Alright look, I hate the 1% too but can we start using new terms besides “eat the rich” and “haha guillotine go BRRRRRR”?
It gets kinda old when everyone says it.
In this instance, this quote parody wouldn’t make any sense if you didn’t use “eat the rich.”
“Why doesn’t Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?”
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Why doesn’t Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I’m extremely well aware that it wouldn’t work in this quote.
I once again ask why this specific “joke” has to be made?
Because the people who want to eat the rich, usually are the same group that wants to disarm everyone but the gov and rich…
Agenda posts in my shitposting community? Why didn’t I think of that?!
Because when that happens, we just find a new rich class, slightly below the ones we just ate. So they go too… now there is a newest rich class, just below the previous.
And so on, until you’re the new rich class.
In 2020, it took about 25 seconds for Bezos’ net worth to increase by the national annual median income - whether he was working, sleeping, shitting, fucking, or butt-chugging the tears of the employees he’s working to death.
He eared all that for what? Owning shit and stealing the value of peoples’ work. That’s not a job, that’s not of value.
We’re a looooooooooooong way from having to worry about eating regular people.
Meanwhile, the Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates the cost of ending homelessness in the US is $20bn/year. We place more value on Bezos alone having a Scrooge McDuckian money pit than we do on ending homelessness for almost a decade.
Fuck right off with your slippery slope bullshit.
Unironically, equating anything left wing with Marxist socialism even though there could be other forms.
left wing ideas tend to be heavily coupled with progressive social issues that most of the population only agrees with to an extent.
I think we’re going to see a non socialist populist uprising though with multiple different groups. The elites will no doubt try to claim anyone remotely on the right of it is a raging white supremacist as they’re already doing with populist uprisings.
