    Extra stupid because Ruffalo’s been out and about publicly supporting candidates like Bernie for like 10+ years now and the only reason this goober’s upset cause they’re just now finding out about it.

  • In the same vein, it wasnt that long ago that here on Lemmy someone was giving me shit because I won’t throw my Harry Potter movies away. Like, it’s not gonna take the money back from Rowling if I do that. 🤷‍♂️

        It is way more effective gifting them to people who would have bought new if they did not received a used one…

        If there are less books in the field, the value of the books rises, which in turn allows to sell new ones more expensive as well.

      When WOTC started to fuck up D&D and people were talking about chucking their books away I was encouraging them to mail them back to WOTC instead.

      If you’re going to protest a company you have to figure out how to cost them money.

          It costs a company money to process mail at their place if business. Not like, crazy amounts but someone has to open the box, see what’s in it and figure out why it’s there. It’s probably going to cost them at least $2-$3 in time.

          It’s far from an effective way to cost them money, but it’s $2 more than throwing a book away at your house.

        That’s the act now and think about it later, kinda thing. Most of us were trained as early as the age of 2 to 16 to not do that. But some forget the lesson or were never taught the lesson to begin with. Sad but true.

        Although, there is a deceiving reason to do it. I couldn’t decide on one term that I’ve heard more than the other, so I’ll share them all.

        • Rage farming - deliberately creating outrage content for engagement

        • Performative activism - actions done more for visibility than impact

        • The attention economy - where virality itself has monetary value

        Another that fits well is, Outrage profit.

        This kind of act isn’t as bad if you were gonna throw your toilet away anyway. And if you got enough people to watch it on YT or now TikTok, you could in theory, make enough or more to cover the cost of the item you destroyed. Rage bait is a chronic issue online. And sadly, I spent many years exposing myself to it and not realizing that most of it was an act or the post and/or poster was orchestrating it for their interests.

      Basically he called tRUMP a rapist, and said Renee Good was murdered.

      Both of which are true. The orange kiddie fiddler has been involved in about 30 sexual based court cases over the decades, the most prominent ones are the E Jean Carroll trial, and also his ex wife where he paid her off handsomely but one of the conditions was she wasn’t allowed to call what he did to her rape.
      And Renee Good was obviously murdered. I mean even if she was aiming her car at the pig that murdered her it’s still illegal to just shoot unarmed criminals. So it’s deffo murder to shoot an unarmed mother pulling out of her driveway in the head 3 times.

      However, some people think it’s ok to rape and murder…

        I mean even if she was aiming her car at the pig that murdered her it’s still illegal to just shoot unarmed criminals.

        The problem with this sentiment is that motor vehicles can and have been used as lethal weapons before.

        This absolutely isn’t a defense of ICE murdering a person, but there are definitely instances where use of lethal force on a driver with no other weapons is warranted.

        This wasn’t one of those instances, though.

          Although police are evidently trained not to fire into a moving vehicle. If the vehicle is a danger, you have to use another vehicle to stop it. If on foot, just stay out of the way of possible danger (which the guy also screwed up by walking toward being in front of the vehicle).

          See what happened in this case, when he killed her, did that stop the car? No it sent the car accelerating uncontrolled down the road until colliding with a parked car stopped it. No amount of shooting the car would have stopped it or made it less likely to hit him.

          Using a car to stop another car, yeah, they do that (and it’s risky enough as it is), but don’t shoot into a moving car, the risk is just too high.

            My point is that a person behind the wheel of a car isn’t harmless.

            The fact that it’s not harmless is what negates the terrorist’s claim of self defense because he intentionally positioned himself in front of it. He wouldn’t have been in any danger if he took literally two steps to the right.

            But I don’t disagree with anything you said, I’m just clarifying my point. Well, I disagree with calling ICE law enforcement.

          Yep, I completely agree.
          The pigs are trained to not stand in front of cars, I mean most children are taught at a very young age to not do that.

          The only reasons for that murderer to circle then stand in front of her car are that he has less intelligence than most children, or he wanted to escalate things so he could pull his gun out and shoot someone.
          Both could be true, but the latter is most likely.

            Exactly. The terrorist was creating a situation in which he could murder.

            I just take issue with the notion that a person behind the wheel of a multi ton death machine is harmless. They’re not harmless, which is why intentionally standing in front of the vehicle negates the ICE agent’s claim of self defense.
