Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

The poorest people in the world have ...

Misinformation

Bruh thinks that the people so poor they dont even have access to clean water and safe living conditions have washing machines and fridges. lol

This is going to blow your mind, but average household appliances only cost a fortune when you're buying them in a place that expects you to spend a fortune. None of this actually costs much money to produce anymore, so no, restricting unlimited growth isn't going to force you to get a washboard and bucket to do your laundry.

I would challenge you to go visit average towns in places like Indonesia, India, Philippines and look at how everyone has a phone, a computer, televisions and microwaves.

Yes, clean water and even consistent electricity is always a struggle, but again, these places are poor as shit, but they have the things we depend on for our modern lifestyles, and your image of what worldwide poverty looks like is massively biased by capital who wants you to fear being without it. It's like an abusive partner who makes you think you'll never do better than them.

Imagine if the US or UK, places with incredible wealth, resources and infrastructure, were to give people their basic needs, AND offer clean water and health care.
