Says the guy who thinks someone could dox him if they knew he lived in Michigan years ago lol.

I don’t like this one bit!

You don’t think it’s dumb to say that housing prices currently are proportionate and make sense?

Damn I’ve seen some really stupid takes on here but this one is really something special. Cherry picking the numbers here is so obvious and the ones that you ignore, like income, so blatant that I’m unsure how this isn’t flagged as straight up misinformation. That’s not even the stupidest part though believe it or not. Why would you even try to cook the books like this to make it seem like there’s nothing wrong with the home cost situation? How could trying to convince people of this fantastical situation possibly benefit you?

Woosh

No

Tell that to Tucker Carlson

Unfortunately no, but we absolutely should have.

There you go again pretending that Christianity is being oppressed when: 1) it’s not and 2) it deserves to be so even if you weren’t full of shit it would be appropriate

Ok I’ll spell it out for you instead of joking around then. This meme is incredibly accurate. There has been nothing in human history that has caused more pain and harm than religion and Christianity is the worst offender. It absolutely deserves critique and you’re being unreasonable for saying that Lemmy is wrong for doing so.

Yeah Christians are so persecuted. I feel so bad for them. Good thing you’re here to defend them or they wouldn’t be that most powerful group in the country.

You’ll just have to trust them

I dunno man. Even in a utopia where we control all the means of production you still need someone to schedule work hours and order ingredients and stuff. They should be beholden to the rest of the team just like anyone in any position so I see what you’re saying. However, comparing them to cops is a little extreme. These “bosses” need to be in agreement with the rest of the labor class and calling them thieves is unhelpful when the real enemy are the shareholders. Let’s start with taking down the actual ruling class before pitting workers against other workers just because some of them have been elevated to minor positions of power by a corrupt system. Of course there are bad bosses who buy in too much but I’ve had plenty that actually care and are just as exploited even if they make 5 or 10 percent more slave wage.

All I’m saying is that this meme is hurting class solidarity and if it actually said “capital owners” and not “your boss” then the 90% of people who aren’t experts on Marxist theory might understand. As it is, I feel like most people would just read this and think, “well then my boss is a thief and I hate them for that”, which doesn’t help.

Agreed class traitor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Absolutely vicious straw man there. Great job boss. This meme does not do any of the things you claim it does and I’ve absolutely demonstrated what you just said I didn’t. You’re obtuse and completely out of touch.

I’m upset that this meme helps the ruling class by pitting the working class against each other. That’s it. Your meme does not say, “capital owners”, it says, “boss”. This is why I’m still questioning your reading comprehension because I’ve now explained this multiple times.

Anyways. Enjoy your day of posting memes that help the elites that wouldn’t exist if the working class wasn’t constantly fighting amongst ourselves. I’ve got to go organize with my coworkers, including my “boss”, who are all part of the labor class getting screwed by the elites that you are enabling.

Ok you’re the boss. Everything that Marx wrote still applies literally and managers and bosses don’t contribute anything to production. Good thing your meme has kicked off such great discussion about how cashiers should see their managers as thieves.

Not sure what kind of privileged life you lead where you can just post memes all day but some of us have to actually live in this capitalist hellscape. We need the entire working class to rise up, not fight amongst each other because the “boss” who’s making an extra 50 cents an hour is appropriating everyone’s salary. You’re out of touch.

Yes I understand Marxist theory. But quoting things written down almost a hundred years ago in a meme without context is like saying that homosexuality is wrong because it’s in the Old Testament of the Bible. It doesn’t make sense to most of the people reading the meme and it doesn’t help the situation. It just pits the working class against each other and makes progressivism look extreme when it’s not. Unless of course, you’re only doing this to feel superior to people by quoting Marx at them and then saying things like, “educate yourself FFS” so that you can feel like you’re better than others. Hopefully that’s not the case because you sound completely out of touch.

Maybe you’re unable to read then. This meme says your boss is stealing from you. Most people really hate being stolen from. The manager at McDonald’s making 50k a year is not stealing from the cashier making 45k. You’re pitting the working class against each other and it’s not helping. You’re completely out of touch

This isn’t helping. 90% of people’s bosses are also being exploited. It’s the millionaires and billionaires who are the problem. Very few of which actually work. They’re just shareholders with generational wealth.

Stop trying to get people to hate others who are part of the same exploited working class just because they’re slightly less poor.

This OP just has really bad takes sometimes. Like 30 percent of their posts are like this. I can’t tell if they’re a tankie or just so angry that they post anything no matter how out of touch it is.
