See who you are not allowed to criticise and you will see who rules you.

Their class is united, it's why they win.

So just out of abstract curiosity, where can one acquire these cards?

CEOs are all the rage these days, but hear me out here - shareholders?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I agree... What is it like 10% own 90% of the stock market, 1% own 50% or something like that? Major shareholders are the real evil oligarchy... CEOs are just shills they hire to take the bullet, same as politicians but paid better... I'd love to see some playing cards for the real oligarchy... But it's pretty hard to really track them because they hide behind corporations and shit

Really just anyone with a certain amount of wealth should be forced to redistribute that wealth or face dire consequences.

Thankfully no one cares when Forbes posts their hit list every year.

Man, there's way more than 52.

He's gonna need a Magic: The Gathering like system for all those fuckers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but I don’t think you’d even need to take out 52. After the first dozen or so, they’ll be more inclined to surrender their wealth and get off the list.

I think the cards are hilarious but they have something the other referenced sets (Iraqi, COVID) do not: silhouette targets on the back.

I am by no means defending their removal but cards but maybe don't give them a plausible excuse to remove them by implying that these cards are for shooting??

Yeah. Threats are speech that attracts repercussions.
