Considering the template/pic lore the labels should be switched.
Yeah. If anything America is the predator and literally everyone else is terrified
OP, have you, um... Actually watched the show?
Yeah, I watch Captain Who and the Time Adventure Pals!
Ah, I see how you're confused here. This image is actually from Marvel's Very Mean Lady, in which David Tennant plays The Very Nice Man Who Never Did Anything Bad.
I was going to say, image macros recontextualize the original image but usually not to the point of reversing the original meaning.
i haven't can you explain?
OK, so the dude in the photo is a sociopathic rapist with God-tier mind control powers. The woman is a former victim of his.
Nope. He had the ability to control her. Nobody can stop our crimes. It’s bad.
This is the opposite of reality, actually. Watch the show OP, it's really good.
what's it called?
Jessica Jones
Trump doesn't care unless it effects the stock market
The bond market really. Dips in stocks just means cheaper stuff to buy. Bonds suffering makes the money to buy the cheap stocks more expensive and that affects the ~~useless eaters~~ people at the top that live off the labor of others.
useless eaters
Isn’t this a fucking Nazi trope for disabled people and the “lazy”?
It is, but it’s also an image that has very frequently been used to depict billionaires / the aristocracy / royalty, etc. See Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the Eaters from Ian Banks’ Consider Phlebas, Denethor in Return of the King (movie version), Baron Harkonnen in Dune, Dorian Grey, Parasite, Snow Piercer... I mean that's random stuff flying off the top of my head, you could easily come up with many, many more. Basically name a piece of even vaguely egalitarian art and you'll probably find an image of conspicuous consumption tied to the wealthy and powerful somewhere in there.
I think, contextually, it was clear what they were talking about, and I don't think that conspicuous consumption can in any way be deemed a purely fascist imagery.
You can also argue that "parasites" has been used to refer to the poor and disabled, but I don't think that should stop people from using it as a label for billionaires.
Upon further review yes.
Purple Man should be labeled “billionaire elites.”
For me boycotting the USA has become a new hobby.
How does one boycott the US? They don't really make anything internationally beyond internet services. Should I stop using Google, Facebook, insta, Amazon etc?
Depends where you live. I'm up in Canada and there are lots of products that are manufactured, sourced from, built or grown in the USA.
Lots of tv shows, online stores and even web hosts that. More about making the best choices when options are available.
What happened this time?
That's just the smart part of America
yes, i stopped using google for starters, facebook already was banned 10 years ago and Microscum is up next, waiting for Steinberg to make Cubase for Linux aaand I'm gone
