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

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 60 points 3 months 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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Well yes, but the organizers were never going to do that.

We'll have him for dinner too.

He can finally meet Charlie in Valhalla.

[–] Puddinghelmet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Will they send the butlers and maids in their place?

[–] Hackworth@piefed.ca 25 points 3 months ago

The billionaires will teleoperate robots for the march.

[–] HetareKing@piefed.social 40 points 3 months ago

“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 38 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

Still would be the symbolic gesture they deserve

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 months ago

It’s all those ceos of saas companies thiel fucked sent to do it

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What if we rage on behalf of the machine?

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I liked RATM before they became all woke and political!

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This still makes me cackle every time I see it

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 26 points 3 months 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.

[–] ScrambledEggs@lazysoci.al 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

It really should be. 😂

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Imagine if you put them all on an island!

[–] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We just had that #EpsteinFiles

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

(that's the joke)

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Atherton California. Look it up.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Red_October@piefed.world 19 points 3 months ago

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

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 months ago

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

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 3 months ago

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

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lioffproxy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Be such a shame if a mass shooting happened that day

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago
[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

🤔

[–] III@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

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

-This guy maybe?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 8 points 3 months ago

Oh it's definitely a joke, dude.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

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

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[–] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago

It's february though!

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.
