Rothmus really making a mockery of the black flag their.

I don't think mice understand the concept of something not being free tbh. It ain't like they go around with little mouse wallets filled with little mice money and little mice credit cards.

It's not free. It comes from our taxes. School lunch is free for the kid, and paid for by taxes.

And if you think that's a bad thing, then why does the military give free lunches to its soldiers?

Socialism is where the mouse gets the cheese. Capitalism is where the cheese looks free, then you try to get it.

Yeah when you are about to join a workers collective Karl Marx is waiting to hit you on the head with a comically large flyswatter

Dear corporations, is this why we can access your apps websites for free? You are not stealing our information, selling them to data brokers and advertisers, and weaponising our interests to vote against our own interests, do you?

I dunno man, when I do a critical theory examination of the mousetrap system, it doesn't seem to involve the cheese at all but the fact that some powerful bastard wound up a spring.

The mouse trap is capitalism, the cheese is your retirement.

Somebody really not understanding what free means…

Social protections are not free, we all pay into them. Europe has much higher tax rates than US. These tax rates are there to pay for healthcare, public services, education, and a host of employee protections (infinite sick leave, significant maternal leave, various forms of care leave, protections from exploitation and unfair dismissals…)

Our grandfathers fought for it, so we can live a healthy work life next to a healthy personal life. And every day we fight to find the correct balance to maintain this system.

Unless… are taxes the trap??

All what mouse eat is free.

Let's consider what's happening in Gaza with the hungry being shot. Let's then consider those in the US needing healthcare. Underying similarities and the opposite of socialism

Who moved my cheese?

Somewhere, a cow is mooing at the metaphor

The mouse trap exists to prevent the indigenous population (mice) from sharing in the bounty of their land, so the colonizers can hoard it all.

Yeah we tried that also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_cheese

Tell me more about this mouse economy.

Socialism has cool stuff because it is designed to kill you obviously lmao

Whose money goes into socialism? Which government has ever shared said money with the general public. Y'all haven't watched hunger games and it shows.
