    What the fuck is with this thread being overrun with dickheads? Is this the breaking point, has Lemmy reached critical mass?

    The image represents how capitalism uses the myth of scarcity. There’s a bed there, and there’s a human being sleeping on the ground. The lie is that there isn’t enough to go around; that somebody has to go without.

    That’s bullshit. We have everything.

      The annoying thing is that there will very likely be a homeless shelter in this city that he’s not allowed to sleep in because they have a zero tolerance drug policy.

      The message is that you deserve nothing and must earn everything, not that there isn’t enough to go around.

    You’re not using your bed right now. Are you letting a homeless person sleep in it?

      That’s not a contradiction. Your, my, and everyone’s bed is for sleeping in. The beds in that store are for accumulation of wealth. This displays the harsh efficiencies of capitalism, because the people in the most need for a bed cannot afford to have one.

        I belive the beds in a store that sells beds are either to be sold or to help you choose a bed. They are not “fuck you, see how many beds i have” beds
