    Okay, in almost any other context, “age is just a number” is a damn good thing. It should not be a thing to be used to justify people needing to work to survive at 70!

    Somebody start the revolution. It’s time to eat the fucking rich. I’ll get the plates.

        This is always better than “eat the rich”. Because everyone means it metaphorically, until some edgy idiot says “duh I mean literally let’s eat them huh huh”, and then any meaningful call to action gets lost.

        IMHO we should build systems outside government control (like Lemmy), but at least slaughtering the rich is something people might realistically do.
