    Because this is the trending politics community. I meant it says so right th…oh … “memes”? That’s the same thing, right?

        I do not see others laughing. This isn’t exactly funny. How is a CEO getting paid much more than the average worker supposed to make me laugh? This more of a news article snippet than a meme

          Since when were memes exclusively meant to make you laugh? Memes have always been a means of societal commentary, think Rage Comics and AdviceAnimals plenty of the most famous ones talk about very real issues.

          I am laughing. Because what else can you do, seeing the hell we were born into and will probably stay the same for the rest of our lives. Nothing is going to change and if you weren’t born on top, you’re never going to come out on top. No matter what you tell yourself.

        What ever happened to making memes just to make someone smile for a moment and not a means to publicize an agenda? We get it, you’re a liberal who hates capitalism. Enough already…

          Pointing out a blatant flaw does not inherently mean you hate capitalism. But that being your immediate reaction sure is telling.

            Fair point. You can’t also deny that places like this 1) aren’t overly political and 2) are so far left you never hear from the other side.

          When a person that named themselves “antitrust” is upset about spotlighting union grievances…

            When someone doesn’t know what a burner with a randomly generated name is and completely disregards my comment all together 😆
