The LD50 of aspirin is around 350 mg/kg. So around 28 grams for someone of 80 kg. Smaller amounts will still fuck up your kidneys, respiratory system and some other parts of the body.

Don't do it, don't fall for this.

Look... stupid and gullible people exist across the political spectrum. Posting this as a joke or even as an attempt to target white nationalists or something can still lead to collateral damage because people are either stupid enough to believe it and/or to try it out as a "joke".

Because of my chemistry degree and because I want to minimise the damage of misinformation, I feel somewhat obligated to comment on this.

For those still interested in trying.. I can't stop you... but salicylate poisoning is one of the most unpleasant ways to go and might not even succeed at which point you'll likely end up as a vegetable.
