Random Old Memes and ✨Stuff✨

Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

infographic titled "What class are you a member of?"

sub title: "Lower class? Middle class? Upper class?"

in a central box, text: "The truth is, your class has nothing to do with your level of personal income, but everything to do with your relationship to the means of production. Under capitalism there are only two broad categories of social class: the capitalist class and the working class."

bellow, on the left a box with text:
"The Capitalist Class
The capitalist class are people who are private owners of the means of production. The means of production are anything used in the process of production, including our workplaces, factories, tools, machinery, land, infrastructure, natural resources, and so on. By simply owning the means of production, these private owners are allowed to take for themselves the products and wealth created by the labor of the working class."

on the right a box with text:
"The Working Class
The working class are people are are not owners of the means of production. Because they don't have any ownership of the means of production, these workers have no choice but to sell their time and labor, the very substance of their lives, to members of the capitalist class in exchange for wages which equal less than the full value of their work."

bellow in another central box, text: "The capitalist class, and the working class. Exploiters and exploited. Which are you?"

Lmfao, you not being comfortable with the reality (or only using a single exception to the rule, talk about lacking nuance) doesn't make it any less real, but you're clearly not here to learn or improve so feel free to fuck off..
