Is his martydom trending on “common” social media like TikTok, YT, Facebook, Discord, big podcasts and such?

Lemmy (and even Twitter and Reddit) are rather niche and not necessarily reaching the larger public, aka this pool of working class folk.

It definitely seems to be yeah, given the number of reposted tiktoks I've seen, and the facebook unitedhealthgroup laughing emoji ratio, and all the videos that corporate media are clutching their pearls over. There are tons of comments in Ben Shapiro's videos on the subject that are cheering on the death of a CEO, despite his attempt to paint this as only the "violent left". When Ben Shapiro's viewers disagree with him you know the feeling is widespread lol.

Very interesting.

And some of the “small” news outlets in my feed are starting to sympathetically acknowledge it as well.

I can't speak for all of them, but I can explain the vibes:

  • TikTok/Insta - 100% worshipping Luigi en masse
  • Discord - None of the ones I'm in, though I mostly stick to small friend groups I know IRL. I'd be shocked if there aren't servers praising him as a hero

I can't speak to the rest.

One of the Hoi4 mod servers im on is actively debating making an agent portrait of him. The debate is about historical accuracy not morality.
