Brian Thompson, Not Luigi Mangione, Is the Real Working-Class Hero(archive.ph)

Not sure you read my whole comment but yeah, it has an impact on Tuesday that will last until next Wednesday, or whenever the usual distractions bump this down to the bottom of people’s feeds.

Remember the Panama Papers, which exposed the offshore finance links of the wealthy? Didn’t think so.

Or the Paradise Papers, which also exposed the offshore finance links of the wealthy? Didn’t think so.

Don’t talk down to me. Sure, I remember, partly why I’m a communist today. But! Normal people don’t care about that nerd shit. What people care about is blood on the streets, that’s what grabs their attention.

Grabs their attention is right, until next Thursday when something else does and we’re back to business as usual. I wouldn’t call it “having a direct effect” I would call it a very temporary delusion of one.
