I'm greatly amused by the thought of a march that could not be more than 3,028 people.

I feel like the target audience is "temporarily embarrassed [billionaires]"^[1]
That is, people who are not billionaires, but like to imagine themselves as having the ability to become one.
[1] the original quote that this is from uses "millionaires" but years of the upwards flow of wealth meant the quote needed some updating.
So they'll all be in one place?
Notify antifa! Unleash the meteor!
As long as it leads them torwards a guillotine, I'm all in, I guess?
That's still not gonna get him that vc cash
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Every healthy society needs a robust guillotine maintenance and repair workforce.
I don't think these rattle heads, actually plan to march, I think he thinks he will order a march, and all the people currently marching that he sees, love him so much and support his "deserving" lifestyle so much, they'll all march for him. He's putting in orders for you to march for him, on his behalf, and he absolutely believes it'll happen in troves.
I would march.
200 bucks an hour I'll walk around a bit and pretend to give a shit.
I will also say things that when taken out of context will sound fucking awful and when in context will sound extremely suspicious.
I would march too, it's too easy to satire the movement. Signs like "Bill Gates did nothing wrong on Epstein's Island" or "Peter Thiel is not a vampire" seem like a good fit for the event.
yes, put them all together in one place, in the open
Yes! Let's get the billionaires all in one place. I'm hungry!!
Bilderberg Conference
I'll bring a bell!
Yes, get billionaires into the streets and marching.
I predict this will do wonders for the compacting roller market.
Think of the egg industry! It can't handle the buyer pressure in the days up to these events.
I'd love too watch 20 billionaires walk in a group
Such temptation
The other name for the march is the “MAGA bootlickers march”.
There will be more security around them than what the US president gets when he goes out.
That would involve billionaires showing up in a public protest.
Nah, they pay people to do it, like in Mexico
That would be a shame if during their march they got ambushed with masses of egg throwing counter protesters that pelted them all mercilessly with eggs, and maybe water baloons.
The only march where you can be certain if it’s more than 5 people they’re paid protestors.
Like 3 people will show up and they'll probably back the tax off anyway cause they were so polite and moving with their peaceful demonstration.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
They might start a big grassroots movement. Artificially. You might call it a turfgrass movement. Maybe use a genericized brand name. That seems fitting
Another tea party, oh boy.
Yes.
But it'll be the most extravagant protest ever. The who's who will be there. No doubt, down Rodeo Drive,. The lenses of every contributor to your feed algorithm. The best of ~~opinion pieces~~ journalism.
Can you imagine the size of the counter-demonstration. I really hope this goes ahead.
Came here to say the same, theyll all be out in the streets without the protection of their mansions
That would be amazing. Like 20 multimillionaires and one billionaire show up and then....
So we can all line up to throw garbage at them? You know, return the favor.
Is this guy dumb or secretly anti-billionaire? Gathering a bunch of billionaires in a small area, walking slowly in public streets, specifically to rally in favor of billionaire in this political climate. I would be more surprised if a shooter DIDNT take the opportunity.
Ooh, the headline is slightly misleading. It should say, "A desperate nobody who sees his misguided startup failing starts a self-promotion campaign to try to get money from rich people."
perfect opportunity to become an actual paid protester
Which chamber you plan on running in? House or senate?
All medical personal report to sickbay 15 immediately.

What's this from?
It's from The Long Walk
