Colin Jost's look of contempt and incredulity is both cringe-inducing and beautiful to see because it's a sign that the ruling class is losing the narrative.

The way the comments there are all cheering for Luigi this far after the event, on the official SNL channel, is pretty crazy (good).
Propaganda of the Deed has a bad efficacy historically, and it’s no replacement for organized action, but I kinda wonder if the dynamics of it are different now compared to the last cycle of it.
Now, with mass media constantly barraging people with the man and the event, reminding them of it, and the juxtaposition of the ruling class commentary and their own experiences, it seems like it’s sorta working more?
Though I’m sure if similar actions become more widespread, responses would be more mixed.
tbh I think people said the same thing about Bernie Sanders, and while that it's technically true that Bernie Sanders had rippling repercussions socially, we're pretty disappointed with the overall results.
There could be 10 more adjustments this year and then the whole thing might quietly fade. Maybe Trump does something mass protestable then Luigi gets totally forgotten aside from a meme like Dorner. Maybe a revolution does start. Maybe the DailyWire pivots and tries to channel that energy into some ghoulish thing.
I'm pretty open minded either way on Luigi's potential larger repercussions, but it's too early to tell if this will go anywhere. It's best to try to just make sure principled voices are heard and reactionary megaphones are given opposition every chance we get.
Lmfao you called it. Literally everyone on Earth is celebrating this guy except for Hexbear mods
