Don’t eat shit.
Mulch the rich.
Digest the oligarchs
Consume those who hoard disgustingly large amounts of wealth.
Advocate for antivax bullshit that kills people? Sure! Encourage politicians to stop live-saving cancer research, gut the VA, and reduce safety standards that will have more people suffering? Cool beans!
Oh, you don’t like that and want to voice your opinion? GFY
Apparently, writing an inspiring post about taking action and ways to protest was just too much for the delicate sensibilities of the internet overlords. I was banned for “inciting violence.”
Who knew that encouraging people to stand up for what they believe in was such a radical concept?
My country is about to strap a guy to a chair and have 3 government employees fire a gun at him. And that’s fine.
Ugh…
What?
Assuming this is America, that guy requested for that to happen because it’s a less excruciating death than the other chair.
But here’s why it’s still an issue: being shot should not be the most humane option we give someone lmfao
There has been serious doubt that painkillers in lethal injection were enough to work. But the death penalty should be off the table since so many are wrongly convinced, unless the convicted requests it as the more humane option, because prison is currently retributive and cruel, rather than rehabilitative and humane.
Fun fact this is also against .world’s tos.
.world is literally just Reddit.
By all means, eat the rich, but cook it well done, it’s full of brain worms and ketamine and other vile stuff you probably shouldn’t be eating.
Probably a lot of heavy metals and other toxins too
You’re hilarious. You can eat as many rich people as you can trap on .world
Is it? I think I’ve seen on some .world communities a few times
It’s not. The OP is a tankie and .world is too reasonable for them.
I just saw [email protected] in another comment so I guess it’s allowed ha ha
As far as i know, there used to be a rule against that that was applied to people praising luigi, but not to people who said to kill all billionaires. I think it got removed or replaced now since i couldnt find it.
It wasn’t a rule, there was just ambiguity on whether talking about jury nullification for Luigi’s trial fell under advocating for violence, which led to some confusion (they later clarified that talking about it in terms of encouraging future crimes still counts as advocating for violence, but if the crime already happened or if it’s non-specific it’s all good, afaik).
Please stop lying to the newcomers or else I have to post pictures of Putin giving head to Jinping.
You mean reddit.world?
Is eat the rich generally a call for violence? I actually don’t really know what people mean when they say this.
If we let the rich continue as they have been doing, then we’ll be forced to either all starve to death or sustain ourselves on the only meat available.
French revolution, Jean-Jacques Rousseau supposedly said “When the poor have nothing to eat, they will eat the rich.”
it is a slogan calling for an eradication of the extremely influential and powerful, to redistribute their wealth and return it to those whom it was stolen from.
When you say eradicate, as in remove their station in society or actually kill those people?
i would personally like to see a trial held similar to Nuremberg, these people need to have their crimes vocalised.
Thanks for your opinion. I think different people have different meanings when they use this phrase.
that is the left in a nutshell lol
Lol if there’s no answer it’s also an answer. So do what you will.
Also, I don’t believe vague calls for violence like this are even illegal in the US. Has to be something specific and actionable.
To be fair, you’re still presuming the “old system/rules” holds true for you. Did you see the “campus protest” EO, for example? Not a huge leap to arresting anything they deem illegal.
Also, I don’t believe vague calls for violence like this are even illegal in the US. Has to be something specific and actionable.
Yep. It’s kinda dismaying how many people either don’t understand that or don’t want to understand that.
Well when I’m saying it, I’m saying we should cut their heads off.
Well then that’s probably a violation of Reddit policy. And some Lemmy instance rules.
Which was your goal in asking.
Nah I was just curious how people mean it. I don’t give a shit about the rules.
I’ve always viewed it as a call to repurpose the resources currently hoarded by the rich.
I think Reddit is just pretending to interpret it as incitement to cannibalism.
I agree, except that it looks a lot different now after Luigi.
It has always been a threat / call to violence and anyone saying otherwise is trying to justify it / soften the meaning.
Why would I say otherwise to justify? And regarding the softening, that’s no problem some meat tenderizer won’t solve, It’s not that you have to be rich, you know. Handing over the loot is not too much to ask, seriously. If you can’t find the irony in there, you might want to watch the same titled movie from the 1980s. I doubt you’ll like it.
Sometimes though you like to splurge on a flight of the rich from all over the world!
masticate the unpoors
A borning dystopia indeed.
If you thought Reddit was anything but on the side of Elon, Thiel, and the Nazi plutocrats, you haven’t been paying attention. And it will get worse and worse as time goes on.
They’re trying to control the conversation to the point that the Overton Window embraces open fascism, and it’s working.
