On a side note: Amazon is fucking complicit as fuck with this administration. Bezos made this happen. When this is over, and soon enough it will be, we CANNOT forget the roles that billionaires (and especially certain billionaires) have played in all this.

These billionaires need to be stripped of their wealth and jailed for life as far as I'm concerned. They are traitors to the country, and they happily sold out the entire population to a maniac dictator wannabe just to earn an extra buck

They should be fucking hanging from trees as an example to others.

NO MORE MILLIONAIRES, NO MORE BILLIONAIRES

I want a word wide hard wealth cap. You worth over a million? All the rest of your income goes 100% to taxes until you're below again

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

must remain in seats for the entirety of the film

Yeah that is a deal breaker for me, unless I can put up my noise cancelling headphones and what's a good movie on my phone while that shit is playing

[–] AuroraZzz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Lol. Rich are paying people to prop up her shitty movie, then writing it off as a tax deduction

[–] Red_October@piefed.world 12 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

There are the same people who accuse every protest of being full of paid protestors.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

Every accusation is an admission

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair posts like this are impossible to verify

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

They are not, you can verify the ad exists on craigslist, and then you can verify with people that answered the ad. The president did this with a bunch of his rallies, and they talked to a lot of the people that did it.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 hours ago

it's the only way they can imagine neighbors talking to each other on friendly terms because it's how they operate.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 hours ago

pay me up front, and i'll go. i have a sleeping mask, and good noise canceling headphones.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

When Republicans say that libs are paying people to show up at protests...

...it's projection

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 hours ago

Am I being paranoid or people actually think this is real and not satire or a joke?

[–] grumpo_potamus@lemmy.world 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Doesn't specify which way you have to be facing while seated.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Or wearing noise cancelling headphones with a tablet watching or reading what you actually want to.

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

That's a 50 dolar discount on a vr headset

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Or standing up the entire time and just having a chat. Or holding a sign. Etc.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 4 points 9 hours ago

standing up the entire time

Well it does specify to remain in seats

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 38 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Release the Epstein files, and I’ll go see it for free.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

The unredacted (except victim names), complete Epstein files.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

Given that the president is the ultimate victim and his pals are doing the redacting, that will not help.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 12 points 14 hours ago

Most of the victims have gone public and said they don't even care about redacting their names, they just want the files made public.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 41 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

It's not priceless, you have to sit thru at least an hour of bullshit...

But $50 if $50. I'm sure a shit ton of people are at least trying to get the money up front and then go. Hopefully no one is dumb enough to believe they'd pay after, but a sucker's born every minute

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm curious how they would know if you actually attended or not. Like get paid upfront, and leave.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 24 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

We're talking about people that are pathologicaly dishonest, so yeah. Either get paid up front or you're not getting paid. Don't waste your time.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 5 points 16 hours ago

I'd just be on my phone the whole time.

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 17 points 16 hours ago

Send a bunch of homeless people.

[–] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Do you still get the $50 if you roast the movie at the top of your voice?

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 37 points 17 hours ago

You're not going to get the money no matter what. See that bit where it says you have to stay in your seat the whole time? That means they are going to pay you afterwards. Everyone knows, or should know, that with Trump, you need to get your money up front or you won't get it at all.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 8 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

See, I'd get a group of friends together and just go to loudly make fun of and criticize the film the whole way through if it's that unpopular. If you know nobody is there because they actually want to see it, then it's not like you're disturbing anyone's experience. And if you are, it's probably someone who deserves it.

Smuggle in your own snacks and I bet it'd be worth the free admission just for the possible dirty looks you'll get from any maga in the audience, to hell with whether they pay out the money or not -- and if they ask you to leave: "but I was told I had to stay in my seat the whole time, will you still be paying me my $50 if I go?". And if for some strange reason they do, all the better.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Make sure to go in some cheesy, giant alien muppet costumes.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Link or it didn't happen

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

There being a link doesn’t prove anything. These things pop up all the time claiming to pay people to come to a protest or whatever. Let me know when a single person posts about getting paid.

[–] bayleaf@piefed.ca 5 points 15 hours ago

"Did you watch it?"

I did not.

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 2 points 14 hours ago

Damn, what a day to find out what a grotesque human Ratner is.
