A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Every time I read a complaint about having to do the dishes or working a dumb job, I like to imagine the complainer making their case to the kids who work 16 hour days to make their clothes.
"Yet you benefit from living in the imperial core. Curious!"
I think you missed the point?
To put the meme to which you're responding in this context would be like the king in the background castle complaining that nothing on Earth could be worse than his castle only having two turrets.
No, it would be like the king saying "feudalism is bad" and then you saying "AND YET YOU HAVE A CASTLE WITH 2 TURRETS! HMMMMM CURIOUSSSS"
feudalism is bad. That's still true if you personally benefit from it.
White supremacy is bad. I personally benefit from it. If I were to criticize the way white supremacy has shaped society as a white guy with a corporate job, are you going to then tell me "well you should shut the fuck up, you have it great what are you talking about!"
If Warren buffet tomorrow said capitalism is bad, he would be correct despite being the CEO of capitalism
