Take this shit back to LinkedIn
That moment when you are so deep into capitalist shit you start making motivational quotes not about talent, morals or well-being, but about money.
You really need to reach a deep and pathetic level of stupidity to actually believe something like that
Multiplying money is easy when you already have money. Not an art.
"taking risks" is also a lot easier when there are no consequences for you.
Dabbling in stocks, I realised you need plenty of capital to have higher risk tolerance.
Takes money to make money and that's why they keep stabbing it from the poors
No, it's luck despite the system.
No, also luck despite the system.
No, still luck despite the system.
Believing these words is dumb, but making quotes about them is malevolent.
Extortion is an art?
"Qutos", a new State Trek Ferengi comic relief character who goes around sagely quoting capitalist aphorisms that make no sense to anyone but other Ferengi.
Keep that shit to yourself.
I'm glad Lemmy once again shows how anticapitalist it is.
Tbh, this post only makes sense as anticapitalist satire. There's no value in these statements when taking them at face value.
So of course people see it as what it is and engage exactly like that.
Money! Money, money! Money money money, money, money money... Money money? Money money money money money!
Money, money, money
Must be funny
Plot twist: it really isn't after a point!🙁
I mean from a literary viewpoint this text is pretty well built, I've almost believed it for a moment.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
