So this is the new version of
?
And that’s how chemically lobotomised many have become, that that’s sufficient to trick them?
We are in a lot of trouble. Dangerous idiots abound.
Oh you don’t need to fight them, you just need to corner them into working jobs that drain all their mental and physical energy and barely pay them enough to survive.
One human is smart while a lot of humans are mere herd animals. So called group thinking. Happens in social media too btw.
Mattias Desmet’s book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, is handy for understanding how this happens.
The guy in the fancy suit looks different from me.
So we should blame you?
Just because one does not blame billionaires as the root cause of problems does not mean they are inclined to automatically blame those who look different from them, whether in terms of gender, ethnicity, nationality, or whatever.
Do tell
What do you mean by “Do tell”?
Feels like you have a different take so I’d like to hear it.
Weird logic, those billionaires like Alex “I’ve got rectal worms” Karp or Jeff Bezos or Musk certainly don’t look like anyone I know.
It’s missing the 5th and 6th panels where no one from the left talks to him at all and he just stands there, soaking it in.
And humour or insight?
If each panel was a post in a Lemmy thread, they would all have zero upvotes and zero down votes, because no one else would have read it.
It is incredible how well this works and how well it has worked for hundreds of years.
We should really know better by now…
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you. - Lyndon B. Johnson
What if we eat the billionaires? I’m not saying we should, just wondering what if.
We would get very sick.
Yknow, we would only need to eat a single billionaire. The rest will fall in line :)
I’ll fire up the grill
You can’t stop at just one. ;)
This is the kind of comment that got me banned permanently from Reddit haha
Okay, but billionaires don’t look anything like me so…
I think they are actually lizards.
Hell, a few of them don’t even look human.
Notch and GabeN look more like me than most of them.
No! That guy has no money! The billionaires have money! Fuck the billionaires!
On the one hand I like and respect Gabe for staying relatively down to Earth.
But on the other Steam is the DRM that prevents people from owning what they bought and the dude has a fricking yacht. “But he eaaarned it waaah”, yeah, and how did he earn it? I refer you back to the previous point.
Games that dont use steam features (like steams multiplayer) arent required to use DRM (so games like Celeste still work without steam)
I think there are way worse things he has done/allowed than DRM
relatively down to Earth
Billionaire
Do you know what the word relatively means?
Entertain me your definition on how a billionaire relatively humbles themselves “down to Earth.”
What kind of garbage definition is that lmao. Not your fault I know you didn’t write the fucking dictionary but what the hell. Here is one that doesn’t use its own fucking root to define itself.
If you click into it and read right through, you may find it a more sensible and robust definition than the cambridge one with all its “gooder” and “badder”. ;)
Neither are great though.
Definition 2 is the closest to the way that relatively is used in most speech and it still uses “relation” in its definition. I don’t love the Cambridge one but it is better than the MW one.
… So, what are you trying to compare here?
I am aware you’re notpalordrolap @fedia.ioOh shit you weren’t just being an asshole throwing out definitions to prove a point, my bad for assuming the worst.
He [Gabe] is relatively [in comparison to other billionaires] down to earth.
Its not a high bar but he does pass it especially if you’re only comparing to the more well known billionaires.
Some people can and have interpreted me calling their source bad a personal call out. I’ve done that before, honestly it’s not a great thing to do but emotions exist.
Of ALL the billionaires in the world, Gabe Newell is possibly the least egregious.
That said. He’s going to the guillotine with the rest of them.
Kind of true, although for many, the comic starts at the 3rd panel.
Kay, is that you? You do look different.
