I like the two-prong approach to civil rights. It gives a carrot-and-stick incentive to our oppressors. If you pay attention and give us what we want when we ask nicely, the other wing of the movement won’t hunt you down like the vampires you are.

Luigi’s method is what’s needed and inevitable when the rich and their pet politicians stop Mario from fixing things the polite way for long enough.

The only reason why we have worker rights is because communist scared the shit out of FDR.
So it’s fully reasonable to condone the Luigi method but support their desire to make positive change.

MLK & Malcolm X style
Exactly. Neither of them were wrong. They were both right, and they were both necessary.
