Actually, this is what you're fighting for in Capitalism:
Not for yourself, though, rather for a few who add up to less than 0.0000375% of Humanity.

Weren't they going to build a 5-mile wide boat that looked like a turtle. Where's that, I'm fighting for that.
This is the kind of socialist hellscape the capitalist is protecting us from.
Edit: Dense mixed used urban development, biking to work, walking to your nearest weekly market, buying unprocessed food for groceries and common public area easily accessible by foot for old people where they can mix with other generations.
Hmm but what if I want to make thousands of people work for me without giving any excess value created by their labour to anyone else?
All these pictures are from capitalist countries
No, honey, we have European Cities at home

First that shit is not something you can pop like candy, your teeth can and will fall off if you use it as a "basic" antibiotics (which you shouldn't be using as anyways without a pressing need? These things are nuclear bombs in your system, you might experience organ failure just from one pill excessive use)
Second the Chinese quality pills usage have been leading all of us to an antibiotic resistance catastrophe
Fun times when this things will be needed and they won't even work anymore thanks to overuse
Such an old and simple antibiotic
Bottom right pic hits hard. I plan to die in some fashion long before that. Fuck planning or saving for retirement if it doesn't matter.
In other news, Denmark raised their retirement age to 70 recently, and our conservatives in the US have been squawking about the same. LOL.
What the fuck is the point of this shit existence for anyone who can't become rich as a celebrity or wall street psycho? 90% of us are just here so the wealthy can have yachts, Lamborghinis, and mansions.
This place sucks.
The right wing party in Australia (a few elections ago) increased retirement age but with a "rolling date". Meaning they all get to retire on time with the earlier date but the later you were born the later your retirement age. They literally set their retirement age in stone then fucked younger generations on their way out. It's still currently rolling out, recently increased to 67 in 2023.
(In more ways than one bit this one is particularly obvious and idk how they got away with it).
I fight for managed democracy
Truly Managed Democracy is a mellifluous clarion, ringing throughout the galaxy
Don't you miss: 
EDIT: Oh dang, people don't like to fight for this either :(
In Yugoslavia it was actually quite the opposite. Old commie blocks in Serbia all have big green spaces around them and playgrounds, while new buildings are all built on top of each other with no room to breathe and no greenery in sight.
though this pic is in winter, and there could well be a bunch of trees just to the right off-camera
(also the cars and the satellite dish give away that this is what a commieblock looks 50 years after being built)

But at least I get funkopops
First one looks okay to me, id love to have my own quiet home
Cars, yeah no, i don't like to drive
I don't get the funky pops and the old man houses, might as well complain about action figures and schools
Neighborhoods like that are not quiet and you'll be driving everywhere because there's nothing other than more houses for miles.
Plus it's not saying that houses are bad, it's saying that single family homes in exclusively residential zones are bad.
Action figures are toys that people buy for their children to play with. Funko pops represent worthless plastic trash that people buy because of marketing brainwashing.
And "old man house"? oh ok I can see I that I've wasted my time.
It’s so odd how much hate pop figures get, from people whose apartments are filled with anime posters and figures
In general, I think it comes down to the fact that they all just look low effort. They’re formulaic, which to someone who puts out passionate art, it’s kind of just insulting.
And as much as I hate to say it, that’s all preference. I don’t personally think they’re “wrong” or “not art”. Just not very well done or original.

"You don't like this thing, yet you do like this other, different thing that falls into a vaguely same broad category. Curious."
I'm not into anime but I definitely think Funko pops are hideous and not cute at all
