also more like 1,000,000 kids on the left side of the tree, but go ahead and waste time and energy and money catering to the fringe mental disorders

exactly this

We used to lock these people up in institutions.

Also trees grow toward the sunlight for a reason. The last panel would just end with less apples.

Someone posted before about a Soviet Communist who came up with a type of Communism to apply to plants... that if you drummed up plants on cooperation or Communist rhetoric, they would grow closer together and be more productive, and all the previous Botonist were just Capitalist stooges.

Needless to say... famine followed where his ideas were tried...

I read a book about a guy who worked in the fishery industry in the Soviet Union during the 20s and 30s, the way they destroyed a booming industry was amazing.

Here’s the book: https://archive.org/details/ispeakforthesile013752mbp. “I speak for the silent” by Vladimir Tchernavin.

The last picture should have shown that the government took those boards from those kids ladders, and now both of them have to just stand under the tree, and wait for handouts.

The first one should at least show the left-side kid with a ladder. The implication here is that white folks just stand there with our hands out and free shit falls into our laps.

Then the second panel should be the first kid sharing half his apples with the other kid, who sits there on the ground stuffing his face as the first kid keeps working.

In panel three the first kid quits and takes his ladder home while the other kid is crying "dat's rayciss", so the government confiscates everything and promises to distribute the apples fairly.

And finally in the last one it's just a couple of skeletons lying on the ground because the apples rotted away in a warehouse and everyone starved to death in the midst of abundance.

That's what socialist equality really looks like.

The kid on the right in the first pannel is the white one and the tree is the crooked government throwing gibs to colored folks.

This entire meme is fucked beyond belief. It is Commie gaslighting in the extreme.

Perfect analogy. Their solution requires changing nature to work.

Reality:

Unstable boards fall, knocking down left kids ladder. He gets impaled on one. Tree which was previously growing towards the sun produces less fruit and eventually withers and dies.

I know it's a metaphor, but... there are at least ten different solutions here that don't require any "intervention".

Use an apple picker.

Shake the tree.

Climb the tree.

Find a different tree.

Plant your own tree, instead of stealing.

Pay someone else to pick the apples.

Go harvest peaches.

Raise animals instead of growing fruit.

...really, people do best when they have a challenge.

I still remember learning about this retarded concept as a kid. I thought the whole thing was silly, impossible and that the people supporting this line of thinking should just give up their futile efforts immediately. Because it takes less grief and pain to just accept your imperfections than trying to warp reality so that you are no longer the loser.

I was a kid. Probably 9-10 years old. And I had already outgrown communism. I guess kids don't understand the evil of these people. You have to be psychotically envious to support this.

You can tell these idiots never had a real job. OSHA loves when you stand on top of a step ladder.

Maga_bigly 3 points ago +3 / -0

Seriously! It seems they've never even seen a ladder in person, there's a giant No Step warning at the top of every ladder.

At least this one is better than the other one. The one where they're trying to watch a sports game without paying for a ticket.

The last one should be the government solution which is to cut the tree down so everyone can reach the apples without a ladder. Of course the trees now dead but what does the government care that there will be no more apples?

its almost like they dont know how ladders work

If you're too dumb to walk to the side of the tree that drops apples no amount of help will fix that.

The apples on the tall side of the tree don't fall all the way to the ground because Newtonian laws are racist.

It would be more accurate if for equity, you just cut off the left kid's arms off

How about just expecting others to use their brains, and moving to the other side where their are more apples to drop. Or even better, work with the one picking the apples by holding their ladder and then sharing whats picked. But of course we have millions of failures in our country who refuse to work with us or use their own brains.

Kid on the right is 'black culture' celebrating thug lifestyle, fatherless families, government handouts, etc. They just need to move the ladder over to our side, accept family values, work for themselves, and start obeying the fucking law.

"Justice" seems to mean that the government will keep you stupid enough not to learn how to work together, move your ladder, learn to build a better ladder, learn to build a better tool.... the system needs to be fixed because you are too stupid...

Who would have thought equality wasn’t the actual endgame? It was just a slippery slope to equity and ultimately authoritarianism. All of these transactions incur a debt to Darwinism and the bill is coming due rapidly with interest. A Darwinian market correction if you will.

The inequality one is wrong. They both have the same chance of catching a falling apple. That's just luck.

why the pickers gotta be white?

Also did you notice how after the tree gets bent into shape that apples magically were more plentiful and evenly distributed?

How does physics/biology work there?

First it was Equal Opportunity. Then it was Affirmative Action. Right now it is active suppression of "privileged" class citizens. Next it will be genocide.

None of these arethe problem. The problem is people's perception of these things that lead thdm to believe life is a baord game and somehow there are celestial rules to make sure everyone gets to the finish line at the same time.
