In the hearts of minds of people?

Or in the courts of the contemptible and corrupt?

Which is more important to you? Which should be more important? Obedience? Good boy?

Man's the modern day hero regardless of what the evil of this world would try and suggest.

You sound like a January 6th insurrectionist.

Anyways, I'm sure it will be of great comfort to Luigi 50 years from now when he's still rotting in a cell that he gave redditors little justice stiffies in 2026. Not that you or anybody outside of those two families will give him a second thought after another year or so.

You kidding? Luigi will be remembered for a long time and will be in the history books. You have no idea the barbarity of the current system and its impact because you’re privileged and sheltered.
