Memes are memes
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.
Even something as simple as the "This is fine" meme could be considered "not funny" in the same way this meme is "not funny" depending on how it's used.
(You might've mistaken me for the other guy. I'm agreeing with you.)
Looks like I did. I apologize, should have paid closer attention when replying.
It's fine, happens to the best of us.
The "meme" is not exclusive to me. What made you have that idea?
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 😆
Man you must really hate jokes.
No, I just enjoy seeing something other than the same stupid, 1-sided shit day in and day out.
