Social media comments by Tobias Lütke, the right-wing CEO of the Canadian online shopping site Shopify, in which the multi-billionaire attacks universal suffrage have been met with outrage in Canada and internationally.

Lütke declared that voting rights should be stripped from those whom he termed “dependents”—based on their payment of income tax. This would disenfranchise wide swathes of workers on low wages, elderly pensioners, the unemployed, students and the infirm. These proposals were met with support from within the Canadian capitalist oligarchy and international financial elite, including from the fascist Elon Musk.

I really don't think you need to label your jokes when they're that obvious. This board is for taking the piss out of billionaires, there's no realistic chance of anyone thinking you were sincere.

The curse of doing jokes on Lemmy, always having to choose between shitty remarks about not signposting your humour or doing it too much. Nobody's ever been like "haha yes perfect amount of internet laugh track", so when I do bother it's always sarcastically obvious

You're not posting to a general discussion board where there might be some nutter who supports these billionaire parasites, we all know you're mocking them.

Sarcasm tags are a scourge, although not as bad as these miserable money addicts.

Yeah I get it, by taking a side I'm choosing who to piss off. From where I'm standing, whoever gives me shit first earned it.
