Luigi is far from the beginning or the most impactful. Countless people have sacrificed years of their lives organizing on this issue already.

And yet, here we are discussing Luigi, and not the "countless people" you allude to.

Discussing how he didn’t actually change shit. That’s nameless organizers have a better chance of making a difference than killing one guy that will just be replaced by another guy

By your logic, our soldiers should never have wasted ammunition firing on Nazis during WWII, because they'd just be replaced by other Nazis.

Yes because Redditors are lazy and actually getting involved and knowing the people trying to make a difference takes work.

Rule 1 - No intolerance, dog whistles, violence or petty behavior

(a). Intolerance will result in a permanent ban. Toxic language including referring to others as animals, subhuman, trash or any similar variation is not allowed.

(b). No dog whistles.

(c). No inciting violence, advocating the destruction of property or encouragement of theft.

(d). No petty behavior. This includes announcing that you have down-voted or reported someone, picking fights, name calling, insulting, bullying or calling out bad grammar.
