    Nothing to do with the discussion, but can someone explain this meme to me? Why is one guy in a well? Why is he smiling like a pretentious douche? Is the takeaway that the peasant is at least trying to better society, while the T-shirt guy doesn’t feel like it? I feel dumb.

      this meme is usually used as response for situations like this, right-wingers often try to discredit socialists by saying shit like “but you are a millionaire”, “you are a socialist but own 4 houses”

      this meme is showing you can live in society while also criticizing it, very powerful to have it on hand
