For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Because poverty totally happens because people are dumb, amirite. It's always a matter of personal responsibility. We live in a just world.
Edit: I thought "we live in a just world" was self aware enough to read as parody. Alternatively, maybe people get that it's parody and are downvoting it for that reason, which is much, much sadder.
Don't feel bad.
Lemmy has become extremely tone deaf and if you say anything even slightly nuanced everyone will choose to believe the worst possible version of what you could've meant.

I think the new math is for dealing with this? Basically all of school is self-defence class now. Maybe it always was.
Edit: have an up vote
I don't think school is for self defense. It was explicitly designed originally to mould the peasant class into a working class that would be useful to industrialists. It has always favoured rote obedience over actual understanding and critical thinking. In that sense it is very much about getting us to lower our natural defences against domination.
Yes, it is in fact so wrong that it is the name of a classic fallacy, the "just world fallacy", which the op comment had fallen into. I was attempting parody, but apparently it wasn't on the nose enough.
I don't understand, do you think I was being sincere? Did you read the edit? I am genuinely curious what you think about this.
