I saw Bladerunner as a teenager and it affected me so much I'm now a grown-ass man living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Follow your dreams.

Should we examine our consciences and outlaw women’s healthcare in case people like this take offense and start a civil war?

This seems like a super confused take. Are you saying that killing healthcare CEOs shouldn't be illegal?!

C'mon man, sure you can use a specific semantic definition of "political" to make your point, but in the real world politics bleeds into almost everything.

The healthcare system in the US is incredibly political, through direct government policy but also the government's influence on capitalist systems that drive profit over people.

But also, the people who "cheered" Luigi's actions are generally seen as left aligned politically, its viewed in the broader context of anti-capitalism. So if right wingers see what they believe to be leftists assassinating capitalists, many of them are going to view it as a political act. It doesn't matter that you don't agree with their assessment, and it doesn't matter what Luigi's original intent was, if that's how they see it.

If it is perceived as political by a faction, then it is political.

FYI, saying "full stop" out loud doesn't automatically make a statement true.

I don't think you understand OP's point. They aren't saying that the motivations are equally valid, they are saying that political violence of any kind will always escalate into further and wider violence.

Wasn't aware of this, looks interesting.

Bone Tomahawk has some of the most realistic and disturbing torture and violence I've ever seen on film. I went into it expecting a hard boiled western but its a straight up horror movie. Excellent film though, very underrated.

This sub seems to mostly be "A world of this one dude who's horny for Archie comics".
