I'm typing this next to a shower. We need a symbol to represent everyone who is not a billionaire. Does anyone have any ideas? My last post was removed as I suggested a guillotine. So uh, don't suggest guillotines guys. We don't want to offend anyone now.

Guillotine is the only answer

We already have the raised fist symbol for a long time

It even has an emoji:

Removed here, on Lemmy? I'd expect it from Reddit... but here on Lemmy!?! Hey mod that did that, go get a job at Meta or something, since you can't shake their social-engineered domestication and brainwashing.

Wait til you find out that entire instances automatically filter out cuss words in people's comments.

And here I thought Lemmy would be better than Reddit...

I don't understand. The top answer is guillotine and it's also still mentioned in the original post, but now it's not being removed?

Instances are governed by the law of the country the server is based in. If what is written goes against a law there then it is in everybody’s interest to correct that.
I’m not saying that’s what happened here but it is possible.
Go have a look at the mod log.

The law is not always correct. Alan Turing was coerced into suicide because he was prosecuted for homosexuality, forcing him to choose between jailtime or chemical castration.

Yes, the law is often very wrong, but, unfortunately, that does not stop it from being the law… nor does it shield you from punishment from the state.
Break the law = no instance Obey the law = have instance
Check out .world and where they stand under German law, for example. It is illegal to say some things under German law. Don’t like it? Run for election and try and initiate change or move country.

A guillothreene.
It's like a guillotine, but for three people.
Technically not a guillotine because a guillotine is for one person.

Put 🚫 on top of💲?
It is the information age. We do not need physical money, we have the means to track resource allocation, production, processing, and need. Money incentivizes competition instead of cooperation. As human beings living on the same planet, we all have similar goals. The rich are using their money to hoard even more money, deliberately depriving others of their basic necessities.
I don't want to be a slave or a master. I don't want to be rich. I want a life worth living, work worth doing. I want to help people.
I get that it will take much time and effort to change, but if we don't, we might all die for someone else's greed. Many people already have. Easier said than done, admittedly.

Thats very altruistic but I dont think thats possible with how humans work
SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 16h
It's not just altruism. Empathy is reasonable. Cooperation is necessary for our survival. If we give up, the rich will kill us all.
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 11h
I appreciate the sentiment but I can't be that positive. If people were actually cooperating and empathetic they'd invite the homeless into their houses. I'm not even going to do that, I'm selfish.

Instead of using a symbol for the majority of people, we should label the billionaires when referring to them. I suggest using this, ☢ to indicate how toxic and radioactive they are to humanity. If you really want to designate yourself from them you could use a 🚫 over a ☢ to show you are not one of them.

Maybe we merge them both and have a new symbol.

If a guillotine is not okay, how about a piece of cake? It has the French Revolution connection but looks cute and delicious.
The Marie Antoinette quote is probably apocryphal but wgaf.

Because none of these reptiles know how much one costs, just like they have no idea what their actions will cost.
