I find this meme funny. But also it says a lot about or society how the “big muscle men” is the “cool ones” while the young women are the “cringe ones”, this meme format feels kind of iffy in that sense.
They're "cool" as in confident, but they are wrong. So the confidence is displayed as blind bravado
History gone woke for good and I'm tired of pretending this is ok. We need our foundation myths. How else are we supposed to keep our nation states running if we don't have a shared origin just because it's "factually false"? What does that even mean? How else will be keep capitalism alive if we say "barter doesn't work" and "tragedy of commons"? I know barter never really existed and there are many moneyless economic systems and that the tragedy of commons is empirically disproven but don't let wokeness win! Facts don't care about your feelings and nation states and capitalism is fact!
I know barter never really existed
Not this myth again. Barter exists and was widespread. It exists alongside exchange of units of value in societies where the money supply in insufficient (often pre-modern) or when the currency is unreliable or volatile (often modern).
Isn't tragedy of the commons just how companies will always dump their toxic waste in the river if nobody stops them
That is one application of the idea. Most people use the concept to privatize commonly owned or state own things which ironically leads to companies that destroy rivers and stuff. There is research on which criteria make a common work and it's not surprising that the ownership model that was predominant for a long while actually work despite the fact that some white guy had a thought experiment and said it can't possibly work.
I don't know if people didn't catch the sarcasm or if they really think like that
This reads like a shitty attempt to start a new copypasta.
I don't even care if that's what will happen
