"We stood behind Obama" and repeatedly came up with racist and hateful statements that you and your friends were using long before I was even born.

No.

The meme is pointing out that the non-violent solution didn't work. The "common cultural knowledge" that makes it humourus is that a wealthy guy with 37+ felony convictions and no interest in the common people. Luigi killed one dude that had it coming.

It's not glorifying a thing. It's the common millennial Gallows Humor.

Or maybe the pressure of someone else potentially cleaning my place will actually get me to do it.

Not that I have weird stuff I don't want people to know about. Not that I would say I do either. Or comment that I don't have weird stuff because pointing it out would kind of say I have weird stuff. I don't have weird stuff.

Yeah I have a complete meltdown whenever my keys, wallet, and phone aren't in my pockets, because I don't know where they are the

Batman repeatedly made attempts at systemic change using his wealth. It's kind of his arc - he starts young out of anger and rage with his only limit being he would not kill. As he ages, his various funds and programs he starts run into roadblocks from criminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in then to enrich themselves. But his biggest problem (in Gotham at least) is that there are many villains who simply want to fight progress because it makes them feel good. His money can do a lot of the work, but his particular skills allow him to apprehend some of the biggest challenges to his goals.

But he's still human. He's still deeply flawed. That's sort of the whole point. He's not fixing everything alone, he can't. None of us can.

It's not glorifying Luigi. He's a vigilante. The health insurance companies are criminals in the eye of the majority, and the majority can't get it changed through legal peaceful means. The vigilante sees an injustice and takes it upon themselves to enact justice extrajudicially.

As we have seen, the majority appears to to support his actions. His background is unimportant. Humans are very grey. That's one of the things that democracy can account for.

Think of it this way: if he was willing to risk all that he had to enact justice once does that not make him better than many of us? How many of us have smaller amounts of excess, are directly impacted by the health insurance companies, yet have done nothing but take steps that have not helped anyone else? That's the definition of sacrifice rather than compromise.

Actually... Shit. That's kind of a good point. His approach was the non-violent solution.

To be fair, these guys were in Vietnam.

They probably gave absolutely no fucks whatsoever.
