I guess that meme I keep seeing that’s asks “did we leave all the stupid people on reddit?” Was wrong.

Y’all can’t understand a few simple metaphorical images that looks like it was designed for children to understand, and are going all out in contriving obtuse reasons for why it doesn’t work or isn’t realistic.

Yes, of course if this was real she could walk to the other side, but it’s a fucking metaphor.

neutron ,

Arguing about the metaphors and analogies instead of actual topics? Saw plenty of those during college, especially when the guy in question was being a contrarian just to ‘stick it to the man’ and look cool to their buddies.

I thought working adults would grow out of it - nah, we’re all dumb children inside, including me.

marmo7ade ,

The irony is delicious. We clearly did not leave all the stupid people on reddit.

Yea it’s a metaphor. Congratulations. Want to talk about actual, real life issues and how to fix them? Because metaphors mean precisely jack shit when you need to apply them to reality and deal with real humans who disagree with each other.

afunkysongaday ,

It’s just such a bad metaphor. Not simple, bad.

KaleDaddy ,

I see it all the time. A certain demographic seemingly cannot comprehend metaphors and jf it isnt literally perfect in every way they attack it. I think really they know they wont look good admitting they have issues with the message of equality/equity so they attack the method of delivery instead

Equality is letting anyone gather apples on any side of the tree.

Yet sometimes you can’t choose where you come from or where you stand. Even if you let people stand where they want, some have larger hands or are taller and stronger so can gather more apples.

I don’t see a fence…

Maybe the real point of the comic is that the girl on the right is really stupid, so we should tilt the tree instead of having her lazy ass move the ladder.

ThrowawayPermanente ,

We could also just shoot the kulak on the left and take back the apples she stole from the people’s tree

Widowmaker_Best_Girl ,

Ah yes, the communist solution.

Reliant1087 ,

The revolutionary solution, not necessarily communist. Like Boston tea party and what followed

imPastaSyndrome ,

Ah yes, the communist boston tea party, French Revolution and … I dunno I don’t feel like putting more effort into this comment

Justice is Occupational health and safety inspection telling them they are not allowed to use such leaders and especially not unsupervised.

SocialMediaRefugee ,

What if one person is more skilled at apple picking or the other just wants to stand on the ground

imPastaSyndrome ,

YEAH BUT WHAT IF ONE PERSON IS MADE OF APPLES AND IS PSYCHIC? WHAT IF THE TREE WAS ABORTION? WHAT IF BEER WAS VODKA AND GOD WAS A CHICKEN?

afunkysongaday ,

FIRST ONE WOULD BE REALLY NICE BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE UNLIMITED ACCESS TO APPLES AND KNOW WHEN I WANT AN APPLE SO PROBABLY WOULD GIVE ME FREE APPLES. SECOND ONE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE BECAUSE TREES CANT GET PREGNANT SO THEY CAN NOT BE ABORTED EITHER. IF BEER WAS VODKA WE WOULD JUST WATER IT DOWN IF WE WANT A MILD BUZZ. IF GOD WAS A CHICKEN CHICKEN WOULD BE BETTER OFF.

ditherwither ,

WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?

Cinnamon3431 ,

then they’d still have the same opportunities and one could choose to stay off the ladder instead of picking apples?!

You know that’s now how trees work…

jasondj ,

OSHA gonna have a word about how they’re using those ladders…

Compactor9679 ,

Hahaha the old “they are all wrong give me stuff for free”

Pixlbabble ,

Equality of outcomes is commie speech

imPastaSyndrome ,

Wow I didn’t know communism was so based and perfect. Thanks for letting me know what system to base my belief system around, kind stranger!

cloudy1999 ,

This is a helpful explanation. The distinction between these terms is not so obvious and people believe they know the meanings without comprehending them.

imPastaSyndrome ,

Justice is killing the little boy.

Reddit is that way sir

SoNick ,

I like the boxes and fence one more, this just feels super-contrived

HonoraryMancunian ,

But that one always brings out the smug responses about how they shouldn’t be watching the game for free, totally (and purposefully) missing the point

nxfsi ,

My favorite is the meme edit where they just chop off everyone’s legs so that they end up at the same height below the fence.

Klear ,

Fatality!

Decoy321 ,

True justice would be them watering the tree or something. That dude has been giving to these little shits the whole time. Let it be The Getting Tree for once.

I like owning a home because I finally got some equality.

MeatsOfRage ,

The girl could literally just walk to the other side of the tree, there’s no actual barrier. This one is super ham-fisted because it can spark the wrong side of the debate.

DessertStorms ,
@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

it can spark the wrong side of the debate.

any discussion of the topic would though, because those who oppose the basic idea of equality, let alone equity or justice, know only how to derail and/or project, they are not interested in having a sincere discussion, because they whole heartedly believe that some people are worth less than others, and they will justify that in whatever way makes sense to them because in their mind, they're all that matters.

This is one of my least favorite Rush songs…

The Justice pic: a man yells at the kids stealing apples from his garden, while the kids are running away, loosing all the apples.