Why would they be against thiel? He was an early investor back in 2014 when Altman got involved
Take this as a very good sign. They are afraid of implications of spreading this discourse. Go forth widely and proclaim it: “eat the rich”.
But in all seriousness let’s not loose the momentum. Online or offline we need to continue to push this narrative against capital, corruption, and genocide.
Why do you think we’re here? Reddit is dying
Why do you think we’re here?
I think that depends largely on somebody’s “join” date. If they’re under 6 months old, they probably got banned/censored from Reddit. If they joined in the last 6-12 months, it’s probably because of Reddit’s AI policies. If they joined 12-18 months ago, it was probably due to the API changes shutting down third-party apps. If they’re older than that, then they’re probably just tankies.
Some of us just like Linux.
seeing all this fresh meat… so many future linux enjoyers hehe
API changes for me bruh
I get your point but I left reddit & joined the lemmyverse just a week ago, and did not get banned/censored.
I just felt that a ton of small niggles both technical and content-/moderation-wise had accumulated towards a tipping point.
I have used old.reddit for the longest time and there’s always been some glitches (…). There seem to be delays, and they’re getting longer. Whether this is just old.reddit or in general, I do not care.
There are other indicators that reddit isn’t interested in keeping old.reddit working. It’s just a question of time.
Then there’s bots, including wetware bots. Whether they’re just re-posting to farm karma or actively flooding certain topics with vile opinion or - after a noticeable delay that has nothing to do with timezones - tip the up/downvote balance in their favor: they are here, and it’s not getting better.
i joined lemmy today because i deleted reddit during the API purge and just replaced it with RSS feeds of news orgs before finally digging in to trying this out. and this was literally one of the first comments i saw. incredibly ironic and very hilarious
If they’re older than that, then they’re probably just tankies.
hey now, some of us are FOSS greybeards
Joke’s on you, I’m on my third account.
(Defunct instance, left due to mods, now here.)
Very true, in fact I forgot that I’m on my second account, myself (RIP, kbin.social).
I also started on kbin, better default web interface by far. But the call of Voyager’s echoes of Apollo was strong.
Happy cake day!
Total coincidence, I swear lol.
Wow. Back when I lived there, I never would have expected that I wouldn’t be able to say eat the rich.
remember r/antiwork?
they spend good energy trying to discredit that sub genre…
it did not work…
then Luigi
they getting worried about their psyops not working on these key issues.
Plebs’ resentment is getting to strong that PR don’t work and this is making the parasite nervus.
Good, fuck them, they should not feel comfortable living among us. You can’t expect to ruin people’s lives and then be the good guy.
Pepperidge farms remembers.
Ya, I member!
Fuck Reddit’s bootlickers?
Consume the upper class? Vore the bourgeois?
Vore
Was gonna say, pretty lame of reddit to ban vore content.
They actually did that since I left?
I commented supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods - an economic protest and it got removed by Reddit admins for “glorifying violence”
I don’t think you understand that assualt on the parasites’ class profits is in fact violence under the regime they’ve created for us.
once that clicks, a lot more shit about how we are ruled will make sense lol
Ill glorify violence alright. Fucking Red-dick.
As if policing upvotes wasn’t bad enough, this is just… gross. Yeah, fuck reddit.
A while ago as a test I literally just typed “guillotine” without context or anything. Perma banned my 5 year old account.
Yeah, well a few years ago you got banned for saying “groomer”.
Don’t you know, it’s considered violence to use economics against the rich, that’s only allowed against the poors
Denying a parasite the engagement and profit is the direct action everyone can partake in today…

Sometimes it’s not even direct violence, redlining is sufficient to keep you stuck where they want you to be

The comments in this thread remind me of something, I forget the original medium, but it was about fairy tales.
Paraphrasing, it spoke about how people passed along fairy tales, not because of our belief in dragons existing, but to reassure us that dragons can be defeated.
Also I recommend everyone watch, or rewatch, V for Vendetta. Many may suggest reading it, which is absolutely as valid. However, as a fan of movies, Hugo Weaving’s performance is in a league of it’s own.
The original long-winded quote is from GK Chesterton, but the shorter, neater quotable one is from Terry Pratchett, or more recently Neil Gaiman.
Compost the affluent
Your submission was removed as it advocates violence against either a specific person or a group of people. This rule includes thinly-veiled threats, or slogans such as “Eat the Rich”. This is against Lemmy’s terms of service. (/s)
Straight to gitmo. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200$.
they are keeping it around for a reason…
The fact that “affluent” and “effluent” are basically the same word can’t be coincidence
Gobble the gaudy
That sounds more like a sexy time activity than a parasite cleansing activity
Vore the venerable
