Now now, come on, there's at least about 3000 of those fuckers, let's not let some of the greedy cunts get away with it!

    In most murder mysteries happening at resorts, it's usually the guests who are murdered and never the help.

    Luigi did and many are reaching that point as well. We just have to support them.

  • Or maybe public support and perception is important and planning as well. The reason the UHC CEO getting whacked was applauded was people were tired of being dicked around with healthcare and knew through experience how terrible it is.

    Edit: Yall be thinking he just found him and clapped him as well. I bet you whoever did was following him to know his schedule and the best time to do so. It wasn't spontaneous, get your head out of Hollywood movies and thinking.

    A bit over 3000 billionaires, and many more with hundreds of millions. But, yeah, this is the jist of it at the moment. We've agreed to work all of our lives to support them abusing us.

    Hurting them or their vile kin would be unconscionable though. We must let millions die of preventable illness every year for their benefit instead. It's the only civilized thing to do.

    Ok, Trolley problem: pull the lever to kill 3000 people, or let the trolley run over 8.4 billion people.

  • Put an unmarked unmapped minefield around the lever, poison the region with forever chemicals that will be dling reproductive harm for 50000 years, and wait across the street with a rifle to make an example of anyone who tries to pull the lever, shooting them in the leg, cutting their stonachs open til their guts spill out, and letting their screams warn others. Anything else would be immoral abd uncivilized and make me a meanie.

    Yeah, the tens of millions of capitalists and small business owners who rely on exploitation and don't think twice about their workers losing fingers if it were to get their profit rates up are the true victims here.... 🥀

    I'm so sick of the lack of petit bourgeois representation in memes 😔

    The dogshit billionaire narrative is very much petty bourgeois, they got plenty of representation already

    The "eat the rich" aka hyperfixation on billionaires narrative as seen in the post. Turns the problem into some moral "some people accumulated too much" rather than being about social relations which doesn't threaten anything, it automatically implies that workers + small and medium capital are somehow on the same side, and if the narrative had its way and billionaires started to get taxed (before adopting tax avoidance methods like family owned NGO's) or somehow got removed in other ways, the newly freed minuscule market space would only benefit the smaller capital, as now they can temporarily take over before the capital's tendency to centralize kicks in once more. Therefore, it's petty bourgeois at best.

    Unless this has some new meaning due to Epstein or something, in which case yeah mb, I don't really keep up with The Discourse™ for my own sanity

    Ah okay, I understand- we agree on this

    Tbc, I was just making a joke along the same lines as gen x being left out of the discourse between millennials and boomers

    But by representation in memes, I meant being directly called out in memes. I agree that the focus on "eat the rich" over "seize the means of production" can be bad, and overlooking the petty bourgeois can have problematic implications

    It was a bit of a tongue in cheek thing as well though bc I belong to the petty bourgeois (although I don't own capital or employ others)

    I think it is well understood that the petite bourgeoisie are on the side of capital, not because they are capitalists, but because they are confused with respect to their own class identity. Incidentally, this is why we say eat the rich and exterminate billionaires: to avoid further confusion.

    As a former resort employee that's actually a pretty good comparison, we occasionally get to enjoy the amenities and etc, but housing's a bitch and you frequently get the impression you're being looked down upon.

    It almost feels like something Douglas Adams would say
