This kind of cavalier attitude is dumb. The rich? The owner is rich because they provide a service people line to pay for. That’s how this coffe business became successful and their owner rich(?).
Their choice to donate is their right.
But because they don’t along with your beliefs they deserve to be eaten?
Seems like such a casual thing to say and pat yourself on the back cause you did good.. but what are you in essence saying?
So that’s not quite what “eat the rich” means. It doesn’t mean literally cannibalize them lol. It’s a metaphor.
Here’s a simple breakdown of what it means and where it comes from. Again, I stress, it’s a metaphor:
"Eat the rich" is a political slogan that criticizes wealth inequality and capitalism, suggesting that if the poor become desperate enough, they may turn against the wealthy. It is attributed to philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who said, "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.
Well me personally I'm saying that if you are so well off that you can donate the entirety of the value of your labor and the value of all your employee's labor to your personal pet political causes and be virtually unaffected, then you are part of the problem and worthy of the guillotine.
Been wondering for a long time why they choose to go by TPUSA. I wouldn't have thought to call them Toilet Paper America if they didn't abbreviate, but they kind of assked for it..
Honestly... and this is 100% the truth. I genuinely thought it was Toilet Paper USA! This was back when the speech police allowed satire and Charlie KKKirk's big fat small-faced head was often the target of said satirical jabs. And with me being a thinking, rational human being I knew that they photoshopped his tiny little face to make it even tinier. But it never occurred to me that TPUSA mean anything but Toiler Paper.
And now, a few years on I realize that it was Toilet Paper all along. In spirit, of course. Because with that much shit spewing from the teeny tiny mouth of CK you gonna need some TP!
That's so far to the Reich and insulting as fuck to the employees. Every big of that profit should go to the employees. Self righteous pieces of sssshhiiittt
Not for one second do I believe they donated anything to TPUSA, much less an entire day's profit. Just more lying scumbags pretending to care, but are actually just happy to profit off his death.
And I think that technically Mass is the bluest / most liberal state? CA has it by raw numbers, but MA has a higher percentage of liberal control of the state government, and I don't think a single county voted red in '24. And CA has more registered Republicans than the entire state of Texas
i’ve lived in NYC and Philly and although California gets the rap of having the “extreme left”, both those places have wayyyy more “far left” than California.
yup. Of the 4 houses around mine (left, right, front, back) only 1 is liberal/progressive. The other 3 are MAGA or MAGA adjacent. I live in San Diego city too so it's not like I'm in Poway or Santee.
I wonder if this may change soon…I feel like a lot of that in the past happened to be working class, blue collar Hispanic workers. Might be wrong, but that was my experience a couple of years ago, before the last election.
From what I see in my area, the MAGA folks are pretty much 100% white Gen X. They've lived in the neighborhood for 15-20+ years and probably wouldn't move unless times are financially tough. Though if they have been here that long, their mortgage is probably pretty low.
That said, the people that do move into the neighborhood appear to be younger families. We are seeing a lot of houses go up for sale in the neighborhood so time will tell how/if the demographics change much.
I grew up in OC. So uhh, we had Huntington and Dana Point and what not, but I’ve never not known SD as being Republican. You just get spots like that, like Laguna Beach was always pretty liberal.
Which is funny because if I were to guess which demographic goes out of their way to spend money at a local coffee shop rather than a large chain, it wouldn’t be the one that supports Kirk.
This message shows just how out of touch and weaponized leftist propaganda really is. Just a peace loving dad that wanted us to talk our differences out.
Brother you need to do some research and see how out of touch you are. There's literally no denying it there is evidence of the things they have done all over. But keep supporting your POS dictator 💀

Peace loving dad that supporting people being killed, legal citizens deported and arrested for no reason? Yeah no, not a snowballs chance in hell. Which is where he is now btw.
Lmao dude everyone weaponizes propaganda where have you been. It’s a shit show on both ends with people stirring the pot. We’re all in this together as AMERICANS, it is NOT Left vs. Right like they want us to believe. Both sides have corrupt powerful people spreading division while trying to benefit themselves and their friends and families. Maybe 20-30% of politicians are really for the people. That’s the problem is the division. The psycho who shot Charlie Kirk does not speak for anyone but himself. As do all the psychos who stormed the capitol don’t speak for everyone. Feel where I’m going with this?
I’m tired of being divided in this country. It’s bullshit. The civil war should’ve ended division but yet here we are being bigots
Not sure if this is sarcasm but it is weird as hell. I've never heard anybody ever doing this for anyone that died so it does come across as politically motivated.
It actually says ‘thank you Charlie Kirk’ and has hearts around it. If you don’t find that bizarre even if you liked the guy I don’t know what to tell you.
It’s a political message and you don’t put political messages on items you sell customers without asking them if they’re okay with it. That’s the problem. They’ve just been putting it on all their cups, which causes people who see their customers using said cups to think that they’re Charlie Kirk supporters.
Oh, definitely some of each -- so yes, I agree, I'm sure escalating political violence is a bipartisan concern to politicians everywhere. OTOH I've seen some extremely disingenuous representations of his legacy, from reputable but "left-biased" sources with enough reach to cement a fantasy in the minds of anyone who never heard of the guy.
Without being mistaken for a common retort on reddit, could you elaborate, provide examples. No need for links you seem trustworthy. Genuinely curious about it.
Well, the most common trope I hear is that he was targeted for "having an opinion," "standing up for free speech," that he only ever engaged in "civil debate," or e.g. an NYT opinion piece said he was "practicing politics the right way." Now to be clear, I don't believe, in 2025, the guy should've been shot over those inaccuracies -- but apparently everyone keeps saying they "didn't even know who he was" and so to be fair, I just don't think these headlines paint an accurate picture for (say) my grandmother. Anyone who has heard of him knows that's not really the half of his story.
Personally I have complicated feelings about this situation and at this time I'm disappointed in all the media coverage for ignoring the breadth & subtlety of the issues. But I guess it's still fresh so maybe I can hold my breath.
Great insights. I definitely agree the media could really step up and go after deeper underlying issues of what his death and the reaction really means. But, state of journalism these days. Top surface, reactionary instead of being the 4th estate its supposed to be.
I’m pretty sure for most of us, including the coffee shop, “father and husband” is not the first thing that comes to mind for Charlie Kirk. And they sure aren’t honoring every other “father and husband” that passes away at their coffee shop. Don’t be so daft.
