The Inhumans of Late Capitalism page (not to be confused with the Humans of Late Capitalism social media accounts which is a similar but entirely different horse entirely) has over 178.6k followers, all eagerly waiting for the next juicy post making fun of our dystopian everyday lives.
As many of you have probably realized by now, capitalism is far from a perfect system. But what’s the alternative? Does one even exist? Anyone who’s ever opened up a history book knows that communism isn’t an alternative—it’s just a more brutal dystopia that resulted in the deaths of millions of people. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
However, things might not be as grim nowadays as we think. For instance, Paul Mason writes in The Guardian that we might be entering the postcapitalist era without even noticing it. The forces driving this are information technology, the rise of the sharing economy, and new ways of working. Mason’s point of view is refreshing because he paints a bright and sunny picture of the future, instead of one where we’re all doomed and fighting global warming, zombies, and the plague on all fronts.
According to Mason, information technology has reduced the need for work, blurred the “edges between work and free time,” and “loosened the relationship between work and wages.” The amount we have to work will further diminish as automation increases. But that’ll still take a while because our way of thinking has yet to catch up with the power of robotics.
Mason also states that we’re “seeing the spontaneous rise of collaborative production: goods, services, and organizations are appearing that no longer respond to the dictates of the market and the managerial hierarchy. The biggest information product in the world—Wikipedia—is made by volunteers for free, abolishing the encyclopedia business and depriving the advertising industry of an estimated $3bn a year in revenue.”
In other words, we’re seeing various new forms of work, ownership, and businesses that will (in the long run) change our society as we know it. But whether or not it’ll be a postcapitalist society or something else entirely, we’ll find out in a few decades.
Hmm it's good to set boundaries for your kids en give them a sense of responsibility. But not in the way you are proposing mr Coach-dad wich sons and daughters are probably real sad en feel no self worth because you give them the feeling they are never good enough for your approval.
When youre at home all day playing games and your mom tells you to go play outside 🤡
do not buy from a company thats owned by a man who hoards billions! wealth should be distributed!!
What's wrong with a handicapped delivery guy? A job is a job, he doesn't seem to mind.
I think the bigger irony here is the disabled guy delivering food to a majority of able bodied people who are just too lazy to get off their a*s and get it themselves.
A handicapped person with a job. Thats inclusion. When did that become a bad thing
A photo with no context purely intended to manipulate emotions. No one here has a clue, whatsoever, about who this person is, or what of his situation. So let’s just make what we will of it, invent a narrative by pulling it our of our a*s, and spin it to neatly fit our own political bias. And then downvote opposing spins that don’t align with our spin. Which is the whole point of this I guess :-)
I don't get this one. What is it trying to say? Handicap people shouldn't work? Or we're supposed to know our delivery guy is handicap and do something about it? Do what, exactly? Shame Uber and get him fired? I'm so confused. My handicap uncle was a slot machine repair man and would wheel around the casino with his tools in his lap. Is that somehow also a problem? He provided a service and made a living that allowed him to live independently for most his adult life.
This is straddling the legal requirements for inclusion and exploiting the need for livelihood.
There are govt workers who are blind and workers in wheel chairs

Well, I really give this man a lot of credit. Pushing the weight of your body around in a wheelchair can really tax the body. It's hard on the arms and tough on the body. This guy is taking the initiative to work a job that is usually reserved for people who don't have as many physical limitations. Kudos for him. He has my respect. Plus, I get he gets great tips.
The only thing that disturbs me is that is a heavy assed wheelchair. Most of the people I know who use wheelchairs have small lightweight models. That has got to be miserable
tricky one this ,as many of you are inferring lots from this picture that can not be seen or known. Is he being forced to work? Or is he being allowed to work? Disability shouldn't be an inhibitor to having as normal a life as possible, in some countries like mind the government treat disabled people badly and make it hard for them to work, some people with disabilities just want equal rights but at he same time should not be forced if they are not able. We will never know the real story in this picture.
The sad thing is that he is doing his job for a company that is created to pick up and drop off people.
Heading downhill in a wheelchair with a lap full of stuff? I think this guy's up for a challenge.
Not to be "that person", but I kind of doubt he is an Uber Eats delivery guy. There is way too large a number of places that have inaccessible residents, countless amounts of places without elevators or ramps. I don't mean to be the one to say he can't do it, but I really doubt it would work unless he lived in place that was completely accessible.
WTF is wrong with the people who make these posters lol
Puccino's is well known for its often self-deprecating humour. From an advertising point of view it seems to be successful.
Imagine the homeless having to sleep on a bench like this
And it's an anti-homeless bench, too. That's not an armrest, it's too small for that... it's just meant to make it harder to sleep there.
Attention: you are expendable. You aren't special. There are others just like you now have a great day!
Frozen stickers are on bananas too and it reads "limited edition". Wtf!
But how is this bad? They're not exploiting you for money, just trying to make sure you're ok and they're trying to make sure you have a plan on getting a safe place of your own to stay
This is common. I was told to do this type of thing when I worked in retail years ago tbh.
Um, how old is this billboard? You can't touch a home in San Francisco for less than $1 million.
Over half of these have little to nothing to do with capitalism, and almost all of the posts are people just whining about modern society.
I don't know which one is more depressive, the post or the some comments here. Many people can't even dream a better world anymore. Even after seeing all these obviously unacceptable examples first thing they do is to take time a try to advocate "business". Even that student loan advertisement should be enough to stfu with your "business is good" b******t for a moment. Just shut up for a moment!! This is coming from a recent graduate with 30k education debt. You know, kind of a debt many of you were not familiar in your college years.
Um, socialism has quite the dark side as well if you do your research.
And all aspects of that can be trickled down to capitalism. If you mean communism, then I will agree with you there. No great power should be given to one person, or a group of persons. Socialism is a community effort though. If you are talking about failures in socialized medicine, then that can all be attributed to certain people wanting to make profit on medicine (capitalism) and influencing the government through funding...

And all you are using all the tools of "late capitalism" biching about "late capitalism".
Do we have a f*cking choice though? What's wrong with wanting things to be better? We can still have THIS but in an improved way!

Fight, fight, fight every aspect of this mass consumerism every way possible. Resist, resist, resist the allure and expansion of these mindless profiteers. Let your life be a resistance to the machine!!!
I got too sick of the pro-laissez-faire capitalism comments from cultists to keep looking through this list.
Capitalism literally rewards people for meeting other people's needs. Socialism brings whole nations into poverty. You probably thinking of 'consumerism', not 'capitalism'.
Load More Replies... Whomever is a socialist and gets triggered by capitalism: F**K YOU. Capitalism has lifted more people out of the worst conditions people can live in than anything else in history. F**K YOU for being a hypocrite and using the tools of capitalism to bash it. F**K YOU for wanting to go socialist and hurt.......absolutely everything. You are ignorant. You may as well say "Let them eat cake"
Yep. You simply can't want a better life for yourself or the people around you. Also stop using the word "triggered" for such a minor complaint please.

Lotta depressing s**t in there. Mostly depressing because 1 - someone thought it would work and, 2 it worked...
You shouldn't use lazy comparisons to try to prove a point. On the capitalistic/socialist spectrum the US is far more capitalistic than western Europe but the US has much worse corruption at this time. Full capitalism is just as bad as full socialism. You just don't realize that there aren't really any fully capitalistic countries that exist to compare to a full socialist country. The US, Western Europe, China and Japan all have a mix of socialism and capitalism. A good balance of the two is what works best right now.
