Since they're marching, they should get at least one billionaire right? One tasty billionaire, Doughnut!!

Good to know so many will be in one place at the same time...

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 61 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's supposed to be a march for billionaires. I doubt many will show up themselves. The people marching will mostly be bootlickers.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

..so the rally should really be called "Simp for Billionaires.."

He can finally meet Charlie in Valhalla.

Will they send the butlers and maids in their place?

[–] Hackworth@piefed.ca 26 points 1 week ago

The billionaires will teleoperate robots for the march.

“Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive.”

Certainly, in the same way that failing to catch a bank robber and allowing them to skip town is expensive.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m proposing a march for guillotines on the same day

[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Could be at the same place, same time!

Most likely the participants will be poor astroturfers sent on behalf of the billiodogs.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Still would be the symbolic gesture they deserve

What if we rage on behalf of the machine?

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I liked RATM before they became all woke and political!

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This still makes me cackle every time I see it

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's one of the follow-ups that sends me.

"What machine did you think they were raging against? A dishwasher?"

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

Does anyone know where to sign up for all these paid protesting gigs? Because I can't imagine a sane person going to this one voluntarily.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

I hear there's also a Luigi March happening at the same time same place.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Can you imagine? So many billionaires all in one public place?

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Imagine if you put them all on an island!

[–] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We just had that #EpsteinFiles

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

(that's the joke)

It really should be. 😂

All I am hearing in this post is that there is at least 200 billion dollars just waiting to be liberated.

[–] Red_October@piefed.world 21 points 1 week ago

My lawyer suggests I not comment on what can be done with this.

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 week ago

Wow, that article is fucking brutal to read. Hope the organizer falls in the shower.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How long has it been since someone was tarred and feathered?

[–] Lioffproxy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Be such a shame if a mass shooting happened that day

Guys, it's an ai startup trying to ragebait you for free media coverage. You can stop posting about it.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

So, if this is indeed trying to be legit, what is stopping people from just co-opting the event as an act of protest against billionaires anyways?

[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought California taxes were REALLY BAD and everyone HATES it there???

🤔

[–] III@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

What psychopath would try to lure pure, innocent and very important billionaires in the warzone that is California? Don't they know we would be lost without their genius and greatness?...

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 9 points 1 week ago

"Greetings from California Oblast my fellow Americans! Billionaires are great amirite?"

-This guy maybe?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Watch them hire a bunch of people to protest for them.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

[–] epicthundercat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They are probably all pedos, too. Someone should check their Internet history.

[–] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

It's february though!

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It's going on now, I'd kill for a livestream...

LA Times article

SAN FRANCISCO — As California struggles with homelessness and healthcare cuts, some activists are taking on an unexpected cause: fighting for billionaires.

About a dozen people took part in the “March for Billionaires” on Saturday morning in San Francisco to raise awareness about the plight of the ultrarich. Although some assumed the event was satire, organizer Derik Kauffman said it was a sincere protest against a potential new tax on the state’s wealthiest residents.

And 10-20 to people showed up to actually protest.

Every healthy society needs a robust guillotine maintenance and repair workforce.
