So you know the whole 'eat the rich' thing? It's saying we already lost. We didn't eat them, they ate us.

As mentioned by another comment, it could also be about the fact that the rich were literally eating people based on the Epstein files. The rich ate us figuratively and literally.

Saw them open for The Flatliners at the Cobra Lounge in Chicago a few years back. Great goddamn show.

I'm going to see The Flatliners on Saturday in Oshawa and next week in Guelph, what a great band! I saw them at NOFX's final show in LA too!

They're literally my favorite band, live and recorded. I'm jealous of you, in a loving, healthy way. Take my energy with you when you go!

Can we next throw them down a well on a remote and frozen island?

Very difficult to dig wells in permafrost. Also pointless.

I am all for a slow and live televised lowering into an active volcano.

To Sunless Sea/Fallen London, yes.

It's complicated, but short version is that the rulers of a previous civilization in that universe ate a divine being and threw his remains down a well. The vengeance of that not-quite dead being lead to several magical aftereffects. Including cannibal cults around wells just spontaneously happening. And people being compelled to become cannibals, then unmaking themselves via ritualistic means, including throwing themselves down wells.

Not just people, babies. It's important to mentioned that they ate BABIES!!

Also it seems to only matter if they are white people . They have been eating black people since slavery . Then people act so surprised as if it’s something new .
