      It’s supposed to be a march for billionaires. I doubt many will show up themselves. The people marching will mostly be bootlickers.

      Could be at the same place, same time!

      Most likely the participants will be poor astroturfers sent on behalf of the billiodogs.

    “Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive.”

    Certainly, in the same way that failing to catch a bank robber and allowing them to skip town is expensive.

    So, if this is indeed trying to be legit, what is stopping people from just co-opting the event as an act of protest anyways?

    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.

    They are probably all pedos, too. Someone should check their Internet history.

    LA Times article

    SAN FRANCISCO — As California struggles with homelessness and healthcare cuts, some activists are taking on an unexpected cause: fighting for billionaires.

    About a dozen people took part in the “March for Billionaires” on Saturday morning in San Francisco to raise awareness about the plight of the ultrarich. Although some assumed the event was satire, organizer Derik Kauffman said it was a sincere protest against a potential new tax on the state’s wealthiest residents.

    And 10-20 to people showed up to actually protest.
