        If there are copycats, it still needs to be shown that it actually is effective in terms of political change. Likewise, if change does happen in the near future, it would be unclear whether it was already in the course of its own development with or without Luigi

      I dunno, I want to see if it continues past the next week or two. There have been a decent number of times where it felt like there was some meaningful change coming and then people just forgot about it.
