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.
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.
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.
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.
Is eat the rich generally a call for violence? I actually don’t really know what people mean when they say this.
French revolution, Jean-Jacques Rousseau supposedly said “When the poor have nothing to eat, they will eat the rich.”

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.

Yep. It’s kinda dismaying how many people either don’t understand that or don’t want to understand that.
It has always been a threat / call to violence and anyone saying otherwise is trying to justify it / soften the meaning.

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.
For now. Internationally, that phrase has been around for much longer than that, and I think it will be around for a lot longer.
