But, no, ofc “puuuurge elon tomorrow!”.

Wasn't the whole moral of The Purge that rich people are insulated from the consequences of their shitty policy. And the only real defense against stocastic violence is community with your fellow man and trust in one another?

"Purge Elon!" is a fiction because Elon is at the center of an enormous, slavishly loyal cult. Meanwhile, folks on Lemmy would slit each others' throats over a bad meme. There's not going to be a line, because everyone in it would be stabbing one another.
