fellas what words are you carving into the shells of your bullets??
actual lol stop making him sound cooler and cooler by the minute!!
Kinda love that the breathless media is trying to spin this as a senseless act of violence. Why the hell are you telling the masses what the assassin wrote on the bullets if it makes him look like a folk-hero? Is the media really that detached? Do these people think the Sheriff of Nottingham was the good guy?
i don’t understand how they benefit from telling us but i’m really glad they did. they totally could have kept that secret forever and it would have made the entire thing way less powerful
Profit. It’s the hot news story right now and every detail can get harvested for views and therefore ad revenue. That’s all there is to it.
the cops though, why did they release the info
Probably so they could spin up some bullshit about online radicalization or whatever
I too get online radicalised when my online loved one gets online cancer and is online denied by my online health insurance.
Huh that’s funny. Same thing happened to me with Minecraft.
I mean
:(
They are gonna ban masks in Manhattan, and ask the courts to please let them suck up even more data without warrants.
Capitalist realism
The media class are in a profound social echo chamber, the very idea anyone would oppose the elites and celebrate resistance is literally incomprehensible to them, they’re not educated enough to even think about this abstractly, most of them were trust fund brats of one kind or another, their brains are just not wired for this
On the otherhand the cops are just happy to have someone “worthy” to hunt, whose capture or killing will give them a kind of fascist glory and social media cred
Yahya Sinwar levels of ‘maybe this will make him look bad’ self own
yup, the linked abc news article didn’t even try to guess what “deny, defend, depose” meant.
People forget Guy Fawkes wanted the U.K. to be more authoritarian.
That resembles the title of this book
and what you can do about it
Jay Feinman seeing the news tomorrow morning: “I DIDN’T MEAN THAT!!!”
be a lot cooler if they did
nah i read the excerpt the author is as reformist lib as lib can get. i almost see our masked angel doing that as a kind of rebuttal against the book, or a more clear cut answer to the question it asks
gross
From the lion’s mouth:
great catch, i think it’s probably not a coincidence
https://delaydenydefend.com/excerpt/ is it safe to see this as the shooter’s manifesto?
its classy to not write your own manifesto tbh
Writing a manifesto is a fun writing exercise though.
Wewweee that’s some coincidence ain’t it
There’s probably a shell with “Delay” that they didn’t find
i wonder if he was counting on firing a specific number of shots or if he had different words all throughout the magazine and it was random how many we got
No no no! It’s a ‘cryptic message’ and has nothing to do with what you say. Pure coincidence and speculation. Call it angry wife/competition hitman, nutcase, lone wolf… All good, but ‘rich vulture getting his comeuppance’ would be a precedent of something they really do not want to see.
Reminds me of the Carl Marks Trailer Park Boys meme
He stopped a mass murderer. In a civilised society it’d start a purge.Rare good guy with a gun in America
The only way to stop a bad guy with an insurance company is a good guy with a, you know, the thing
Thingamajig? Doohickey?
The Chad inscribing bullets for your assassination of a capitalist pig vs the virgin signing missiles being used in a genocide
SO AWESOME I LOVE HIM HAPPY DAY so he definitely wasnt a hired hitman and he definitely did this for political reasons and the media is gonna have an even harder time spinning this
yeah i hope he was like a disgruntled cop/vet/etc whose spouse or family member had a terminal illness or something that killed them because of a denied claim. (i mean, not for them - would be shitty to just have your life/loved one/etc die at the whim of some billion dollar insurance company) but it probably would really bring the whole table around to “wow maybe insurance companies are shit” so…
if hes a cop im gonna kill myself (sorry if this concerned anyone, im not suicidal)
NEVER KILL YOURSELF THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE AND A WORLD TO BE WON FROM THE JAWS OF CAPITALISM
fine
feels cool, but we need to see this moment and energy from a broader perspective. If this just ends with everyone being “that was cool” it’s not enough. Instead, as the debt collective noted, medical debtors (and others harmed by this evil system) need to organize.After all, eventually CEOs will just hire tons of goons and private security. So as cool as this was it’s not sustainable and violence is only effective coupled to a movement. I’m thinking of my
here - when he discussed violence it was always as part of a larger mass movement, not simply wielded by random adventurers.Of course this doesn’t mean we can’t seize this moment and this shock to begin to organize and deploy real power. I need to reread all of Lenin on the adventurism, but does he ever talk about being opportunistic about this stuff?
I think Lenin and the gang did more bank robbing and stealing weapons than assassinating people pre-revolution.
I need to reread all of Lenin on the adventurism, but does he ever talk about being opportunistic about this stuff?
The general Marxist (there wasn’t a “Marxist-Leninism” when Lenin was alive) sentiment at the time was that acts of “terror” (what we’re calling adventurism) are fundamentally individualist acts, and aren’t really worth pursuing unless they are both extremely popular, and exist as adjuncts of a broader mass-movement.
is any of this real or is this an elaborate advertising scheme for a fucking thriller novel?
Lmao a viral marketing campaign of killing ceos
I feel like even Bill Hicks would be on board for this one
I usually hate marketing but y’know just this one time…
It’s an ARG created by Jigsaw.
holy hell he’s actually so cool
Just goes to show that in the age of cookie cutter killings, doing Cool Shit can still have an impact.
Damn, so that means he was based?
Raddest dude in the country and it’s not even close
