Thank you for moving day naps higher on the list.
Why add a symbol that is almost solely used by totalitarian governments?
The hammer and sickle remains commonplace in self-declared socialist states, such as China, Cuba, North Korea, Laos, and Vietnam, but also some former Soviet republics following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, such as Belarus and Russia.

Are there any countries that use the symbol that are actually nice places to live with good governments?
I can’t tell if you’re being ignorant or disingenuous. The Ⓐ should be a clue as to my opinion on government in general, no? As for ☭ - check the first sentence of the article you linked. Or the description written under it, for what I meant to invoke.
I am no USSR apologist. I just consider that symbol useful as a marker for worker solidarity.
I don’t disagree, just a quite reminder that not everyone can afford this. The meme doesn’t say it but it gives “money doesn’t buy happiness” vibes and while this isn’t false, a certain amount of money is required for this.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the picture, but I thought that’s why they were called luxuries - because not everyone gets to have them. Though they aren’t what we usually associate with a luxurious lifestyle.
E: just to be clear, everyone should have them, but many are too occupied with the daily battle for survival.
Yeah this is lowkey a boogie meme - the majority of people don’t live in a work situation that allows for day naps!
How do we call something that the majority of people can’t afford ?
A luxury
We call it expensive, which is a subtlety that the title of this meme poopooing on “consumerism” is missing out on.
Hence, a boogie meme. Those of us down here in the dirt don’t have time for these luxuries; we consume imitations.
The weird thing about this is, a few of these things are rather hard once you have kids. Don’t know the last time when I slept alone in my bed or had a slow morning. But well, you get other things in return, like the pure love of you children so it’s fine haha.
That’s because we destroyed the primitive communal family to create the nuclear family. Humans throughout most of history would raise their children collectively, rather than all the responsibility just being dumped directly onto the parents.
And they wonder why we don’t have kids lol
In a world where most must sell their time for money to survive, free time is true luxury.
Sell your kids on the black market. Poof! Free time.
President Milei I didn’t know you were on the fediverse!
