Imagine killing yourself before such a lame terrorist attempt, with the cybertruck explosion. Low energy all around.

I mean that’s good, altogether, but like, you think you’d value yourself a little more.

It’s got fun bits. You will have an extra difficulty in the form of Spain sucking away part of your income, but if you’re open to that challenge then it’s fine.

Also you do get money from rich people owning stuff, through taxes. Doesn’t necessarily require government ownership to get money.

That said, if you have a foreign investor or someone you’re a puppet of, the people owning buildings might be in a different country, where you aren’t taxing them.

Going off the other comment, you want to industrialize as soon as you can, to improve profit margins and productivity. Early it can be a bit hard, but one way to make baby steps is by combining one tooling workshop with lumber sectors, which can take tools for more efficiency. The first version of construction sector uses lumber, which makes your economic growth cheaper. You can then use that to build other stuff that uses tools, to increase demand for them.

Eventually you’ll probably want iron to build tools more efficiently, and to get higher tier construction, but you want to make sure you have enough tool demand so that you don’t accidentally make tools too costly to produce with your new, low productivity, iron mine. You can deal with that either with a lot of things wanting tools, or a second tooling workshop you keep on wood tools.

Working from home can do it too. Don't always have to go somewhere every day.

I have good nostalgia memories of Halloween Town. I don’t know if I should revisit them or not.

What ones were the best and worst?

Oh I agree, I don’t think this is going to spark wide action. But I do think the dissonance between what they’re being told and what they’re feeling might be crystallizing a bit of class consciousness, rather than just satisfaction at the man’s death.

Like to use those comments as an example, it’s not just people lionizing Luigi. It’s also people talking about Jost being too rich to understand and about corporate overlords. It’s people actually starting to think about the wealthy having different interests to them, even if it’s only baby steps.

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.
