        In theory.

        How would you handle a situation where in addition to “eat the rich”, people start to say “eat the working class supporters of the rich” or “eat the families of the working class supporters of the rich” or “eat the ‘eat the rich’ dissenters”?

        If you answer “that’s never gonna happen,” I hope you’re right because I hate to say “I told you so.”

          So you actually took a strawman and shoved it down a slippery slope into a victim complex with a condescending “you’ll see!” flourish at the end! Wow.

          That would have been HILARIOUS with just a modicum of self awareness, but instead it’s just sad 🤦

            1. I fail to see how this is condescending. I just don’t want witnessing a tragedy where innocents die because of guilt-by-association.
            2. What stuff should I be aware of that I missed? I can’t read your mind.
            3. Calling my question a strawman implies you’re certain this “slippery slope” will never happen.
