I feel kinda bad for the woman in the photo, since is wasn't her and she had it taken long before it happened.

Buuuut fuck the lot of em.

Also found out she rated for money she won't be able to collect because she called 911. So no money for the class traitor.

Ahahah, wow, that really is capitalism at its best. That's some delicious irony and I'll bet none of the wealthy will do anything to try and get her her money either lol.

Took me a bit to realize you meant ratted instead of the past tense of "rate".

Though if they do stiff her on the money because of that technicality, I'd consider that a massive tactical blunder, maybe even strategic. Tactical because it reduces the incentive for individuals to inform because they'll realize the reward has technicalities that can be used to weasel out of paying it, on top of the public backlash directed towards the employee and everything they are known to be associated with (McDonald's). Strategic because it might just be another straw on the camel's back about how the ruling elite fuck over the working class every chance they get, even for amounts of money that would be trivial to them, despite being life changing for the informant.

My guess is that the technicalities will slide and there might be a ceremony with a novelty giant-sized check (which would simultaneously dodge the above issue while also still fucking her over because such an event would give a face to the one who called the police on a popular fugitive). Then she can be used to justify some secret police shit, if they still feel the need to justify things at that point.

No they aren't about to give a minimum wage worker 60k. Best they could do is get hire fired. Fuck that worker she gets what she deserves.

It could also filter to any McD's worker, or possibly other fast food worker. I find it sad that the story of a blue collar worker not resisting the reward bait, perhaps even not knowing the full information and internet vibe of don't tell, is now the lead rather than continuing the battle against CEOs. We really do have a short attention span for shiny things, don't we?

If I was a really deep conspiracy nut I'd even ponder if the whole thing was a plant to turn the public away from the rich. Nah...we're not that stupid, right?

I assumed it was a stock photo. I never hold anything against faces I see in media, especially when they’re lit this professionally, because they’re often stock photos.

Situation aside, I absolutely love downloading super specific memes that the meaning of which I will either have no recollection, or will be etched into my brain forever. Sometimes it's assassinations, sometimes it's moot posting soup b which seems to have disappeared.

Pretty tasteless comment tbh

CEOs are delicious

i mean, they did say "fuck CEOs"

TotallynotJessica @lemmy.world - 1.0yr

They didn't suggest we do anything about it

itslilith - 1.0yr

Fuck CEOs, anyone who shoots them does society a favor, and Luigi is a hero in my book. Still pretty tasteless to compare him to Anne Frank, a teenager that was killed by Nazis for simply existing.

boydster - 1.0yr

Anyone that doesn't recognize this meme is about the class traitor and not the name they read on the screen needs to wake tf up

Anne Frank was a queer jewish victim of the nazi genocide. This is not comparable to the outing of Luigi, and I find this meme just as tasteless as the people who think the ceo is more important than normal people

if you don't like stuff like that, you're on the wrong platform chief

This is a black humour shitpost sub. Might wanna move past without input

12
itslilith - 1.0yr

My understanding was that this was a mostly queer, generally left-leaning shitpost community. If this turns into another "look, I'm so edgy" community, I might just do that, but I'd be sad about it.

It's not really the post that bugs me, but the casual and repeated dismissal of someone saying that they think this is inappropriate. Because you see how Anne Frank and Luigi are not in the slightest comparable, right?

9
Taleya @aussie.zone - 1.0yr

yes, we do.

as does everyone who sees this meme. No one is putting the two on equal footing. Not in the slightest. Except possibly you.

☭SaltyIcetea☭ - 1.0yr

that people on here generally have a pretty dark sense of humor, don't care what pisses others off, and tend to challenge norms, rules and tge status qou. this includes memes including the holocaust

3
blackris @discuss.tchncs.de - 1.0yr

With stuff like that you mean trivializing the holocaust to simp for a fucking murderer because he killed a guy who was a piece of shit himself?

6
☭SaltyIcetea☭ - 1.0yr

if you think that this comparison is trivializing the holocaust that's on you chief. cause in my eyes nothing can do that, no matter how many jokes.

timestatic @feddit.org - 1.0yr

It is disgusting to compare a murderer to Anne Frank

raspberriesareyummy @lemmy.world - 1.0yr

That's your takeaway from this meme? Back to school you should go. Although if you live in the US, being poorly educated is likely not your fault but that of the system.

41
itslilith - 1.0yr

You can both think that the guy is justified and a hero for doing what he did, and also think that comparing him to Anne Frank is in very bad taste, at best. He chose to do what he did, Anne Frank was persecuted and murdered just for who she was.

ALoafOfBread - 1.0yr

That's not really what's happening in the meme. There's a common philosophical thought experiment about moral relativism and that takes issue with Kantian ethics that basically says: okay, you think lying is wrong, but in some situations it's morally correct - like if you're a gentile in Nazi Germany and Anne Frank is in your attic & a Nazi comes to your door demanding to know if you've seen any Jews. Because lying is wrong, do you just rat Anne Frank out? Obviously no. But if you believe that not ratting out Anne Frank is morally right, then you have to admit that lying is not wrong per se.

Kant though was a removed and would have ratted Anne Frank out. Source:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_a_Supposed_Right_to_Tell_Lies_from_Benevolent_Motives

Meme goes back to 1797 when Benjamin Constant pointed this out to Kant in an essay. The thought experiment was about a murderer at the door looking for someone who is in your house because Nazis didn't exist yet.

timestatic @feddit.org - 1.0yr

I'm german. I've learned about her in history and this is my opinion and your comment assuming I don't know what I'm talking about is very telling. Seems like you have a really good-faith argument on your hand

raspberriesareyummy @lemmy.world - 1.0yr

And again, you miss the point... Nothing like people who refuse to think because they think they know things better.

Oh, sorry, didn't realize you're a snowflake as well. Shoulda guessed. My bad.
