Because they’re too busy hating each other over whose great grandparents oppressed who or who the other voted for.
So the other side votes for politicians who directly make the rich richer, and you think we should stop bickering so that they’ll join us in eating the rich? Something tells me this plan might hit a snag.
Sorry, you think both sides don’t make the rich richer?? Lol, at least one side is honest about it. Lots of conservatives are blue-collar workers. Youre basically saying you refuse to join up because they won’t vote for making the rich richer they way you prefer.
Because cannibalism is wrong
I think they left off the letter B at the beginning. It makes much more sense to me that way.
Best argument so far!
They would taste horribly. Let’s just decapitate them and use as compost. Then they would be of some actual use.
I bet the gold tickets make them taste horrible
The French did that just fine. Look at where they are today.
The wealth inequality in America today is worse than France pre-revolution.
We are long overdue, bring out the guillotines
Fact check? Really curious if this is true
It should about right, but the French revolution was generally speaking not about income inequality. The women’s march on Versailles is the most economic influenced part of the revolution that I can think of. That was primarily about not having enough food.
The parts of the revolution that we like to think of as being “the” revolution were mostly about getting basic human rights. The two most important treaties were “the rights of man” which is about… well, the rights of man, and “what is the third estate” which is about the importance of the peasant classes to the nation and their lack of political power in relation to it.
As for the major events: The storming of the Bastille was about political prisoners (ironically there were none in the Bastille at the time). The tennis court oath was about voting by head rather than by acre. The sans culottes, the girondins, and the mountain were all about giving the people more of a voice. The murder of Louie was a direct response to the flight to varennes, and the terror was just the mountain losing it’s grasp on political control and doing whatever it took to keep it. Even the guillotine itself was designed to give peasant criminals a clean death. Before it was invented nobles would be put to the sword but peasants would be hanged.
Everything I’ve just said is personal opinion, but my source for all of it is season 3 of Revolutions by Mike Duncan
Well thanks for all this great info! Interesting how most things in history we boil down too simple things.
Mmmm rich people
For the same reason that some foreign workers are able to immigrate to a country and are so successful they end up in the 0.1%
Hollup, let him cook
Because the people who want to eat the rich, usually are the same group that wants to disarm everyone but the gov and rich…
Who said they don’t want to disarm the government and the rich?
Lol you’ve gotta be either dumb or naive as fuck to think that.
We tried that, but money seems to prefer the company of other money, and is better at organizing than people.
Sounds like the money should be eaten

It always bothers me on labor day when I see stores open. I work at a desk 4 out of 5 days a week that is the extent of my “labor” and yet I get a day off.
Unironically, equating anything left wing with Marxist socialism even though there could be other forms.
left wing ideas tend to be heavily coupled with progressive social issues that most of the population only agrees with to an extent.
I think we’re going to see a non socialist populist uprising though with multiple different groups. The elites will no doubt try to claim anyone remotely on the right of it is a raging white supremacist as they’re already doing with populist uprisings.
Gritty agrees.
Ranger fan, but I’d follow Gritty into the war against the rich.
Bruins fan, so would I. Hell I even own a Flyers jersey, there’re just too cool, and I’ll wear it into battle with him.
Not a hockey fan at all and so would I 🫡✊️
Maybe they’re saving it for sweeps.
I wouldn’t want to eat beef from a cow treated with steroids or one with mad cow disease or an old cow minutes from death, so why would I want to eat Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, or Warren Buffett?
Even if you don’t want to eat them, you can still help prepare the feast
Why does SpaceX sell an onion holder
Tough ass meat ngl
If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it
George Orwell: Hey Karl can I copy your homework?
Karl Marx: Sure just change it enough so it doesn’t look like you copied it.
George Orwell writing 1984:
I think you need to read 1984 a little more carefully. There’re a few critical details you appear to have missed, but don’t feel bad; a lot of readers make similar mistakes.
I didn’t know that Karl Marx invented the concept of revolution, neat!
more like Orwell and Yevgeni Zamyatin
Man, I am a big 1984 fan boy but reading We really took some of the wind out of my Orwell sails.
You go first, we’ll follow yeah?
… Surely, sooner or later, it will occur to me to do it?
Literally the point of the quote…
Because they can’t organize in the right way
Because the owning class works tirelessly to keep segments of the working class fighting against each other, in America our important arguments are over whether a green m&m is sexy or why does the potato head toy have to have a gender.
It’s absolutely ridiculous…
Because the organizer most of the time will themselves be the elite class. And if not them, the next generation will
I remember in the 80s how often the FBI got in shit by sending in agents under cover to flirt and bang all the chicks. Many got pregnant. The goal was to get information at the start. But eventually turned into subterfuge of the groups to direct them to do such radical shit they couldn’t grow and become actual threats. I can’t imagine the shit they get up to now. I assume any group big enough to get attention isn’t natural
