    Tbh “eat the rich” has some pretty uncomfortable historical connotations when it comes to Maoist China. I know survivors of the cultural revolution and they definitely don’t find that shit funny.

      It is a simplification of a longer concept “When people having nothing more to eat they will eat the rich” which is kinda seperate from the whole Maoist China thing. Also the cultural revolution was a complete fuckup seperate from the original meaning, one is about desperation of the common people the other is another example why vanguardists need to be stabbed before they cause a famine.
