    Art is supposed to challenge the status quo

    If fawning over murderers is how you challenge the status quo, then you're pretty pathetic.

    You didn't even try to make something original, just copied a meme.

    If you wanna call worshiping a murderer by making some cookie-cutter copy of a meme "art", then sure.

    Just gonna flat out lie about me then? Sounds about right.

    Have fun copying memes and calling it art! Don't strain yourself trying to create something original!

    You know copying pop culture was literally Warhol’s entire career lol. It’s pretty clear you don’t know much about art but I definitely feel better about my piece now that I know it triggers people like you

    Vigilantism is cringe when you live in a society with an equitable system of justice. Since we don't live in such a society, we take what justice we can get, and we recognize Luigi as a cool hero of the working class!

    If someone personally screws you over, then you kill them, it's just normal revenge.

    Yeah, just normal, run of the mill, cold-blooded murder.

    Spoken like a person who has no problem with the millions of people who have died from lack of healthcare and hasn’t had to watch a loved one die a horrible death from lack of healthcare. Must be nice to be that privileged

    And water is wet. It's murder because it's illegal. That's what murder is, legislation.

    In Arkansas it is illegal to pronounce β€œArkansas” incorrectly.

    Yes, those are totally morally comparable. Great work, champ.

    I never claimed they were or weren't, nor have I argued that they were good or bad. I was just pointing out a technicality, just as you were.

    It's murder to shoot a dictator. It's not murder to gun down unarmed protesters. "Murder" does not carry much moral weight, in my opinion. It just means you killed someone the state didn't want killed, or in a way they don't permit.

    Like when you cancel the medical coverage of people with cancer, or string the ill along with exhaustive paperwork hoping they die before you have to pay out. Not murder.

    The killing of Brian Thompson was unjust and morally wrong.

    Nobody was confused about your opinion on that.

    You keep telling us what your opinion is as if that will convince us to agree. You're not god handing me stone tablets on the mountain. You need an argument, not just a claim.

    So you were just being pedantic and don't actually have a point. My bad, I thought you were actually saying something.

    I clearly stated my point. Killing someone who kills a lot of other people is murder. But it being murder isn't evidence it's wrong. You dismissed that without addressing it.

    You've never said one thing about why you think it's wrong, other than that it's murder. I figured you were a hardcore deontologist. What is there to discuss? It breaks the law and is therefore evil from that point of view.

    I asked for more info on why, you refused. What do you think I am to talk about here? Am I meant to guess your thoughts and argue with that?

    My position has been quite clear from the start. Not sure why you're confused.

    Celebrating the person who commited the unjust and immoral killing of Brian Thompson is (at best) cringe. It's actually more like disgusting though.

    Yes, you have been very clear about your conclusions. And completely opaque about everything else.

    At this point I'm pretty much convinced... that you're very carefully not saying anything about "why" you think it's bad he was killed.

    You've given nobody any reason to agree with you, and nothing to disagree with. So all I can say is "Yes, that is your opinion" and move on.

    Obviously you're not actually this dense, but if you actually need to me to explain why I think killing someone you dislike is bad, then I don't think there's enough willpower in the world to hold your hand through that lesson.

    But we both know what's actually happening is that you know precisely why I think it's bad, and you're baiting out a debate on the healthcare system at large.

    So say what you mean. You think there's an argument to be made that the killing was morally just. Aka: You disagree with me.
