Is it still “tone deaf” if they know exactly what they’re saying?
Yeah, tone deaf isn’t the right word. Overtly evil and stupid is probably the phrase they were looking for.
Hanlon’s Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
I could easily see an out of touch rich person thinking of it only as a thing that goes along with rich people, (and not realize the actual meaning).
Like the rich person equivalent of “live laugh love” and “it’s wine o’clock”?
By the way if anybody has any of those on their walls, I hate you and you deserve death.
I mean we already have a solution to this don’t we?
Yes.

For those who don’t know, the phrase “let them eat cake” is commonly attributed to Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France in the late 18th century. However, there’s no concrete evidence she actually said this. The phrase is used to portray her as out of touch with the suffering of the French people during a time of widespread poverty and famine.
Having the phrase “let them eat cake” in a super luxurious house is incredibly insensitive because it symbolizes a callous disregard for the struggles of those less fortunate. It’s a reminder of the kind of detachment and insensitivity that can perpetuate social inequalities and exacerbate class divides, which is particularly tone-deaf in a setting of opulence.
What if the homeowner openly and confidently enjoys the struggles of the less fortunate?
I’m gonna say they probably just think it sounds cool and have no idea what it actually means
Nah they definitely know and are using it to flaunt their wealth over us poors
Where did they move? I mean like an exact address?
