    Not much substance to this article other than saying it’s pretty much a ripoff of Chicago.

    Also, profiting off Mangione this way is about as American as it gets.

    Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead.

        Yeah there’s a thread here on Lemmy about it. I was banned for a different but equally preposterous reason.

        Yeah I got a seven day ban for something pretty tame mentioning Luigi last month. Then a few days ago my 15 yo account for perma banned for wanting Trump to die after he made yet ANOTHER 51st state comment during the Canadian election. Fuck that place.

    This just feels like capitalism whitewashing. Like how companies change their logos rainbiw during pride month.

    My first thought was “yeah Luigi!” but the more I think about this, the more disgusted I feel.

    This is a theatrical version of crypto bros making meme coins of mistafuccyou after he killed himself. Except worse. Luigi didn’t ask for it, and he’s being killed by this same system. They better be donating the profits to Mangione’s crowdfunding campaign.
