    There’s all kinds of people working in warehouses, construction, just ruining their body for a few bucks an hour.

        Isn’t going to happen. Corporate America has half of the workers convinced that the other half is causing their problems.

        I have no idea why it hasn’t happened. It makes no sense walking past a sales board telling you the store did 2 mil in sales this week and you’re getting a pathetically $300 bonus every three months as a reward.

      For a second there I read “whorehouses” and I was like “Seems legit”. Most of the rest of the sentence still fits. 😅

        Depending on your constitution for outdated nomenclature, both warehouses and whorehouses do involve workers moving boxes around in various ways.

    Ok now make a corrected edit where both of them are saying the speech bubble (both of them are forced to sell their bodies in order to live and afford basic human needs, yet they have become needlessly pitted against each other in various leagues of purity contest in order to distract from their oppression under capital)

    Disabled vet, can confirm. Still have all my limbs but at least the system finally worked and I get a pension and that sweet socialized healthcare now.

    Lots of scars on both these characters that you can’t see. Maybe the problem isn’t the people or the gender.

      Eh, from a practical standpoint, selfie-lady still has both legs, so if I had switches places with either of this, I’d know who to pick.

        Yeah, but bionic leg, tho.

        Granted, picking between either seems incredibly silly considering we know literally nothing else about them.

      True… one of them provides a public service - the other lost his leg doing imperialism for capitalists.

    This post / art is extremely disrespectful to the people that lost so much doing what their country has asked of them.

      I feel you’re missing the point that the image is trying to make. It’s two polar opposites who can’t imagine doing what the other does, but the reality is that they’re both doing the same thing.

        No I get the point. That point would have been better made with a construction worker or miner or any number of jobs that breaks your body while buying your labor, but they made it with one that’s done in service of others, their country, their neighbors, strangers in another country. Only at a cursery glance are they doing the same thing.

        Edit and after finding this I’m going to go ahead and say fuck Krime. They do know what they are saying here.

          they made it with one that done in service of others, their country, their neighbors, victimizes strangers in another country.

          FTFY.
