HEY, THAT GUY’S HOARDING ALL THE CARDS. LET’S KILL HIM!
You’re definitely a CAPITALIST
Hahahahaha
I just got this. It’s been a long day 😂
Was it like “No I’m not! … wait I don’t get it but I can tell that’s supposed to be funny. I will say nothing until I understand”? Because I do that all the time.
It was like “Well, I don’t like being called that, but I can tell they’re joking, and it kinda makes sense that if I were a capitalist I’d want that guy dead because I want his cards, but that’s not really what I was going for. I’ll upvote, but I don’t really know what to say about it.”
And then as I was wrapping up my shift at work, I went back through my notifications to see if I’d missed anything; my eyes went right to “CAPITALIST” and I was like “heh. Kinda funny that that’s all… in… hm. Oh. Ohhhh… HAHAHAHA”
Really? Advertising Sprite on Lemmy?? A Coca Cola Company product??? Keep your capitalism out of here! /s
You know what can REALLY be a bit much sometimes?
It’s Capita-
The capitalists got him, guys
Well if it weren’t for capitalism you wouldn’t have to complain about Lemmy complaining about it…
Huh…just realized that Austin Powers’ chest hair is in the shape of a penis.
I never noticed that, either. Intentional or not, it’s on-brand.
What distro is this?
Ubuntu
Give me the whole deck removed, unos a kids game and were talking about causing political unrest.
Agreed. I’m mostly a lurker, but the current state of US politics feels existential.
I think sometimes Americans forget there is more than just the American version of capitalism
You have heard of commodification of capitalism criticism now get ready for commodification of criticism of capitalism criticism
The abundance of overconfident one-line retorts and trendy slang make me think people’s major source of knowledge here is memes.
Without capitalism you never would have made this meme!
We can appreciate a system for how it has developed the productive forces but determine its time is up… or whatever I can’t help myself I’m sorry
You comment like I do half the time. Cool beans.
I am afraid we are way past that point, it is more like a discussion between should we kill all billionaires or just -force redistribute their wealth or not draw 25 cards
What relation this has with capitalism? Are you trying to claim capitalism created wealth concentration and reduced class mobility?
Because that’s exactly what the OP is about.
It isn’t about what evil capitalism created. It’s about what evil capitalism has enabled to be perfected at scale.
I swear it’s like people want to be serfs.
serfs
Ironic…
You use exactly the word that capitalism deprecated.
My choice of words isn’t accidental, and you seem to have spotted the irony without appreciating its flavor.
I would say more like catalysed
A bit much, like the artificially inflated prices of everything?
Thanks Obama meme became Thanks Capitalism meme
Can we not? Like of all the shit to defend…
Not wanting to hear constant complaints about something does not equate to defending or endorsing that thing.
For example, you likely wouldn’t want to have a roommate constantly complain about their diarrhea after they eat dairy. You asking them to not constantly update you about their shit doesn’t mean you are defending diarrhea. Most people don’t want to be subjected to constant complaints about something they don’t have the authority/ability to change.
The alternative is normalization of capitalism and the status quo, which is already very much the case in most of society. People are constantly dying and suffering because of capitalism, the bare minimum is constant critique.
How many more memes until capitalism collapses? Roughly.
Maybe a hashtag on twitter will do it?
Not a great analogy.
It’s more like your landlord continually sprays your house with liquid shit and your roommate keeps making remarks about how it doesn’t have to be like this and people shouldn’t have to live with liquid shit and you’re like, “Would you just shut up about it already?!”
