enemy of my enemy is just some dude with a gun.

That dude with a gun left an unmistakable political message on his casings that resonates with literally every single American that has never been massively wealthy. Disliking him for pretty much any public thing we know about him paints you as the type of person that honestly has a few casings waiting for you someday unless you give up your wealth and work towards helping your new found class.

The only way, shape, or form that this “message” is “political” is that it is apparent less people believe in politics than ever.

Go read the book, then go ahead and edit your comments so you don’t look as silly.

Wow look at that pointless non-argument. Just call your opponent uneducated and ridiculous. Gosh, I better respond in kind, when in rome and all that.

That was a reference to the texts the perpetrator had written in the shell casings he used, which were a reference to a book. He definitely sent a message with the act, and it was very much a political one at that.

Pretty solidly sure the book didn’t tell people to go out and murder people. The author, Rutgers Law professor Jay M. Feinman, has refused to comment but given his career probably has a fair bit more faith in the institution of law as an avenue to right wrongs than you or the shooter.

But I’ll bite, what do YOU think the political message is, here? What exactly is going to change, now?

Was the Monopoly Money authorities claim was in his backpack some kind of grand 4D chess statement? What is the master plan for that, the intended response to the monopoly money as a statement?

Nope, just ignorant. You’re ignorant. I don’t doubt you’ve been educated enough to read the book in question, but you’ve specifically and explicitly shown that you have not read the book in question.

Now instead of taking the advice to heart and growing, you’re dismissing all criticism. That’s okay. I’m sure you’re right. Go back to posting on reddit, le epic sir.

…type of person that honestly has a few casings waiting for you…

Please respond without telling someone else that they may be murdered
