    I was literally about to post this lol

    The reaction to this versus Luigi is nothing surprising. Not that PSL openly supported Luigi but it’s clear they wanted to ride the populist sentiment of being angry at the rich while not actually committing to how this could be used as a lesson or chance for a revolutionary party to expand their reach.. just more: “it’s the 99% versus the 1%” Bernie sanders bullshit

    Yet their entire line around Palestine has been “resistance is justified” “all acts committed against genocide are justified” etc, yet when something actually happens that threatens Becker’s bottom line, they are quick to distance themselves and cry adventurism.

    Honestly disgusting and so glad I left. Can’t wait for these cowards to fade away

    everyone and their mom wanted to d***ride Luigi and yet when some leftists rightfully pointed out he only got this sympathy because he’s young, white and conventionally attractive everyone just called you a bitter hater or a stick in the mud

    its probably easier for most libs and white people to get radicalized against the healthcare industry than against the cops/israel, since its clearer to see the negative impact healthcare has on their lives and they're racist

    i'm a big believer that intent doesn't matter as much as actual effect. You're right that the sympathy for Luigi is misdirected in part but it bears mentioning that most people supported "him" while he was still anonymous regardless. If Luigi has attempted to shoot the CEO but killed a random passerby even though he meant to smoke the former, I don't think there'd be as much sympathy.
    The only reason I mention this is because I often see a lot of glorification of people like Aaron Bushnell (Elias even cites him), and the guy didn't accomplish jack s***. No one even remembers him unless they're already tapped in to basically online discourse. Like it's great the guy had the intent to do something meaningful for a good cause but it didn't accomplish anything in any material manner. Celebrating that basically is equivalent to celebrating someone jumping off a building because they left a note in their bedroom that said "israel is bad".
    with this guy I read his """manifesto""" and I think it's very well written and ideologiclally coherent but realistically his actions don't reflect his writing and arguably come off to me misdirected in the same way as white women supporters of Luigi.
    He kind of waxes poetic about Gaza on an intellectual basis that comes off more egotistical than it does critical and serves more to reinforce his intelligence than justify his actions. The idea that he even cites Aaron Bushnell here to claim "their sacrifices were not in vain" is absolute first worlder brain. Like yeah the sacrifices of some random idiot who accomplished nothing wasn't in vain?? How about the sacrifices of the actual f***ing population of palestine murdered by Israel and the inaction of western hegemony. If you actually read the letter it is f***ing absurd that he pays more sympathy to the WESTERNERS THAT PROTESTED GAZA instead of THE PEOPLE IN GAZA. Cap that off with him shooting 2 random ass low level embassy people one of which wasn't even Israeli. It's mind boggling to me because what was he trying to accomplish here? We live in a time of pure ego. Compare this with McVeigh's writing about the OKC bombing being retribution for Waco / police state / etc.

    sus ass final sentence

    my point is that mcveigh was in a very similar circumstance to someone like luigi or bushnell in terms of having strong ideological views as well as the will to extend those views onto violent means following logical conclusions to what he believed. when it's right wing people in this country their logical conclusion to "something must be done about injustice in the government" it's the largest act of domestic terrorism in US history, when it's left wing people it's some random ass staffer being smoked or the protestor literally offing themselves

    "Far from opposing the so-called excesses – instances of popular vengeance against hated individuals or against public buildings with which hateful memories are associated – the workers’ party must not only tolerate these actions but must even give them direction."

    "As in the past, so in the coming struggle also, the petty bourgeoisie, to a man, will hesitate as long as possible and remain fearful, irresolute and inactive; but when victory is certain it will claim it for itself and will call upon the workers to behave in an orderly fashion, to return to work and to prevent so-called excesses, and it will exclude the proletariat from the fruits of victory.

    The further particular individuals or fractions of the petty bourgeoisie advance, the more of these demands they will explicitly adopt, and the few who recognize their own programme in what has been mentioned above might well believe they have put forward the maximum that can be demanded from the revolution."
