Updated: Sep 1


this image has an illustrated image of the comic book character Carnage, which looks like a red scary spider man with claws. ithe text says "fuck, while we're at it, lower the fucking maximum wage, abolish billionaires." there is a photo of jeff bezos and mark zuckerberg.

on the left hand side is a poster that says "union dues cost around $700 a year. a new video game system with the latest hits sounds like fun. put your money towards that instead of paying dues to the union." on the right side are two photos of homer simpson. he says "aww, higher wages? I wanted a video game!" his eyes are wide and he is looking at some dollar bills. the second image of him says "brain: higher wages can buy many video games"

this is the cover of dr. seuss's book called "oh the places you will go", which has an illustrated kid standing on top of a colorful swirly tower. instead of the regular title, the text says "oh, the hoops you'll jump through to justify police brutality!"

this is a two panel meme. on the left is a photo of a black woman with a large orange dress on. the text says "jeff bezos". on the right is a close-up of the purse she is wearing which is white and really tiny, probably a couple of inches in length. the text says "jeff bezos charitable donations".

this image looks like a 1950s magazine ad. it features a white woman with a blue dress who is holding a pile of laundry. she looks like the stereotypical housewife. to the right the text says "philanthropy exists to launder the reputations of the rich! and serves to replace public institutions with private ones!" there are several additional images of laundry and cleaning.

this image has a black woman who is smiling and holding a notepad to take food orders. she is a server at a restaurant. she has a white hat on and a blue dress. the text says "workers deserve more than $15 an hour. workers deserve it all! everything. every fucking thing." there is a logo that looks like a burger king logo which is in the shape of a hamburger bun.

at the top of the image it says "billionaire alignment chart" which is a take on the dungeons and dragons game. there are 9 headshots of billionaires, such as bill gates, warren buffett, elon musk, tim cook, richard branson, and others. underneath each of them it says "lawful evil".

this is a four panel meme. the first one at the top shows a black and white skull and the text says "call in sick". the next image is a red skeleton and the text says "go in high" (into work is what it means). the next image is a multicolor skeleton with text that says "go in high and steal stuff". the last image is a skeleton with a hat who looks like a union organizer. the text says "go in high and start a union"

this is a two panel meme. on the top is a cartoon of a girl with pink hair and shirt, holding her hand up and looking away in disgust. the text says "more female CEOs". the second image is the same girl, who is pointing in agreement and smiling. the text says "no ceos".

this is a two panel meme. the top image shows a young woman of color with a green apron, stocking bananas at the grocery store. the text says "frontline workers are not heroes". the second image is the same woman, smiling and looking in a different direction. the text says "they're hostages." there is a hand pointing a gun at the woman and the text says "work or starve."
