dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This screams, still in high school, maybe very early college, and unaware of how undeveloped their understanding of political economy is. Like, they’ve got enough of a moral compass to understand that equitable distribution of wealth and property is good, but zero sense of class struggle or the use of systems to maintain that inequality. I don’t think they get that the people they want to ask very nicely to share their wealth are the same ones that run those systems to ensure they get to sit on their piles of wealth.

It’s possible they could become a proper leftist but not without getting some basic theory into them first.

Yeah seems like a radicalization opportunity more than a dunk opportunity

They are talking about "gender ethics", so they have at least slept through philosophy 101 to have heard the word ethics

the step to take is realizing that rich people need to die, systemically it must be changed in that way

What kind of leftist I am? What a loaded question

You should not even ask the question "what kind of socialist am I?"

but I also believe in freedom of speech

I don't really think it makes sense to put gender ethics along political lines

What is this, wrecker bingo?

Yes, free speech for fascists and other random reactionaries is very important, I am definitely very radical left bro just trust me bro

This is your brain on open source

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Open source is genuinely a good thing though. Let’s not let the libs have all the fun with that.

[–] RustCat@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Free software is better IMO, that's probably what the original comment meant.
