The image is a meme featuring three men standing and chatting in a room, smiling as if sharing a lighthearted conversation. The text at the top states, "sharing memes in late-stage capitalism be like." Below them, another caption says, "It's weird, because the situation really isn't funny.”

The image shows a poster designed in a playful and satirical manner, parodying the style of the Dr. Seuss “all the places you’d go” It features a character holding onto a large, striped balloon in pink and yellow, against a backdrop of a stylized, rustic landscape. The poster reads, "Oh, the Places You'd Go! If You Weren’t Oppressed by Wage Labor & Class Society”

This image is a meme based on the "Is this a pigeon?" format. It features a character from an anime, often used in this meme, who is labeled as "Americans." The character is gesturing towards a butterfly labeled "Failures of capitalism happening right in front of them." Below, the character is asking, "Is this Communism?"

Residents of Charleston County are calling for an ethical investment policy to stop funding companies like Elbit Technologies, which they say are complicit in human rights violations.

Get the details!

#CharlestonCounty #SC #CitizenPortal #HumanRightsViolations #CorporateAccountability
Residents urge council to consider an ethical investment policy and raise concerns about Elbit and county incentives
Multiple speakers used the public-comment period to urge Charleston County to adopt an ethical investment policy similar to Alameda County’s and to call for scrutiny of local incentives and tax breaks to companies they said are involved in human-rights concerns, specifically naming Elbit; no formal council action was taken.

Much of reactionary centrism as a media project can be summed up as preening, thin skinned elites who may furrow their brow at the existence of unjust institutions. But who actually believe that the real existential threats are those who affirmatively want to do something to change it.
