That's literally the problem, you're literally calling for violence.
yeah! we can find historical evidence for other ways we've overcome Nazis before!
.. wait
It’s a good thing Brian Thompson wasn’t a Nazi then, now isn’t it?
In WW2, the Allies defeated nazi germany by having peace talks, right? Right?
(/s in case the sarcasm isn't obvious enough 🙄)

I think killing Elon Musk isn't going to solve anything but either way I don't care about calling for violence against him. I only care about making the name Luigi and the game character dog whistles. Let's not turn random people and the game character into the next Pepe.
Fascists coopting a meme to spread racism and overall bigotry is not at all the same as leftists using Luigi as a dog whistle to signal violence towards oppressors. Its like equating the far right and the far left. The far left want equality for all, and the far right want to fucking commit genocide. They are not equivocal at all.
Bold of people to call Brian Thompson, and by extension anyone who leans politically towards money, oppressors.
In my whole adult life, on either side of the political spectrum, I haven't seen any major figure in power in the US ever imply anything about wanting to commit genocide.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - JFK
Go right on ahead and achieve a peaceful revolution to abate the suffering of the masses at the hands of malicious powers. A great many are waiting.
Luigi didn't even try anything peaceful, so that's not a good excuse for him.
And…?
...and you question the circumspection exercised in the past few days?
