    Remember, remember, the 4th of December, The hostile takeover, the corporate scheme. I know of no reason, the share-selling treason, Should ever be forgot.

    Luigi, Luigi, 'twas his intent, To bring the boardroom’s reign to an end. With a Nintendo blaster, bright and so blue, To show all the suits what a plumber can do.

    Honest question, I thought hexbear had a mandate against “lionizing Luigi Mangione,” but I have been seeing more hexbear users like u/QuietCupcake even in this thread posting emojis that I thought would have gotten them removed or worse last December. Is that why OP is posting it here with an .ml account even though (forgive and correct me if I’m wrong comrade) you’re mostly a hexbear user? Did the mods there ever acknowledge the absurdity of that rule and roll it back, was it just quietly forgotten, or is it still selectively enforced? Don’t get me wrong, I think hexbear is mostly a great instance that I often comment in solidarity with, but I was surprised to see what seemed like an extremely uncharacteristic liberal position they took on that.

      There isn’t any policy that I’m aware of, I usually post to lemmy when I want to spread a meme more beyond hexbear (since a lot of Lemmyverse blocks or hides us). There was a brief period of uncertainty about Luigi initially, but it has turned out to be quite effective “propaganda of the deed”, like a modern John Brown in certain respects.
