The elite must be shitting themselves about how much joy us poors are finding out of this.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago (8 children)

STOP CALLING THEM ELITE.

The word 'elite' implies they are societies best. These rich dregs keep dragging us down.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whenever I hear the rich described as "the elite", my brain immediately converted it to ThE eLiTe

I call them the leech class.

[–] ghen@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meh, the connotation is still clear.

[–] frosch@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How about we just airquote them? The „Elite“ sounds condescending enough imo

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Parasite works for me.

[–] ghen@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah trying to find the perfect words is counterproductive. We just need to eat the rich. We're not literally eating them but everybody knows what that means.

True, if you look at people taking power and control in MAGA America, many are there because of their white skin and not resume or skill

Edit sorry if this comes across as racist, the intent is more to highlight how some of these people bring nothing else to the table

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Scum floats to the top.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They're rent-seeking parasites

If corporations can convince people that Coke is better than Pepsi ... or vice versa ... then it will just take time to make people forget about all this. They can market and promote any idea .... just some ideas are more expensive to promote than others ... and it will take them a lot of time and effort to spin this story in their favour .... but eventually, they always do.

I don't like to admit that people are complacent .... but hell, we've all got a great track record for it ... I hope not this time, but I've been disappointed far too many times before.

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyday we all get up and make capitalism happen. It's up to us to stop making it.

I do my best and buy about half my food from local farmers (and that isn't easy in northern Ontario, especially during winter) ... a bit expensive, but so is buying from the grocery store too, so it works out.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I live in the suburbs so Sprouts is the closest I get to "local". I keep chickens and a garden but most of my food comes from Kroger. It is what it is.

I gotta go to work.

[–] MonkRome@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Every year I grow more food than the previous year. Someday I'm hoping to grow most of my non-meat items and then fork over the money for local organic meat and freeze it.

I also like food, which is why I hate capitalism

(Under capitalism it's profits over people. Profits over feeding people. How could you ever justify food insecurity in a country like the US otherwise?)

I keep scrolling the news to see if they know anything new about him, and they know absolutely nothing. It's amazing.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or at least they have released nothing.

Will people really go there or is this a joke?

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 87 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

They fucking Naruto ran at Area 51... It could happen

[–] Earflap@reddthat.com 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They ran around in a town outside groom lake and never really approached the base because they wisely understood they would all be killed.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

People gathered to take pictures in front of a bunch of cringing guards and no one was angry about anything. Everyone is actually angry over this so I'd say people may show.

The boss move would be for the killer to go there.

Sure would be a shame if people mass produced AI imagery to give false leads...

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Goodness, sure would be a shame if someone told me where I could do that.

The biggest player is a company called EviCore by Evernorth…

Just a letter off from “EvilCore” - could they be any more on-the-nose?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasn’t it Evil Corp in Mr Robot too?

Looks a bit like Will Smith to me.

Or, maybe, Lucy Liu.

Or, maybe, Patrick Stewart.

Or maybe, Elmer Fudd.

Hard to pin to down. Sorry. No, I probably couldn't pick him or her out of a line-up.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

While we have Nick Fuentes under arrest let's charge him with this too.

The backpack is the Everyday Backpack from Peak Design!

I need help identifying the jacket though. I wanna cosplay assassin-kun!

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 6 points 1 year ago

Don't give them any more leads.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin lost in his own a lookalike contest.

[–] b0gl@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is clearly Måns Zelmerlöw

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that's Idina Menzel.

Cops should just puts on sunglasses let it go.
