I prefer “eat the rich” as a metaphor for seizing their assets, not a literal endorsement of cannibalism. I’m actually surprised how many people literally mean “kill the rich”. Are you guys actual sociopaths?
I’m actually surprised (not really) how many people can come this close to getting it, but still be so desperate to follow their rules, that you manage to convince yourself billionaires will just freely and willingly give over those assets and all of the power that comes with them one day once we’ve asked nicely enough… 🙄
I don’t think asset seizure going to be easy, but it’s going to be significantly more effective and safer for everyone than staging a new French Revolution.
If you’re truly advocating for murder on the internet (are you?), I don’t think there’s any point in trying to change your mind. I’m not “this close” to getting it — I already got it and rejected it.
Lots of folks here are 100% for violence against anyone they disagree with.
This has absolutely nothing to do with not being able to agree or disagree with others.
The rich are actively killing people with their greed - they always have been. Your comment shows
you have not been paying attention
From 1952 to 1966, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) dumped about 370 million gallons (1,400 million litres) of chromium-tainted wastewater into unlined wastewater spreading ponds around the town of Hinkley, California, located in the Mojave Desert about 120 miles north-northeast of Los Angeles.
The Sackler family is an American family who owned the pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma.
They have been described as the “most evil family in America”, and “the worst drug dealers in history”
One could spend years looking up examples and providing links.
Go read about Rockefeller (the world’s first billionaire) and read about the work conditions
of his oil field employees.
Site wide the general tone is “if they don’t pass the test, kill em”
No contest on the examples you provided. They are horrible.
God damn Lemmy
Edit literally just now a thread about Tesla’s being hard for emergency services to get into, people are replying that the occupants should be left to die.
Yeah, I’ve been finding myself arguing with zealots more and more on Lemmy. This is really not a healthy community. I hope it’s some form of keyboard warrior syndrome and not the way these people behave in the real world.
almost tempted to make an alt account and then post a thread in the politics community titled something like, “planning to k*ll B!ll g@tes; any help would be appreciated” (i would work on the title to make it believable, of course). but you know what would happen; i would get banned. because this whole “k!ll the rich” thing is performative, i.e. misguided virtue signalling. and it’s all very very immature.
Nah, some of us just see that they buy the elections so that we can’t vote for change. And they buy the judges so we can’t sue for change. And they buy the media so we can’t speak for change. So now we’re exploring the extremely distasteful option because all other avenues for change have been blocked

OK why don’t you go kill some billionaires then, instead of just fantasizing about it on the internet? Good luck and godspeed.
I suspect this happens far more than you think. They just have amazing security details.
