Is this the most successful propaganda of the deed in American history?

?

wasn't Harper's Ferry widely condemned at the time by the liberal masses? not well read on the topic but I've seen people compare October 7th to it for that reason.
- It was, but it kicked off the Civil War just a few years later. In terms of making people get off their asses and do the right thing* it's solidly in first place so far.
  *Only after much kicking, screaming, denial, and eventual failure to deliver fully on the true end of slavery in the US.
- Some yes, but major public intellectuals were on his side worldwide. Victor Hugo sent a letter in support.
Oh I didn't even consider that. I guess I was thinking more of an assassination of a powerful American with a generally positive approval from the public. That's like the one thing Americans usually won't stomach. John Brown "only" took over a military compound

Lol, he hasn't even started a civil war yet.

Literally nothing has happened
People are talking, they're mad, but nothing has happened
We've seen the rubber band get pulled and it's snapping back into place
The real question is whether or not we're going to actually get people to actually learn about why this was an inevitable act
- I thought the Arab Spring taught us that Social Media isn't the be all and end all. Mass media was hyping the Arab Spring as the first "social media revolution", Mubarak was ousted, but the Army took over and then Morsi. Occupy Wall Street was the biggest leftist movement in America, maybe this will ignite something similar, but this time for fucks sakes, don't let another Dem sheepdog like Sanders or AOC lead the masses back to the Dems.
- I could see another one in the next few years. And then another, and another. The conditions are only going to become more likely for them. My worry is we get some neoliberal release valve rather than revolution. There's a lot of clocks ticking right now and none of them are counting down to anything good.
Yet!

i'd argue that unless we get another cool zone entry within the next two weeks or the trial becomes a circus of nullification, then no.

expanding to worldwide events of similar nature, i'd argue that even the doohickey achieved more in japan than the adjustment has in the US so far.

Most is a high bar to reach on any issue. There is definitely a mainstream level of support. I don’t think it is just an echo chamber thing — I have seen the same anti-CEO sentiment across all social media including Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
I'd love to see one of the talking heads go to the cool zone, that'd be pretty dope.

What examples of propaganda of the deed came from those movements?
Civil disobedience, protest, and regular assassinations are not what propaganda of the deed means.
- Tbf as much as I’ve pushed back a bit here and there on the whole overly critical thing some of us have been doing idk if I’d really call what Luigi did propaganda of the deed either
  Edit: like i feel like we’re kinda using that term to mean “general assassination” as you say lately and less what it traditionally meant

id argue there hasnt been any success yet

Yet!

I think we have to be careful to not fall into echo chambers because I really don’t believe that most Americans share our views on this

And the media has been working overtime to convince people there is a “good” and “bad” guy. Don’t forget how the average burger brain works

I talk with a wide range of average burger Americans daily, I have yet to encounter one who says it's a bad thing. People are legitimately hopeful because of it.
Judging by comments on news articles across the political spectrum, there’s at minimum “we don’t feel bad for the CEO but maybe a little bad for his family” to “lol who’s next”
The only real pearl clutching I’m seeing is from mainstream liberals horrified that social murder is finally being met with murder.
Also judging by IRL convo: same sentiments, but more people on the lol who’s next train.

literally no lmao, this is pure online bullshit

No, people are very much on Luigi's side
- doesn't mean they've awakened politically. Most people hate individual pieces of shit without having the political brain to realize they should hate the system too. If a rich bank owner or insurance mogul got shot the reaction would be the same, but that doesn't mean anyone would be more socialist.

Hell no read a history book, we have martyrs

Yeah, we get martyred, but when has an assassination of a powerful American been so well-recieved by the public?
- Sure numerically, this is probably the most popular. Doesn’t seem wrong to say actually

I think the ones done during the militant labor movements of the late 1800s and early 1900s were probably really popular. If I had to guess. I mean strikers were regularly getting murdered by oligarchs.

Perhaps they were but nobody alive today was alive then. This is todays event.
