        It’s like, I just woke up and am reminded that everything I’ve worked towards for half my life, the last 40 years, is meaningless and the struggle and anxiety will continue with no end for another 40 years.

    You can tell this is a leftist meme because it’s got half a novel’s worth of text on it.

    Strange, lived in capitalist societies all my life, yet none of these seem familiar (except climate change).

    Let’s see who’s really behind that mask!

      depends on your definition of capitalism

        An economic system characterized by the private ownership of the means of production, and state regulation to protect the right of private ownership.

      Betcha you live in a neoliberal state.

      Your own countries shitty policies are catching up to you.

      And the very same billionaires driving the current US state of affairs have plenty of money left over to capture your political class as well.

      And they will, unless your society gets active now about it, and doesn’t wait until AfD takes over, or whatever.

        Yeah, honestly the prospects aren’t looking great, though the problem is not so much “billionaires […] captur[ing] [the] political class” as much as unregulated social media algorithms capturing the lumpen proletariat.

    Glad I went to university in Australia. For citizens, the government subsidizes it and pays 50-80% of the cost depending on the course (higher priority areas have better coverage). The remaining cost can be covered by an interest-free loan through the government (called HECS-HELP), and you only have to start paying off the loan once you earn more than AU$70k/year. The repayments are automatically withheld by your employer as tax, the same way they withhold income tax.

    (there’s no interest, but the loan amount is adjusted for inflation once per year)

      Thats socialism. Communism is bad mmkay.

    • kboos1@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      In the US the government pays up to 100% but then you have to pay the government back. Lose lose I guess. I pay the government in taxes, then I barrow money that has to be paid back with interest. Fucking for profit government, WTF

        not all universities/state college, and there is stipulations.

      In Germany you don’t need a loan. Housing could be expensive if you study far from home but otherwise it’s very cheap.

      source
      • dan@upvote.au ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yeah it’s definitely not as good as countries where university/college is fully covered by the government, but it’s also better than plenty of other countries too.

    Most millennial I’ve met have been professionals who are not in stem, but i understand the top panel to be true of Zoomers. Doesn’t mean anyone followed through on it though 🥲

    What if we flipped all our appliances on and off at the same time to make the grid crash and take the data centers down with them?

    you forgot the part where they keep changing thier hiring practices, ooh you need x amount of experience for entry level, ,etc.

    There’s some fringe religious/spiritual stuff I don’t wanna share too much about but it talks about the world needing suffering and everytime I think it through it seems more plausible to me

    It’s exactly right. I spend 4 years studying programming for it to be invalidated by AI (I don’t think so personally but managers do, and even so entire teams just spam approve Claude PRs so it’s unavoidable)

    I earn lots of money just in time for the recession arc where everything costs 5x as much as it used to

    These problems in this comic strip were not caused by capitalism, they were caused by finance.

    Since the 70s, the boomer generation borrowed and borrowed and borrowed from their children's future and sacrificed their unborn children and grandchildren to live their cheap low labour lifestyles. The pumped the markets with cheaper and cheaper fake dollars to fund wars, juice markets and build their dreams.

    Now the bill is coming due and you are going to pay one way or another.

    Blame Keynesianism, blame Nixon, blame Reagan and blame the selfish me-first generation for not thinking past the backs of their refrigerators or past the ends of their filthy tailpipes.

      Actually, the financial class captured the political class to unlock more and more financialization methods. Meanwhile, business interests captured the courts to open the political class to more and more bribes.

      What happened here in the states can happen anywhere. And if your own nation is being run with neoliberal policies, it’s going to happen there too.

    Something something the 2nd amendment was designed to be used on elites not school children… Americans have a way out, they are afraid to use it. #freeluigi fuck the courts
