I feel like the poster didn't mean to infer American capitalism is so great we need a wall to slow people down from entering while communism is so shitty they need a wall to prevent people from escaping.
It's a strangely pro American capitalism meme for lemmy.
The tankies are asleep, post anti communist memes!
The community is on lemmy.world so the tankie instances are blocked
Are you sure about that? I don't see it on the block list
You filtered lemmy.ml, not lemmy.world. Also: it blocks lemmygrad and hexbear not the other way around.
My link was to the list of instances that block Lemmy.ml, and Lemmy.world isn't on it.
I wouldn't call lemmy.ml a tankie instance, so that was our misunderstanding
It doesn't look like Lemmy.world blocks lemmygrad.ml either. https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=lemmygrad.ml
On https://lemmy.world/instances , you can select "blocked instances"
There's also the walls around most Palestinian settlements, the wall that the Dominican Republic is building to stop Haitians from fleeing their country, the walls (fences with barbed wire) in Hungary...
Yeah. My country used to be a capitalist dictatorship in the 60s-80s and it very, very much kept people who disliked it from escaping it, and then tortured them for being "unpatriotic". And as ICastFist mentioned, there are several other capitalist and even "democratic" countries out there that very much build walls to keep people from leaving, too.
I initially assumed this meme was criticizing capitalism due to pointing out how the rich plunder and oppress the poor (i.e. the US with Latin America, and Europe with Africa and the Middle East), then hoard the profits for themselves while propping up walls to prevent anyone from the places they exploited from getting to also share and experience their wealth and safety nets (i.e. America's border wall with Mexico, and Europe sinking refugee boats while fanning fascism to pin economic issues on the migrants rather than the capitalists themselves), but reading the OP's replies it seems the meme was actually made in defense of capitalism...?
Honestly, between this and the "you'd be morally obligated to vote for 99% Hitler" nonsense, neoliberals seem to be really, really bad at defending their own ideology, lol
