    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?

        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 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

      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.

      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…

    adventure-time 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 fanon 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 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.
