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.

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.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 1 hour ago

brb, buying rotten tomatoes

[–] hector@lemmy.today 7 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Can you imagine the size of the counter-demonstration. I really hope this goes ahead.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 1 hour ago

That would be amazing. Like 20 multimillionaires and one billionaire show up and then....

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 hours ago

The only march where you can be certain if it’s more than 5 people they’re paid protestors.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I'd love too watch 20 billionaires walk in a group

Such temptation

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

There will be more security around them than what the US president gets when he goes out.

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 3 points 4 hours ago

The other name for the march is the “MAGA bootlickers march”.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That would involve billionaires showing up in a public protest.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago

Nah, they pay people to do it, like in Mexico

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] Rajtinka@lemmy.world 104 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Yes! Let's get the billionaires all in one place. I'm hungry!!

[–] monkeyFromTheLake@programming.dev 1 points 58 minutes ago

I'll bring a bell!

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 12 points 8 hours ago

Bilderberg Conference

So we can all line up to throw garbage at them? You know, return the favor.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 43 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Flauschige_Lemmata@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They might start a big grassroots movement. Artificially. You might call it a turfgrass movement. Maybe use a genericized brand name. That seems fitting

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

Another tea party, oh boy.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 17 points 8 hours ago

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."

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

perfect opportunity to become an actual paid protester

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 10 points 9 hours ago

Which chamber you plan on running in? House or senate?

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 hours ago

All medical personal report to sickbay 15 immediately.
