I've never understood how cannibalism went this viral. The head of the UAW union was wearing a pro-cannibalism shirt at the strikes! Mystifying.

    I don't know if you're serious, but in case you are, "eat the rich" isn't supposed to literally mean "eat the rich".

    It's more of a metaphor, taking their wealth, "eating what they have", so to say.

    There has to be a mod rule against reading things in the most bad faith way.

    If an overt call to carve up and eat billionaires is needed, I am most happy to supply my own personal philosophy, that I am vegan except if I get to eat the rich (literally).

    Not everyone is aware of what is going on or is neural typical. It's impossible to tell the good faith actors from the bad faith ones. It's in our best interest to pretend that they're just inundated with propaganda and need a little help.

    "eat the rich" directly relates back to the French revolution, a la the whole "let them eat cake" thing. No one ACTUALLY wants to consume the flesh of wealthy humans. But when we're out of bread and the rich say, "well why don't you just eat cake?" Then we instead say how about we satisfy ourselves with you, instead.
