Not the biggest fan of eat the rich.

IMO purge the parasites is more accurate.

Eat the rich makes it sound like they are intrinsically more valuable whereas, like parasites, all they do is take value at the expense of the host.

It’s not even a fatal thing, their hoarding is a mental illness that must be addressed for the good of society.

    The problem with purge the parasites is that chuds will assume you mean people on benefits and then agree with you.

    No that’s intentional. The problem with these slogans is that large populations have nuance.

    If you say eat the rich, those chuds would either think your talking about upper middle class people or just reject it cause they can imagine one good rich person.

    Conversely, when it comes to people on benefits, even thought the vast majority don’t abuse the system, the chud’s echo chamber is full of the rare examples that do.

    So the solution is to acknowledge that being a parasite can happen in all walks of life, even though all the negative effects come from the rich ones.
