A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
You know, Hideki Konno predicted all this
Is this the old version or the new version
I don’t get how the rich and some politicians can just become the stereotypes they’ve been cast as in movies for…like forever!
“Hey that thing you’re doing is evil”
“Yeah but if I don’t do it first, some other guy will.”
It’s more like, when they watched those movies, they kind of got inspired by the villains and thought the negative portrayal was the fictional part.
They have always been waiting for the opportunity to do villain stuff and do it as long as they can get away with it (like doing a certain salute).
That's how human psychology works.
It was found that super-rich individuals legitimise their wealth acquisition and spending by presenting themselves as psychologically superior to the less affluent and as a result, deserving of their extreme wealth. By drawing upon meritocratic ideology, individuals managed their moral identity as their wealth and consumption is warranted as earned
Higher social class predicts increased unethical behavior
And in our society, wealth is what matters the most. This in contrast with older (smaller) societies where status is derived from generousity.
They're stereotypes for a reason.
Remember the time Robocop shot that dude in the dick?

I love robots, but ED209 scared the shit out of me as a kid.
"By next year, i will have a million of fully autonomous ED209s on our streets to protect me from wokism!" - Elon Musk, probably.
I don't know how satire writers are going to survive this century.
You have ten seconds to comply! [Mechanical Growl]
User declines using the application and escapes downstairs, robot pursues, falls down and can’t get up [mechanical tantrum with loud pig squealing]
Yah except in reality it's just a drone with a taser and an explosive charge. It doesn't give you a warning, it already has your face in a database of known "opposition members" and you've been targeted as a radical terrorist for laughing at that meme someone posted to your facebook. It doesn't care about stairs and can wait patiently outside your house for you to open a door or window.
Your violent death will be celebrated on state media along with everyone in your terror cell. (Family.)
This is the right answer! 🤣🤣🤣
And now I want to see the CEO doing just this.
Sorry, the verification can that I'm drinking from is in front of my face at the moment.

If only there was some way to watch classic movies without using a corporate streaming service.
Yarrrrr
Seems all the classic movies on corporte streaming are "Leaving soon" because of profit optimizing licensing anyway.

Asking for consent is already better then what we’re seeing now
