The free market is not, as the social Darwinists imagine, a struggle between rich and poor, strong and weak. It is the principal means by which human beings cooperate in order to live. If each of us had to produce all his food and shelter by himself, almost no one could survive. The existence of large-scale society depends absolutely on social cooperation through the division of labor.
Comment on Which burn was worse? I'm gonna vote for #11.

I hope the teacher who said #11 isn’t teaching reproductive biology.
The sperm that makes it through to the egg doesn’t get there first. Multitudes of other sperms have died weakening the wall, receiving nothing in return, only for another to slide right in and reap all the rewards and renown for their sacrifice. It’s basically the perfect analogy for capitalism.

I can tell you’re fun at parties.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I am, actually. I can tell that you’re imcurious and probably unpleasant everywhere.
MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Whatever you say.

No teacher said any of these, it’s made up.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Probably, but I find that you get more enjoyment from these memes with a little willful suspension of disbelief 🤷
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Suspension of disbelief implies you don’t genuinely believe it, and that’s not the vibe I’m getting here.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Your vibe-ometor must be broken, then 🤷
