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.
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
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.
