It's amazing how lacking an understanding of materialism fails to hold powerful people accountable. Surely no theorists warned about conflating reduced harm with harm-reduction.
Politicians can just not harm. Them reducing the harm they do isn't a good thing.
Anyway, that was a fun thread.
Fun fact, Nimrod was a character in the Torah renowned for his hunting skill, so when Bugs Bunny referred to Elmer Fudd as a Nimrod it was an ironic reference. The American public didn't catch the allusion, and so instead it became synonymous with "idiot" or "oaf."
Anyway the anvil will just cause a five inch lump on his head that he'll hammer back in with his fist and'll be right as rain, doesn't even need a doctor visit, so no harm done in the first place, really.

Oh, that part is also not a joke. Nimrod was a pretty common playground insult when I was a kid (probably less so now but idk what invectives kids these days have coined so maybe it's still around). Americans do not truck with their own holy texts unless they're passing them out on street corners.
I remember my mom scolding me for calling my brother nimrod because I didn't get the joke and thought it was just an insult.
Yeah, Bugs gave some pretty subtle roasts
