No you nailed it. The meme is a poor metaphor because it implies that the system has ever been superman or that OP believes it to have been superman.

Or that capitalism only behaves like Homelander when times are tough.

For many people Capitalism has always treated them like Homelander. For many people they’ve never seen the Superman fascade.

So this meme reads as though the creator only recently learned some world history, or has some privilege in life but is becoming aware of reality for others.

You could also fix it by just having Homelander say “I’m you!”

Both images should be homelander.

This meme’s got the spirit, but not a great visual metaphor

Oh ok, well here are the images with no effort needed on your part. I’m sorry I’ve done wrong and needed correcting.

Here are the images if you don’t want to follow OPs link to download a zip file.

News in 30 days: Digestive Parasites are up 70,000% in Eastern Ukraine.

Reality: You weren’t ever getting those hostages back. They’re much more useful as symbols in the US than as people in Israel.

The 50 year old man with his face as his PFP and his full legal name as his username publicly commenting on the 17 year old influencers beach vacation picture:

“Lookin good sweaty 😈😘😍💦🤞🥰😈”

The mushroom creature has stayed with me for more than 30 years.

Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding BANAAANAAPHOOOOONE!

Anyone who has beliefs that violate the social contract should not be protected by it.

Good news! The mortality rate is so high it’s unlikely to spread as far as COVID!

I wonder if he was swapped to set up a new patsy for the failing war. No window treatment makes me wonder.

It’s a very fitting quote for an ad barrage

This is fun because I have no idea what this is because I was immediately bombarded with ads.

This is actually a sign of rampant corruption. Bribery is a tight market, and with a lot of politicians willing to accept bribes the cost drops significantly. It’s one of the few areas where capitalism behaves as believed.

Pick a position and stick with it for more than a single comment:

It is not protest for the sake of protest, but mostly “convenience”.

It is a protest using existing social expectations of dress code, it’s not just about comfort.

“Protest for the sake of protest” is nonsense. By definition they’re doing it for the sake of something. That something is not convenience, it’s the 996 work culture like the subject of the article.

You have completely flipped the context of the quote. It’s not just comfort for comforts sake, it’s also a way of protesting the 996 work culture of China.

The article is definitely stating that this is a protest, your quote is about a fringe benefit.

Social media users have joked that if you wear your favorite outfit to work, it’ll be contaminated by the “Ban Wei” as the office vibe creeps into your personal life.

The remaining option: wear your gross clothes to the office.

Candise Lin who creates content on TikTok exploring cultural trends in China, broke down this viral trend in a recent video.

She used an example of one blogger who said that they only wears clothes with holes in them to work to reflect their “crappy job and shabby pay.”

Clearly stated like 2 paragraphs after your quote.

At least read the article before commenting. They’re dressing this way on purpose against the wishes of their employers.
