$5 a month is all they ask — an absurdly low price for a Lemmyverse of news, education, entertainment, and silly memes.
I don't know. My elderly neighbor might be poor like me but his giant fucking Trump flag kind of makes me hope he dies because of Trump's policies, as well as miserable and alone.
I'll admit that's pure irrational spite politics. But the irrationality doesn't change how completely disinterested I am in joining forces with him against billionaires if he realizes he was wrong.

This is photoshopped… the picture was with mitt Romney and trump with his shiteating grin.. why the edit?
What do you think "the left" is??
I'd love to see a poll of how people in the USA would answer that question.
Leftism is just a fat woman with pink hair yelling at me for no reason.
I'm not a Leftist, I'm a Pan-sexual Afro-Future Longtermist Egalitarian Social Radical Centrist With Kropotkin Characteristics. I believe in a single worker owned commune unfettered by the cloistered norms of a 50s era revanchist white colonialist culture. But also I reserve the right to think white women with pink hair are shrill and want nothing to do with them. That's why I voted for Trump.
As I live alone and pay $500 a month just to be able to see a doctor, I am more and more enraged yet disillusioned the older I get. This is not living—this is fascistic technofeudalism.
Messaging aside, be aware that this photo is edited, Musk wasn't originally in it.
Wasn't it Ted Cruz originally?
EDIT: ah it was Mitt Romney.
The only war is a class war.
and what tool do we fight wars with?
guns.
The only tragedy is our lives.
Speak for yourself.
"this isn't right vs left, this is right vs left"
uh... okay?
No, this is Good vs Evil. Right vs Wrong. Truth vs Deception. But yeah, Billionaires are the dark half of those and develop extreme sociopathic megalomaniacal malignant narcissism apparently. How else can we explain it?
What these dumbasses don't realize is that they do rely on these things - every minimum or even low wage worker absolutely needs these services to make ends meet. These people aren't just evil, they're stupid.
Medicare can't help a guillotine
Good luck getting partisans to buy into this meme, but it is correct.
Left doesn't mean the democrats.
Fight a class war, not a culture war.
And you, who thinks you are in the “upper class” by making 500k a year. You’re not, you are among the poor.
We fight the people who own billions, not you.
500k a year is a doctor or something. Someone who actually contributes to society. That's someone who should be rich because of how hard they worked to get there plus how important they are to our society. Elon musk shouldn't get paid a fucking dime.
I mean technically how they make that 500k matters. If it's all just being a landlord we are definitely fighting them too.
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it. Let's handle the people owning a thousand homes first. Then move on the ones who own a dozen or less.
I'd disagree. Though I understand where you are coming from. I'm not saying behead the petty landlords first. However, often times the easiest way to fuel class consciousness is on these easier fights. Obviously a mom and pop single property landlord isn't making 500k a year I'm not talking about grandmas that have a property as their retirement savings.
But these small petty bourgeoisie (think the dude on tiktok telling people how to make passive income) of 10-100 tenants are often the ripe conditions for the creation of tenants unions which can fuel class consciousness. They lack the power of large capital and the power of state violence in the same way. I think material support to these areas absolutely helps the working class.
But we might just be disagreeing on definitions here.
