everybody jokingly says eat the rich but i happen to mean it

[–] SinningStromgald 11 points 9 months ago

I never joke about eating the rich.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What makes you think anyone is joking?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

the lack of burping from the middle class

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They probably taste horrible, but if we all eat our share then it won't be too big of an issue.

Business idea: start selling billionaire sauce. Slogan: for when you have to eat the rich.

They're familiar with the phrase. That's why they have so much security detail.

One of these, though, one of them is going to slip up and be in the wrong place and the wrong time. Then it is only natural that they are killed.

I know we're not supposed to incite violence on this platform. What I'm talking about is simply an historical cycle and it will inevitably happen.

No, the more likely scenario is that one group of them convinces a bunch of useful idiots to kill their peers that make slightly more creating a brain drain and destroying the host country while the actual billionaires jump ship like rats.

the message needs to spread across the globe so there's no safe place for them. that's what the internet was supposed to do - connect all the people.

where in the fuck can we incite violence then? we need to be inciting some violence before the violence is incited upon us.

I'd rather mulch mine, but same.

no, instead space billionaires. first of all any given person is rich when compared to a poor enough person. moreover spacing is much more fun.
