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.
Considering the tree was in its own enclosure, I am willing to assume something was wrong with the tree - disease or other. Hopefully, another will be planted to replace it.
Trees don't live forever- just because someone said something & it's often quoted, doesn't make it true or correct.
No, it had a heart-rot disease that had damaged it, or killed it, so they cut it down.

What is extraordinary in the eyes of one human is nothing special in the eyes of another.
When the limbs begin to fall off the tree onto your house, and heavy enough to breach the roof sheathing and bring water damage right behind it, and the tree is beyond mere pruning in order to correct years of growth and a lack of maintenance, you have no choice but to take down the tree. Planting the right kind of trees is paramount when planning landscaping and tree planting. In subdivisions, usually the house was there before the tree. The owner who planted a tree that would exceed the safe perimeter limits in relation to the house wasn't a capitalist pig, but rather an amateur arborist who wasn't planning to be around when the lack of tree knowledge came down on his or her old house. I have a house that needs to have two of the three large trees in the yard removed. I've rented this property for over 18 years. I've never turned a profit in those 18 years; in fact, it has cost me over $250K being a benevolent, caring, landlord. Socialism doesn't work; my trees agree.
"Socialism doesn't work..." LOL Sounds like the Republican propaganda got to you, hey? LOL Then don't use Medicare or Medicaid when you get old (or if you don't have medical insurance--assuming you live in the U.S.), or Social Security. Don't use the highway system, or fire-fighters, police, or other social services run by the government your taxes pay for that serve the public. Dropping the diss against socialism in your comment didn't make much sense, as the two had no connection in the comment.That said, I do happen to agree with your comments regarding the placement of large trees in relation to houses & other buildings. Some species have extensive & very strong root-systems that can cause a LOT of damage by undermining your foundation, getting into your pipes, & so on. It's not just "death from above" a house-owner has worry about. A home-owner could use smaller shrubs, or use tress that keep to neater forms and smaller sizes & roots profiles, plantings close to the house (not right up against--that causes other issues, like humidity that can cause damage to wood cladding, or a cement foundation, the mortar between stones, etc), or flowering beds, & use the larger trees further out to cast any shade you might want for energy conservation & comfort, & beauty. :-)

Some pictures just can't be judged by what is shown. We really have no idea why this tree was cut down. Maybe it was diseased and dying, and close to falling over.
It was diseased and dying. A person upthread mentioned a kind of wood-rot that had probably killed the tree.

There are many genuine reasons why a tree might need to be taken down
Heartbreaking. I can't imagine being a relative of Mr. Ramos and walking past "his tree" one day only to discover this atrocity.
plz just pls dont tell me there used to be tree there and just cut it down pls someone tell me they did not do pls 8d1-5e3d64...e1a033.gif 
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!!
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.
Note: this post originally had 63 images. It’s been shortened to the top 35 images based on user votes.
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'.

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.

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.
