I am up for a hate crime
Haha wow he really tried to throw some antisemitism in there too.
“I must say that I consider the phrase tax the rich — […] to be just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs, and even the phrase ‘from the river to the sea,’” Roth said.
I think you get a good peek into the psyche of powerful people when they use inappropriate terms from marginalized communities as a shield against just actions or comments made against them. It implies they see those genuine complaints from minorities as something merely performative - a tool for sympathy, a shield from criticism. It reveals narcissimn and a lack of emparhy.
Israelis are not a marginalized community for the record despite their victim playing, but I take your point.
Fucking genocide the rich I say
Is he implying that he believes “rich = Jewish”? Because if so, how anti-semitic of him.
I have no qualms with working-class Jews.
Likewise, I think all billionaire oligarchs need to be taxed at higher rates. (Currently they’re taxed less than the working class; being compelled to pay your fair share isn’t prejudicial!). Race/ethnicity/religion simply doesn’t factor into it.
From the river to the sea is not antisemitic. In the Palestine before 1947 Jews, Christians and Muslims all lived side by side as neighbors, and none of them had spwcial rights or was threatened.
What that sentence does mean though, is that there would be no jewish apartheid ethnostate that is actively stealing land left and right, and starting wars with people they see as inferior.
Oh I know, that’s just the card he’s trying to play (the same card Israel uses regularly, ‘any support of Palestine = antisemitism’, ‘any criticism of Israel = antisemitism’).
Appreciate your comment though.
Ah, I misunderstood your comment then, it’s true that Israelis try to play that card (quite successfully so).
I’d recommend putting the fake “antisemitism” (because not all anti Zionism is antisemitic) in quotes, to make it more clear.
He really won’t like what people replace ‘tax’ with if they’re not allowed to say “tax the rich.”
“Ax the rich”.
and my ax (to kill rich people with)
Wrong. Tax is real threat for them, anything else – isn’t.

You’re seriously using the exceptional, almost unique, case as an argument?
Brooother this guy is dense. We are proposing to kill/eat the rich in general. Thats obviously more of a threat than taxes.
I actually agree what I think he meant was that the rich would rather be killed than taxed. Maybe it was just phrased poorly
The uber rich didn’t build a bunch of bunkers to protect themselves from…taxes.
Right up until the moment it is.
Everything dies. We literally do not know how to stop this. We’re real good at helping it along though.
collectivization >.<
Wealth inequality is killing quality if life. We would like to put that wealth to productive use through taxation and government investments, but setting it on fire (metaphorically) would still leave the average person better off.
If we can’t tax it or destroy it, then people will be pushed further and further until they have nothing to lose, and after that, things will get ugly.
Well, then you’ll like this even less:
eat the rich
Crikey, that parasite is really going to be really upset about my "guillotine the rich’ policy!!
Though there’s a lot to be said about the “woodchipper the rich” argument…
We need to return to tradition:
Draw and Quarter the Rich.
The rich are universally rich entirely by continually choosing to ignore the plight of the poor and slinging bootstrap condemnations. No identity sustained by evil choosing can be equated with racism.

I wonder how he feels about “eat the rich”.
Fuck him.
Reading this as the Aerosmith song blasts bc my anarchist small child demanded to watch the music video before school right now!
That guy looks like he needs a real good haircut
I can hardly wait for the guillotines to get sharpened up
…I suspect it will come as a surprise to many of the lizard people that they bleed just like us plebes
Except there is waaaaay more of us, and we have had enough of their baby eating and child raping
Baby eating…?
noting you don’t question the child raping
fuk off
The child rape is common knowledge at this point. Not as many people know about the baby eating.
Apparently I angered them greatly. What are they even talking about regarding “baby eating”?
There were a few bits in the Epstein Files about Satanic sacrificing and eating of babies.
You literally didn’t make sense in either comment. You’re mad because I have zero clue what you’re referring to?
I am not mad at you, I don’t give a fig about you
Now the baby eating ,child-raping lizard people, them I’m mad at
Your deleted comment suggests you were mad at me. Thanks for your help
Ps. Are the lizard people in the room with you right now?
The mods deleted it, not me
As I said, I don’t give a fig about you
cheers
I know all that. You still told me to “fuk off” and no one alive would be able to figure out why
Does this make “rich” the new R-word?
Retrobate?
“Don’t call me that, I’m a person of wealth!”
His fellow mega-leech Nick Hanauer has some advice from the before-times
Tax them?
No no no no no.
We’re eating them.
It’s sorta like the opposite of veal:
The more financially bloated, gorged and aged the landlord is… the more succulent the screams.
… I mean flesh.
Anyway, I can’t help it that the traditional method of preparing the dish is a guillotine… its just a traditional thing, very classy imo.
Personally, I like to pair the feast with a gunpowder shot… just an explosive combination of flavors, if you ask me.
There’s no better show of opulence than to take one nibble and throw the rest away because you changed your mind.
I mean you could at least save it as a treat for your cat or dog, but yeah, I’m mostly in it for the screams, the incredulous existential crisis.
That’s no treat, I would never endanger my pets like that.
It seems the rich simply don’t understand that their wealth is only made possible because the masses allow it. And that insane wealth is an imbalance in society that needs to be fixed, both because it is socially unjust, but also because it is undermining democracy.
