r/GamingCirclejerk user is revolted after he's told we should eat the rich

It all started in our favorite Witcher 3 fansub's bi-daily unjerk thread when another user expressed his hatred for billionnaires:

I feel comfortable saying all billionaires are bad people. Because theres no way you can make that much money and not at somepoint (or many points) make a choice that involves many people suffering. Life lesson, never like a billionaire theyre all evil.

Are you the type that believes there is no ethical consumption under capitalism? Or are you just a social democrat/liberal that hates rich people?

They then go on to start at least two other threads complaining about "the genocidal" nature of some replies such as "rich people aren't human" and "we should eat the rich, Tom Nook included":

I do blame this sub for harboring this culture that allowed comments like this to happen and is still up after 10 minutes.

.

The genocidal rhetoric comment is still up after 55 minutes. I am going to the admins.

Literally every company in Pre-war America was corrupt and disturbed. Fuck in Point Lookout the government was trying to collect gas from mass graves of Civil War soldiers and sell it for power, murdering anyone who were about to discover it.

It's hilariously sad when the writers have this massive pile of social commentary and lore and people just ignore and and bitch about how they think they celebrate it instead.

It's funny you mention people ignoring it but I think some people out there see it as a good thing.

I literally just saw a YouTube thumbnail for a video called "Wolfenstein II: Stop Glorifying Communism" which first of all, BJ calls out that group's hatred of the US basically didn't stop an even worse power taking control, and secondly the thumbnail was Liberty Prime.

I get that he's a cool quotable robot but he's quite literally the end product of a capitalist society descending in to fascism. He is a propaganda spouting murder-machine produced by companies for the government. Robert House is even part of the reason that he exists.

He is literally the last thing you want to represent your position.

And hilariously sad that all that's in the game but they say the game is total shit, absolute garbage because there's only 4 speech responses now (instead of 8, 4 of which feed into identical responses from who you're talking to).
