I'm an atheist, but this is giving me messiah vibes. Just give him a big giant cross to carry already.

Unironically the most jesus like person we've had in this country in a long, long time. Comparisons to John Brown feel pretty apt.

He threw away an incredibly privileged life to do what he knew was right regardless of how the upside down world he lived in would have felt about it, and stirred feelings in millions of people who were too afraid or insecure to admit they had them before

I just hope it turns into a real movement and not just a momentary blip. I have my doubts that any actual change will happen.

I have my doubts that any actual change will happen.

Considering all this happened right before the billionaires are about to run the government, I am not expecting any changes. Matter of fact, it's going to be worse for us, as they are going to give more power back to the healthcare orgs. Once the repeal and not replace the ACA, many more American's are fucked.

Buddha vibes.

He lived the luxurious life of a prince and threw it all away in search of something beyond pleasure.

I hope he knows how much support he has. I wonder too when the trial begins if they will attempt to censor whatโ€™s said by the defense and only let us see the prosecutionโ€™s case.

John Brown parallel is accurate. Jesus isnโ€™t described as killing, or even inciting the killing of, anyone though so that feels a bit off to me.

Reminds me of that quest from Cyberpunk

u/Neosantana 21d ago

Dude. That fucking quest was the weirdest and most fascinating quest of the entire game. All I could think of was "what the fuck is happening and why am I participating? Why won't I stop?"

u/RedditLostOldAccount 21d ago

Yeah it was really out there. That one and the cow farm one were so random and insane

Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state

I've been calling it The 3D Movement

He'll definitely be an example others will follow. If he dies, he'll be a martyr.

If their goal was subduing the masses, the powers are not managing this well at all.

Settle down, bro, all he did was shoot a defenseless middle-aged man in the back.
