It’s the car culture I tell ya

There’s a lot of uncanny movement for sure. It looks almost like it’s stabilized sometimes.

I’d say it’s either AI or Disney animatronic.

Gotta love that I’ve had my daily use machine running nixos for a couple years now and I don’t even know what that is 😂

really fits the snowflake vibe too

Sooo right. Trying to learn nix, flakes, and home-manager in parallel without realizing extraSpecialArgs exists isn’t fun.

Skill issue, maybe, but it’s an ergonomic issue too!

And before the rise to power with public support, there was a failed coup referred to as January 6th the Beer Hall Putsch

I can never really tell how un/intentionally memey the boomer aspect is anymore, but my brain might be broken. It’s definitely a meme by libs, for libs though.

I’d guess it’s to point out the fact that it’s developed under the guise of social liberty, but it isn’t a well defined term. Conservatives and neoliberals alike regard the views as liberal in America for some reason. In my mind the word helps distinguish it from liberal ideology by tacking on a modifier that can’t be equated to liberalism per se.

Neoliberalism fights for a semblance of democracy that favors economic, corporate freedom over personal liberties and the inherent human value we both care about.

I’m not attacking you or saying you’re wrong for how you see things. Sometimes the memes are just a way to communicate and normalize human existence. Social bias is social bias no matter who it’s against, why it’s against them, or to what degree. It’s a slippery slope to considering others to be worth less for the ways that they are.

I see where you’re coming from and why you’re drawing that line. My thought is that so many of those investors are not functioning as capitalists considering that they are still workers at the end of the day. They need to participate because of the way things are, where I suppose my idea of a “true” capitalist simply chooses to exploit in order to claim more. I do think there’s a difference between choice and circumstance in that way.

You’re misunderstanding. I said neoliberal for a reason. I wouldn’t call either party liberal, and the issue I have is labeling them as such.

You do know mentally (and physically) “ill/disabled” are and have always been the next in line, right?

And yes, it’s largely things that are actually pretty normal and human in and of themselves. Just not normal enough.

Do you think neoliberals would do that?

That’s kind of my point though. Control is real ownership. What we experience can really only be construed to ownership in name. Especially with the way financial systems work, built by capital, the vast majority of individual investors expressly do not own their stake in their names.

I’ve sort of always read that way, inner voice and all. When I learned that really fast readers figure out how to ignore that, or do it naturally, my mind was blown.

Oddly enough, I find myself processing text with a regular font in both ways from time to time. Sometimes it flows like I’m reading half of the words but still absorbing every bit. Other times I notice the end of a paragraph and can’t tell you what I just read.

'member when we thought “grab em by the pussy” would definitely do the trick and open some eyes? I… Yeah I totally thought that at the time…

Good thing I checked the comments before posting the Uhm Ackshually

Both people in the meme are workers, but Michael is pointing out that Pam thinks she’s a benefactor of capitalism, but isn’t, by being a worker.

The lines in the meme aren’t exactly a match for the personalities from the show, and it sort of flips the meme format regarding who’s “in the know”, i.e. normally Pam is confounded by nonsense while Michael is just oblivious.

Edit: Interestingly, though, the format still kind of follows in that both workers, Michael (boss) and Pam (employee), are helplessly taking orders from corporate (capital).
