The funniest thing that might still happen in the future is the south park's latest episode.

The rich were eaten not because they controlled everything, but because they couldn't fuckin shut up

    I see that whooshed hard, so i will explain what the meme means:

    This is happening all the time, but economically. Every time somebody got trampled by the capitalism, you people are like "he should work harder/smarter, learn to code, stop eating avocado toast" etc. you always blame the victim of the system.

    Pick yourself up by the bootstraps, learn to code and stop eating avocado on toast were extremely controversial and the only people saying it were a tiny minority.

    These are all upper class takes on the working class. In the hypothetical world where billionaires hunted 'us' for sport it would only ever be the upper class or billionaires who'd say this.

    So its a strawman tweet. It suggests that the average person is defending billionaires hunting them for sport. This doesnt exist the average person would never say oh you didnt run fast enough to avoid the billionaire hunter.
