Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Capital has painted for people this image of poverty that is meant to terrify people into thinking they can't have good things without it.
It's really like an abusive partner who wants to control you by making you think you'll never do better. I would challenge bozos like you replied to, to actually go visit impoverished and developing nations and see how even the poorest people aren't lacking connection and conveniences, but they are lacking access to other basic necessities like water and healthcare.
Washing machines only cost a fortune if they expect you to be able to pay a fortune. Our image of standing in line for bread under a socialist system was painted by Reagan and we never let it go, because everyone who wants to make a lot of money helped him preserve that fear.
