dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Wait, aren't the underpaid workers the actual ones getting screwed ove-

Yeah, and wage theft takes billions more than shoplifting.

It's wild that chuds think it's the shoplifters bringing minimum wages down and not the actual people in control of their wages.

Like the CEO could eat that loss, he doesn't have to pass it down to his employees. Not only that, but covid kind of proved that even when companies are raking in profits, they don't increase wages, so shoplifting isn't going to change that.

It's just cowards blaming an acceptable easy to blame target (activists that disrupt the status quo) instead of a powerful hard to fight target (rich business owners)
