    I always get the uneasy sensation that whoever leans this way in the way they view politics and the world, if they get their way there would be even worse misery for the majority of humanity, that whatever plan they have in place to replace the current system is full of holes and unicorns, political magic wands and groovy vibes all around, man.

    As flawed and incomplete as so many hippies who were “Down with The Man!” with one hand, while also “A woman’s place is in the kitchen and making babies” with the other one.

    Like the old republican woman snarling “Keep your dirty government hands off my Medicare”, half-baked ideas of how things work, once you get down from the armchair platitudes and into the real work that needs to be done.

      If I was to really stretch, this could be commenting on how everything that happens in our lives, from making absurd memes to sucking dick, is ethically tainted by the system we live under.

      However, in all likelihood, this post isn’t saying shit about capitalism. It takes a recognizable phrase and combines it with the “dick sucking badass skeleton” format. That’s it. Dick sucking is one of the least capitalist things you can do afterall 🙄
