I'd like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I'd like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but bitches. I've never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I've been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.

I'll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.

Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I've ever been a part of.

Edit2: What a joke

If they converted to leftism, they could blame their economic troubles on Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos. Clearly it's not just looking for someone to blame.

It's two sides of the same coin. One side blames wealthy capitalists abusing the system to enrich themselves at the expense of others. The other side blames immigrants, minorities, etc. For stealing jobs, abusing welfare systems, etc. Causing hardship through job loss, higher than necessary taxes to cover that abuse, etc.

The question to find the truth then becomes what is it you see and experience in your daily life? Personally, i don't see how someone could steal my job. Someone can't just show up, go yoink, and take it. It's given to them, rather it's because they'll work for less money, or in worse conditions, whatever. They do something I won't that in the end, is a net gain on the profit margin, thus, im out, the other person is in. To me that person didn't steal my job, the boss gave them that job because they can take advantage of that person in ways they couldn't take advantage of me, through lower pay, worse benefits, for the sake of benefitting themselves.

Both sides see that same scenario happen, one blames the boss for taking advantage of a person to create profit, the other blames the person for stealing their job and putting them in hardship.
