    Now they will be hauled off to a private for profit prison to build boxes indefinitely without a trial. One was shot and killed because he was holding a hot dog

    I hate the original so much :P

    No one who wants equality means that they blindly want to treat people as if they are cardboard copies of each other

      That’s not true, because the second you give someone else more because they’re disadvantaged, people start saying things like “but why does he get more than me”. Because people suddenly don’t really understand equity or fairness when they aren’t getting the same treatment.

        ?? I am saying that the people who believe in equality also mean equity and justice. Other people who have been conditioned to hate equality misinterpreting it as only being the first image is the thing that annoys me.

          I see what you’re saying; I think it’s a terms changing thing. Equity wasn’t in my vocabulary when I first saw the original image. Equality was used by many people to mean ‘treated fairly’, and most reasonable people would have understood it to mean ‘treated fairly’ based on the individual rather than a flat ‘treated exactly the same’.

          I believe the term equity started to be used more though because there were those trying to give the excuse that they were treating others ‘fairly’ - when really it was obvious the other person(s) needed more support for their needs (e.g., someone that’s pregnant/disabled needing different working standards compared to someone more able bodied).

      The people who aren’t interested in equity or equality are using pedantry against those who do want them. The original meme is used to reeducate those who have fallen into the trap.

    They were watching a baseball game without having paid for admission.

      Well, capitalists are not paying the admission either, they’re freeloading public money and stashing it in tax heavens

        It should be noted that wooden crates are often held together with nails, or at least big staples.

        If you destroy your crate, you may never see another baseball game. If you don’t destroy it, you definitely won’t see another baseball game.
