    There shouldn’t be Luigis in the world. Not because what he did is wrong, but because there shouldn’t even be a reason to do it in the first place.

    I want a truly peaceful and equal world. But when we live in a world of “rules for thee but not for me” and where the elite is allowed to profit from the misery of the people, there might as well be no rules at all - we might as well live in chaos and anarchy.

    That’s what happens when in the same week you have someone shooting a CEO for preying on thousands of lives, and someone lighting other person on fire in the subway, in the same city, and yet justice application is very different for either case.

    Because if one of us isn’t equal, no one is. Luigi is just a natural balancing consequence to the abuse of the elite - and try as they may to make an example out of him, the more they do it the more people will be driven to sheer despair and insanity, having nothing else to lose.

    I don’t mind losing. So long as they don’t win and get away with it either. I might not get the world I long for, because sadly humanity has quite a few bad apples, but I won’t stand idly by while said bad apples get to live happily ever after in their debauchery at the cost of our lives either.

    All the people suggesting there should be more Luigi’s don’t appear to be lined up to actually be one themselves

      So. All the people saying we need more stem are not stem themselves. Can go on with art or honest folks running for office or whatever. The main thing is you see someone luigi you did not when speaking about it because it did not happen and to help anyway you can if your not going to participate. Not everyone can be an athlete but they can be an athletic supporter.
