    Libs will tell you either:

    • You are not working hard enough
    • or not working smart enough
    • Not being smart and hard working in the correct way.
    • “Well what do you expect? Not everyone can be a winner.”
    • You know back in the day, people had to build their own house. on the land they stole
    • Kids in Africa don’t have a house, maybe you should be more grateful for what you have.
    • I worked for what I have, don’t expect me to solve your problems now.
    • Keep a positive attitude, things will turn out for the better.

    (btw I am joking here, this is not real advice)

    wojak-nooo Even if I speak out about white genocide in South Africa I will get silenced and my government will stay complicit in this horrific mass murder. What are we, North Korea?

    kim-cool Lol the DPRK is the only country on Earth that is not complicit in the South African white genocide and fights tooth and nail for the liberation of all oppressed peoples in the world.

      It does make sense if you are the employer and can set the wages. Paying them and taxing them or just paying them the part they’d get to keep anyway

        Gotta extract surplus value one way or another but you don’t have to do it at every single opportunity.

          I don’t think it’s really that much different if it is bigger pay and you pay taxes on it or smaller pay and no taxes on it. Where I live the tax is omitted automatically soit’s a similar sort of situation either way

            Well you see the difference is that under capitalism the surplus goes towards building some billionaires thirds yacht while in socialist Albania the surplus goes towards building enough bunkers to protect every man, woman and child.

      It is, but also kind of isn’t: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_North_Korea

      (NATOpedia, so there’s probably some bullshit)

    Getting a house part sounds like they’re getting it by buying it but second part talks about paying rent. A bit confusing. Or are rental homes (or apartments) common but also hard to get somewhere?

      Given the economic context, I think the “house” is really an “apartment” here, because the westerner in question does not have any prospect of home ownership.

        I’m surprised that they are worried about **if** they’re getting an apartment at all. I think this meme could be executed better with a small tweak

          I mean, if I can afford one, if my credit is good enough, if it’s not an empty building used for tax writeoffs or whatever the reason is some landlords buy building and don’t rent out the rooms.

      Rental houses are common where I live, and more affordable than equally sized apartments, but difficult to get because of the number of people looking to rent.
