    They’re not mutually exclusive eh?

    And lets be real… Eat the Rich isn’t an actionable thing. Like metaphorically yes. But realistically how do you make it happen?

    I’m calling for these people to be tried in front of a court and judicially put to death. This would set a legal precedent for ‘Eating the Rich.’

      While “eat the rich” is a metaphor, I’m not above a literal interpretation. 250°F for about 12-18 hours depending on how big a bastard we’re talking about.

      There will never be a legal precedent for eliminating class “eating the rich” as long as the wealthy control the judicial system. The wealthy overwhelmingly use their wealth to influence politics and law, this can be shown simply by looking at the Oval Office.

      And no, the answer isn’t just vote harder. That will require education which is controlled by, and you may have a hard time believing this, the wealthy. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t solutions, there are actually probably many solutions. Community action and organization is definitely one piece of the puzzle. Finding ways to educate people outside of the traditional systems (without abandoning empiricism) might be another. But pretending the state that is actively harming you and protecting the “Epstein class” isn’t one of them.
