    If this isn’t the right /c/ for this, lemme know about a better fit.

    Caption:

    An edit of a famous propaganda poster from 1981 which showed the global being sucked dry by two giant mosquitos at opposite poles: USA and USSR, and a spray can (anti-mosquito) with the slogan:

    "FAST ACTING RELIEF FROM ANNOYING PESTS! NEW! IMPROVED! ANARCHY. Satisfaction guaranteed or your oppression back. Caution: combustible mixture, continued use may provoke authoritarian wrath. "

    This edit has Putin’s angry head as the red mosquito and Trump’s angry head as blue mosquito, with Musk’s head as satellites in between them.




















  • Yes, that’s what I mean. What you described happened and it’s a core part of how capitalists build up a popular base. The temporarily embarrassed ones are looking up to the ones who are actual millionaires. Don’t worry, they get that money back in the end.

    With wealth, like properties, shares and various “passive income”, the class interests of the former working class person tend to turn into capitalist class interests: lower taxation, more deregulation, more personal and family wealth accumulation, more welfare and aid for “business owners”, smaller social welfare systems (for the masses) with private (and exclusively expensive) alternatives, and so on.
