Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

And no, the 6.134258 shares of Apple in your 401K don't make you an owner, lol.

We need a Luigi (the human) Wojak asap.

Nintendo will step in and spoil the fun (hard) if this gets momentum.

Also for human Luigi: Mugshot Vs Twitter pic for drake meme also?

Right vs Left Race vs. Race Men vs. Women Cis vs. LGBT

What did the left Race, or the women cis, or the Race Men do to deserve this?

I love how you left out east vs west in the top panel.

What a weird thing to forget 😅

I think Tupac and Biggie would be friends today. Probably even do a collab album. And then beat the shit out of puff daddy.

I was referring to the century old propaganda in this meme. It's okay to not be for progress and growth, just don't pretend to be for it 🤷

Guess everyone was right about tankies not being able to honestly discuss anything.

The top brackets are manifestations of the bottom bracket. Its a divide-and-conquer strategy, and foolish to ignore on its face.

For centuries women couldn't own property, couldn't hold professional jobs, and couldn't participate in politics. Same with ethnic minorities. Queer sexual preference was outright prohibited by law and used to disqualify candidates from office, to break up organizations with police action, and to deny people access to private careers and public services.

You can come at this from a vulgar Marxist perspective and only see the Owners v Workers. But you're missing why owners have power if you neglect the layer upon layer of privileged class surrounding them.

If it really does just boil down to Workers v Owners, why don't the cops simply seize the means of production themselves? What keeps them loyal to the bourgeois if they themselves are not invited to the Epstein Island Bunga-Bunga parties? What keeps suburban professionals loyal? What keeps religious radicals loyal?

There's more at play than mere title to real estate or collection of rent. You have to face an ideology that's caked on thick.
