    I’m greatly amused by the thought of a march that could not be more than 3,028 people.

      I feel like the target audience is “temporarily embarrassed [billionaires]”[1]

      That is, people who are not billionaires, but like to imagine themselves as having the ability to become one.


      [1] the original quote that this is from uses “millionaires” but years of the upwards flow of wealth meant the quote needed some updating.

    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.

    I don’t think these rattle heads, actually plan to march, I think he thinks he will order a march, and all the people currently marching that he sees, love him so much and support his “deserving” lifestyle so much, they’ll all march for him. He’s putting in orders for you to march for him, on his behalf, and he absolutely believes it’ll happen in troves.

      I would march.

      200 bucks an hour I’ll walk around a bit and pretend to give a shit.

      I will also say things that when taken out of context will sound fucking awful and when in context will sound extremely suspicious.

        I would march too, it’s too easy to satire the movement. Signs like “Bill Gates did nothing wrong on Epstein’s Island” or “Peter Thiel is not a vampire” seem like a good fit for the event.

    That would be a shame if during their march they got ambushed with masses of egg throwing counter protesters that pelted them all mercilessly with eggs, and maybe water baloons.

    Can you imagine the size of the counter-demonstration. I really hope this goes ahead.

    The only march where you can be certain if it’s more than 5 people they’re paid protestors.

    Yes, get billionaires into the streets and marching.

    I predict this will do wonders for the compacting roller market.
