This thread is gold and you should read it. Killdozer was a mediocre white guy mad about being in a society, and other people's health and safety mattered just as much as his own. So naturally, he flipped out and tried to murder the entire town for grievances entirety made up in his head.
Lady Emily ☄️@ladyemily.nebula.tv · 4d agoIt's wild that there are people still adamant that the Killdozer guy was some poor folk hero sticking it to The Man when the guy left Bioshock audio logs going "God put me on this earth to make a Killdozer and shoot people because the government wanted to put a septic tank on my land free of charge"

Yes, this is what I want my taxes to be used for, not letting #conservatives rape and/or explode children. If you're mad about subsidies on food, wait until you hear how propped up meat, dairy, and gasoline are in this cackhole...

This cat gets it. Protesting the vote is allowing your oppressors to win.

But they never think about the other side. By showing up to vote in numbers too big to ignore, they could shift demographics and become a bloc worth catering to.
