No no, eat the rich. It's a much wider net that includes the Epstein Class without missing the other bastards. And if we eat a few hypothetically good ones along the way, the good we can do by redistributing their wealth is an end that absolutely justifies the means. Class warfare is still a war, there's gonna be some collateral damage.

Action precedes motivation.

They're not mutually exclusive eh?

And lets be real.. Eat the Rich isn't an actionable thing. Like metaphorically yes. But realistically how do you make it happen?

I'm calling for these people to be tried in front of a court and judicially put to death. This would set a legal precedent for 'Eating the Rich.'

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

No I literally want to take a bite out of a rich person.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

While "eat the rich" is a metaphor, I'm not above a literal interpretation. 250°F for about 12-18 hours depending on how big a bastard we're talking about.

There will never be a legal precedent for eliminating class "eating the rich" as long as the wealthy control the judicial system. The wealthy overwhelmingly use their wealth to influence politics and law, this can be shown simply by looking at the Oval Office.

And no, the answer isn't just vote harder. That will require education which is controlled by, and you may have a hard time believing this, the wealthy. That doesn't mean that there aren't solutions, there are actually probably many solutions. Community action and organization is definitely one piece of the puzzle. Finding ways to educate people outside of the traditional systems (without abandoning empiricism) might be another. But pretending the state that is actively harming you and protecting the "Epstein class" isn't one of them.

to be tried in front of a court

Less chance of happening than simply eating all the rich.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 days ago

That is ridiculous.

The fact that you used the Drake meme to convey this... wildly ironic. But also, yes, maybe this was some kind of secret fedposty gotcha, but unironically: unrepentant ritual child rapists deserve the death penalty.

The fact that you used the Drake meme to convey this

Ya i defs forgot about the drake groomer thing. I don't pay that much to pop music so you'll have to forgive.

[–] howsetheraven@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Just have both be the bottom drake.

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think the first option is the second option but with more inclusion.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

lol pretty much. Albeit the latter is a Judicial Resolution while the former is a popular revolution.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

How about stop using pedos for memes?

Like, fuck Drake too

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Actually good point about drake. I don't listen to pop music so I forget he's a groomer.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, its still eat the rich. If we dont they will pupate into another epstein class. This level of wealth degenerates and harms all.

I know but the meme template usually implies a negative to the top portion, so

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes because eating the rich is vague and more of a slogan than a plan.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait, are we not going to actually eat the rich?? Dang it

We are at least actually using them for compost, right????

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

I mean, I’m definitely getting at least one bite.
