Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Obviously I have only seen discussion on what I've seen, but I respectfully disagree. This is a very pro realistic minimum wage, a very pro reduce diff between highest and lowest site in my experience.
Again, my own anecdotal observation
Eh. Just recently I’ve seen a lot of people talk down upon like.. manual laborers, tradespeople, etc.
Without being too cynical, I think this website has a lot of people who like to ‘roleplay’ as being leftist, but then when you get into any specific policy points everyone suddenly goes “well I think people should be paid more… but obviously laborers shouldn’t make as much money as people like… oh, I don’t know… middle manager data analysts” and then you look at their history and they’re like “as a middle manager data analyst…”.
Its a very “communism is when I make more money and maybe some other people can make more too as long as it’s not as much as me” approach to progressivism
Wow, I’ve had GBU’s experience!
Let’s fight about it 🥊
No need to fight, I think both experiences are fine. I would just maintain that what might “appear” to be people invested in progressive, workers rights type issues, perhaps might not actually commit to those actions if it meant any meaningful sacrifice or change to themselves.
To break the parable a bit, imagine a lion that can somehow contort itself to feel like a housecat. A lot of people can touch it and say “hmm… feels like a nice little cat” - but someone who has had his arm chomped on by the lion knows there’s more beneath the surface
Tee-hee, ya 🐱🦁,
To the best of my recollection (and observation skills), I simply have not seen any of that kind of dog whistling, in a way, the 'progressivism for me, not for thee' / anti-laborer slant.
