Americans are innovating people into cage homes, meanwhile China is getting people out of them.
American cagification: wholesome freedom and democracy
Chinese decagification: Totalitarianism 1984
Uighur Genocide is when you build a city center, establish industrial jobs, introduce utilities and amenities, and incorporate a neighborhood into the mass transport grid.
I wish China would genocide me, it would be an improvement really

Under communism, the people own nothing. You can’t imagine that under capitalism.

Yeah, I should probably specify the name of the meme when I post it. I feel like something gets lost when I fail to do so.
that’s the legacy method off calling emojis on hexbear :yeomi-park:
You can call hexbear emojis in any instance with
Saved Thank you so much, comrade! Expect much greater emoji-work from me from here on out!
So, how can we untangle the “live in pod eat bug” meme from its far-right history? Because I really want to ask how far this is from the nearest insect cafeteria
Today, you’re going to be told that eating bugs is soy and its destroying masculinity.
Tomorrow, every fucking “get fit in 30 days” self-help Joe Rogan knock off is going to tell you that eating powdered bug meal is the fastest way to maximize your inner potential and hustle harder.
I don’t understand why they are so anti eating bug. What’s the connection
It’s gross. “You are going to eat beans” isn’t nearly as evocative as “you will eat bugs”. Insect agricultural also gets thrown out there by
types as a potential way to reduce carbon emissions, so every once in a while they get a headline to froth atSure it’s gross if you don’t consider how to cook them I don’t understand how shrimp and mussels are food but crickets and locusts aren’t
Also lobster. If those weird-ass sea bugs taste that good, surely weird-ass land bugs must taste good.
You get better gains from ants than anything else
You are what you eat after all and look how strong they are
You’ve just given me an amazing idea. Does anyone on here have a cricket contact?
Gulag 🙁☹️🙁
Living pod 😊☺️☺️$30/day
Have you considered eating less?
Have you considered not taking on all that student debt?
Have you considered turning the A/C up to 85° during the summer?
Have you considered getting married for tax purposes?
Have you considered living in a flop house?
Hey, why aren’t you having any kids?
Every other month some techbro dipshit solves the housing crises with his new idea that’s been used a thousand times before by other startup dipshits
love to reinvent the workhouse, but this time gentrified
Next from my “Sorry to Bother You” to-do list, I’ll unveil my solution to the employment crisis: Equisapiens! 
Very good observation. The movie was very much inspired by the prison industrial complex, which did learn from camps, prisons, forced mining camps and soldier barracks.
Oh hey literal gulags. Gulags for lanyards lmao

South African miners’ or prisoners’ beds in Gauteng differ by not having mattresses and a ladder in terms of configuration from OP’s picture.
Capitalism will always fall back onto itself. If you want to know what Capitalism will do look into apartheid South Africa and how much evil was there. Landlords goals will be to increase the number of people to the profit maximum, which will be more than one person per bed.
I feel that the limit to that i.e. concentration/extermination camps will have racial, antisemitic, colonial or fascist elements to it, as the goal is then often not the maximization of profit, but the minimization of cost (there are some Marxist-ish influenced Historians who roughly make that point in regard to the destruction through labour during Hitlerism’s holocaust).
Contrast the SF flat with a museum’s flat from the GDR which was produced on scale starting in 1973.
Other relevant terms might be coffin homes (Singapour, HK under British rule and the after effects of it) or cage homes.
Waiting for lemmy liberals to come in here and mouth off about how the GDR was ackshually a continuation of Hitlerian fascism and socialist apartments are evil because they’re “spiritual gulags”.
Yes I’ve actually heard that in real life.
Not the worst example though. In DC they used to have a “Newseum” where they put up a fragment of the Berlin Wall and had “freedom and democracy” painted on the floor on the West German side and “authoritarian oppression” on the East German side. The same “museum” also had a “freedom index” on the map, and yes it’s exactly what you expect it to be
It was really illuminating in that it showed that the most complex political analysis liberals can muster is just one thought-terminating cliche after another.
because they’re “spiritual gulags”.
Yes I’ve actually heard that in real life.
On the plus side the newseum did have the Unabombers cabin, so that was cool

Building affordable housing
…but it’s as uncomfortable as possibleIt’s not housing it’s servents quarters.
$900/month isn’t even cheap for not having your own room.
Federal minimum wage is $1160 a month before taxes (assuming 40 hours a week, which is also pretty unlikely for minimum wage jobs).
I know this is San Fran, and CA minimum wage is bumping up to $16/hr in January, so it’s really only 35% of your gross income for worse accommodations than a college dorm.
such is life in the best of all possible worlds
Death to America
