    See… people always talk about eating the rich. I’m not convinced they will taste good or that it’s worth the time and the fuel to cook them.

    We really need to add a B to the beginning of that phrase. Beat the rich. Over and over again. With huge clubs.

      Eating them isn’t about nutrition or taste; It’s about sending a message. Eat a few of them publicly, slowly, and starting at the feet while keeping them alive. Prove it can be done, and that we’re willing to do it. The rest of them will get the message, and straighten out real fucking quick.

      The ultimate goal is the redistribution of wealth. Simply beating a billionaire or two isn’t going to accomplish that. No amount of public beating will be brutal enough, because it’s just violence. At a certain point, it’s just your stock standard gore-porn horror movie footage, which we’ve all seen a hundred times. Billionaires can ignore it, because once the initial rage subsides they can run some astroturfed PR campaigns and get back into peoples’ good graces.

      Eating them though? That’s a powerful message, because it goes beyond simple anger. It’s violence with intent and purpose behind it. It’s violence fueled not by rage, but by contempt and dehumanization. It’s saying “we don’t even see you as people anymore. You’re nothing to us but prey. A starving dog is loyal to nobody but itself, and you’ve kept us hungry for far too long.”

      They are plump, well fed and have been massaged daily.

      People pay through their nose for those things with cows.
