Someone's gonna lose their job for telling the truth.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (5 children)

IIRC Robin Hood never killed anyone, and Luigi didn't steal anything or give anything away...

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah but he's sexy as fuck in green

[–] Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 49 points 3 days ago

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

In fairness, Luigi is sexy as fuck in any color. :)

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He really is terribly good looking.

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

No homo but if he smiled at me I'd grow ovaries.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 4 points 3 days ago

If you did, then it wouldn’t be homo and you could totally fuck nohomonessly. Hot right? I’d watch.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

How would a bot grow ovaries?

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 39 points 3 days ago

There's not really a single robin hood canon, some versions of him are quite violent, others he avoids killing. All depends on who was telling the story and when.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 21 points 3 days ago

He stole our hearts

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The earliest tales of Robin Hood had him brutally murdering people for kind of no reason.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No it was more like "Dude's daughter rebuffed my marriage proposal, so I beheaded him."

[–] Iapar@feddit.org 28 points 3 days ago (2 children)

"Robin hood and the beheaded bitch"

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

mum used to read that to me before bed as a kid

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Omg I laughed so hard I choked. Thank you.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Luigi made a bigger impact :)

[–] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 55 points 3 days ago

He's a hero.

Less Robin Hood. More John Brown.

I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

~ Charlestown, Virginia Dec 2, 1859

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

Fuckin John Brown. The hero we need.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And we still screwed it up and let the south keep slavery for 100 years just changing the name to Jim Crow.

And now they've finally won their civil war, segregation academies are coming back and everything .

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

We still have slavery today it's called "private prisons"

Hell yeah dude.

Robin Hood only took money from the rich. Luigi took life (allegedly), and scared the other rich folks enough to allow some life (healthcare) for the plebs for some short time.

Accurate. And we need a great deal more robin hoods

[–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why do they put him in that bullet proof vest? To protect him from the police? Haha

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

He needs to be assassinated, it's their only hope of maintaining terror.

If he gets through a trial the chances of a hung jury are pretty high, and that's proof the system isn't invincible.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 18 points 3 days ago

The elite should rightly be terrified, and the only outcome that protects them is to drop the illusion of equality and create “green zones” where they are safe, like in other third world countries.

[–] shan23@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

The more they try and suppress him the more of a hero he appears

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

There is no lie.

[–] danny801@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago

efforts from individuals and groups to collect the home addresses of C-Suite executives in order to conduct second amendment protected activities

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't think whoever did that knows the first thing about Robin Hood...

[–] Iapar@feddit.org 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You don't talk about robin hood?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] dvlsg@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

But I can't help it! He's just so... Foxy.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a shame that the CEO is dead because he doesn't even get to know why he was murdered. He was just walking then dead. No time to think about what he did

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

They've all internalized the rot. They think they do no wrong.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Trump is a john but he's not a king, whatever he believes.
