> lot of ppl on the left mad at billionaires too Seems the left were always in favor of Luigi. I'm more surprised by the right in the US. The days just after the shooting, they were all in favor too, but after their media pundits took an opposing stance, they joined the bandwagon and are now ranting about "muh poor CEO". Bunch of sheep I suppose.

    It's a fair comparison. Daniel Penney too. The main difference between the four parties is who killed people who'd killed others, and who killed people who hadn't actually done anything.

      And the right wing also platforms, defends, and worships George Zimmerman, who murdered Trayvon Martin in cold blood, paints confederate battle flags, and told the manager who intervened in a violent bar incident he started that "I didn't know you were a n*gger lover".

    That offends you??! Then explain why you like racism better than health care, and think platforming and worshipping Kyle Rittenhouse is justified? The right wing are so thin skinned and hypocritical and allergic to facts, sheez. Luigi used a gun to murder just like Rittenhouse, so why aren't you whining about his second amendment rights being violated and 3d printed gun being confiscated by the cops? He didn't even eat anyone's dogs or cats, just some McDonald's hash browns. Get it together dude. You seem irrationally angry to the point of defending blatant hypocrisy and racism. Why does my criticism of it personally hurt your feelings, hmm? Go play Kyle Rittenhouse's Turkey Shoot game about shooting journalists to blow off some steam.

The period when people have their own reactions, followed by a sudden reset and synchronisation once the taking points get assembled and is really quite fascinating. I would really love to know how centralised the process of defining talking points is, or if it is, itself, emergent behaviour of a distributed system resulting in coherent outcomes.

  Yeah, it doesn't have to be centralized. I watched aghast at the narrative building around the Trayvon Martin murder in real-time across Reddit and The Website Which Shall Not Be Named. No one was giving marching orders; it was just a milieu of people throwing out ideas and the most convenient ones propagating outward. "He was slamming his head against the concrete," etc. (How could you possibly know? The word of the accused?) Look, we're doing it now.

  I think this is the first time I've seen the process of delivering right-wing talking points fail. Right wing media is talking about how bad it is to kill someone, but right wing followers are pushing back and saying they have no sympathy.

    Uh, you don’t want to ever see blasphemy cases then

  what an amazing turn of phrase - “reset and synchronization once the talking points get assembled” Literally describes 99 of the 100 post-jira action items coming out of the clueless PM’s mouthhole.

  Exactly this. It happened during Covid and January 6, too. For brief moments we were united before the talking points emerged. I think this phenomenon is entirely coordinated by right wing media and party elites.
