I saw a yard sign once that said “all are welcome here”, right next to the “no trespassing” sign. Struck me as contradictory and made me curious what it meant to them.
“all are welcome here”, right next to the “no trespassing” sign
I read that as “I don’t care who you are or what you look like, just make sure you’re invited first”
Liberalism is the closest thing to an ideology capitalists will ever have.
Radical Libertarian Capitalism
Everyone is equal, as long as you have the money.
No money? DIE, MOTHERFUCKER!
Real life Ferengi.
I always did like how the Ferengi found human slavery abhorrent.
But also didn’t really acknowledge that their women were effectively slaves.
As long as you can pay you can pee…
You can pee for free and thousands of other places, including your house. I am allowed to put rules of who can pee and shit in my bathroom.
That’s pretty much rainbow capitalism, which is but a small part of liberalism.
In reality, liberalism is much worse when it comes to things like human rights, singing it’s praises and championing democracy and freedom while committing/supporting atrocities, like Bill Clinton administration’s war crimes, Tony Blair’s invasion of Iraq, EU’s anti-immigration barbarism, Trudeau’s arms sales, current Israel Palestine genocide, etc.
It’s baffling how many regular people call themselves liberal while not seeing the contradictions/utter hypocrisy. Even on ideological level, you can’t support things such as equality and free-market economics, they directly go against one another.
like Bill Clinton administration’s war crimes
Not defending liberalism, especially the Third Way perspective popularized by the Clinton’s. However, when you are talking about Clinton and war crimes are you talking about the war in Bosnia?
Imo intervening in an ethnic cleansing is just about the only decent reason to go to war in the first place. There were plenty of war crimes going around in Bosnia, but the vast majority of them were happening to the Bosniaks, whom the Clinton administration was aiding.
Neoliberalism is the belief in inequality based on class.
Fascism is the belief in inequality based on identity.
No wonder, it’s just a small hop.
And they will stop welcoming any of those if it benefits them financially.
restrooms must be a right… ;(
Food, housing and fair wages (especially to foreign workers) aren’t even rights to these people, i highly doubt they’re going to consider that
;(
i wan post scarciti world for evryone aldri ;(
What a world that would be. I’d love that too.
We have the resources to feed, house, build and improve the life of so many in the global south/world in general. It’s due to imperialism and capitalism that we choose not to.
yisyis i kno… there is no “scarcity” if we were to… share! <3
be the change you want to see :spongebob_rainbow.png:
I don’t understand this meme.
"This is a safe space for all vulnerable groups (that pay money to us)
Liberals ultimately agree that capitalism is the way to structure society (but make it inclusive and give people rights, etc etc), while the secondary sign shows exactly where that inclusive line is drawn.
Liberals ultimately believe that the free market is all that’s needed.
Neoliberals think the free market just need a slight nudge.
Liberalism is closer to what the right wing turned the word Libertarian into today.
the subtext of the meme is: liberals pay lip service to “supporting” marginalized groups, but refuse to help when their own interests are on the line (e.g. can people who aren’t customers use the bathroom in the store? no, because making money comes first)
They welcome everyone but bathroom is for paying customers only.
The real joke is that somebody out there thinks this is making a profound point.
found the liberal
Edit: it’s a meta joke
Do they welcome a union?
We should run the government like a business
Yes but no.
