Here's the meme again without the bs on all sides

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 75 points 2 days ago

When the rich are in crisis, the government bails them out.

When we're in crisis, we're supposed to stop eating avocado toast...

You'd think the working class would be a part of society "too big to fail." =\

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

The working class are nothing but tools for the upper class. Always have been. We are the unclean undesirables.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

Is the working class failing?

If the entirety of it stopped working, im pretty sure it would be considered "too big to fail"

[-] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 days ago

Too bad worker's solidarity is barely a thing anymore

It has always been a struggle that seemed to require starving to really get the ball rolling.

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

Exactly. Everyone's a revolutionary in the boardroom but you're lucky if anybody's got your back stomping up to the manager's office.

A tale as old as time, annoyingly.

See plebs vs patricians literal thousands of years ago :(

[-] evanstucker@lemmy.ml 82 points 2 days ago

Don't forget the housing crisis!

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

But landlords are making record profits!

We are currently experiencing a capitalism crisis.

There too much of it and it's fucking shit up.

[-] TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Nowadays, a relevant part of the post-war and grandchildren's generation is forcefully advocating the continued existence of precisely this capitalism. They believe that its "value-based liberalism" gives them the moral legitimacy to sweep away competing capitalisms because their competitors are not "liberal" but "authoritarian." As if they were not subject to the same laws of the marketplace. The bottom line is that the "liberality" of the West lies only in the granting of no-cost freedoms, which are valid as long as one premise always remains untouched: submission to the principle of the exploitation of man and nature.

I think it's a money crisis.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

The crisis is that us plebs are speaking out and complaining about the gruel we’re not getting.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

The message was too good for the image to also be of high quality.

We are in a pixel crisis but pixel companies are making record profits.

[-] _sideffect@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

This is what I said all through covid; it was all lies and bs used to justify raising prices

[-] tyler@programming.dev 46 points 2 days ago

You’re getting downvoted because it sounds like you think COVID is fake. I agree with you that companies made up every reason they could to raise prices, but it was because COVID was a good scapegoat, not because COVID is fake.

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 14 points 2 days ago

Exactly. If there's a line companies love saying it's "In these uncertain times..." The more you're worried about unpredictability, the more predictable their little lines get...

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 8 points 2 days ago

Seems like it. War, covid, inflation, it's all very convenient scapegoat. Updooted OP.

[-] _sideffect@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Was I getting downvoted? I didn't see, but yeah exactly, they used covid as a scapegoat, which was completely bullshit

[-] meathorse@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

It seems to me that its the profits that cause the crisis

[-] Vertelleus@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

When companies are in crisis there is always a bailout.
The normal man is just suppose to die for the corporate overlord rather than get help.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 9 points 2 days ago

This tells me I should start a climate company
