▪️The pear meme is supposed to be a dunk on capitalism, but actually reveals its strength. The fact that pears can be grown in Argentina, harvested, kept fresh for a long journey to Thailand, packed, then shipped to America, and it costs just 63 cents for one of these is pretty efficient!
▪️The beauty of capitalism is that this arrangement of resources, out of infinite other possibilities, was discovered to be an efficient way to bring pear cups to the market. And it was all coordinated voluntarily in win-win trades. It’s pretty miraculous when you think about it.
▪️It’s the people who scoff at this being inefficient who should be ridiculed. They are the ones who are clearly ignorant of markets. Or if it really is so inefficient and wasteful, start a pear company to outcompete it, should be easy right?
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
