He thinks Capitalism is a Meritocracy

Merit is defined as value provided to the market.

Nobody says you have to care. You should just be aware of the benefits and opportunities you have enjoyed vs others who are not as fortunate.

This is what wagecucks believe.

People seem to think there's just one straight path to life:
Be born -> study -> get a job -> start a family -> die
Either you become succesfull in that small window of time between studying and starting a family or you'll be stuck were you are forever.

The situation in the comic is like a single trader trying to compete with fucking wallstreet, obviously it's not going to work out.

This comic makes me so fucking angry. Why does everyone in our modern society try to be a victim?
The stupid cartoon doesnt even see the irony:

>Watching tele while other children do their homework
>Party hard with da guurlz in high school while other children pay attention during class
>Is content with average grades instead of working to improve them
>Retard parents dont invest their money in something their children can inherit
>Respectable employers don't want a bitter, lazy woman, who blames others for their mistakes, working for them
>Waaaah why is the world so mean and unfair

I despise such people

Problem is it's want and not need, and that want is artificially created by companies forbidding the availability of alternative products through bribes or theft, lying through their teeth, price fixing, advance-selling nonexistent solutions to problems that nobody actually has (and then publishing pr articles in important news venues through connections and not due to meaningfulness both pretending the problem exists and pretending the nonexistent solution is the best out there to rope in investors and sell the company before any product is anywhere near in sight), etc.

The worst is that it does a great disservice to the cause it pretends to care about. In this comic, everything you say is correct, but in real life, cheap schools have shit teachers who don't care to the point they won't even teach half the material present in exams, whereas at good schools, the teachers focus on maximizing student score by spending more time on exam material and less on anything else. The problem is that this snowballs: get good grades at a good school and you get a scholarship at an even greater school. Do poorly at a bad school and you can't even pay your way into said school. Worse: the good school student could have had WORSE grades than the bad school student and STILL get in over the bad school students because people at good schools are usually awarded bonus points for simply having attended that school and not another when their dossier is evaluated.
Kids are too young to help themselves before it's too late: they don't have the money, knowledge, or reason (they don't know the impact this has) to get better grades on their own. And poor families certainly can't afford a tutor.
Instead of pointing all of this out, the comic makes it about race despite the fact that's anti-relevant (non-whites get in free anywhere regardless of grades), and makes it clear the kid and parents were the problem and nobody else. Here, it's in fact true that nobody helped the guy and he got where he was by himself.

How did you get to race no one mentioned race

> Why would a teacher be tired and stressed teaching kids like Paula?
Have you ever been to a shitty school?
My teachers would have to spend about 40 minutes out of every lesson trying to calm down Tyrone and She-leyata chimping out and starting fights.

Nobody plans to have kids. It's just what happens when you're horny because condoms are for cucks.

A virgin like you wouldn't know that though.

One is called richard and is a man and the other is called paula and is a woman.

I don't think they were playing a race angle there desu, if they did at best it's some lowkey stuff but the focus of the comic is clearly still on class

>My teachers would have to spend about 40 minutes out of every lesson trying to calm down Tyrone and She-leyata chimping out and starting fights.
You mean shitty kids go to shitty schools? Maybe..shitty kids MAKE shitty schools? Maybe Paula is just another shitty kid? No... it can't be.

That's the point I was trying to make dummy.

It doesnt change anything the core of it is still relevant even if you changed Paula to Paul

Shitty parents make shitty kids, unless it's the case of sociopaths.

Making the right decisions is still a bit of a gamble.
For example, a year ago I heard there's a shortage of engineers and other STEM related jobs in my country. What if I went to uni and tried becoming some kind of engineer, just to find out a lot of other people did the same and I'm not in high demand anymore?
It's a lot more simple with jobs like garbageman because you haven't made a big investment to be qualified to be one.

Easy solution would be to just don't go to uni and go into trades instead, but I gotta admit that'd hurt my ego a lot after spending years to be qualified for uni.

Kids aren't responsible for running the school. It's the responsibility of the school staff to deal with improper behavior.

Kek, I can't actually believe what the fuck I'm reading.

Don't you mean the shitty genetic code that is contained within the parents DNA?

No one ever cIaimed that everyone is born in an equaI position, what we claim is that free money for nothing, taken from someone else who is signing payslips, isn't going to help improve anything in the long run.

Dumb commies.

I'm of the opinion that your socioeconomic situation will influence you more than genes

America's fault for not having a propper school system.
Glad I wasn't born there and didn't have to go to school with a bunch of dumbfucks.

what i dont understand is the right's cuckoldry towards the job creators and their acceptance of living a shit life of struggle for years just in favor of profit

They think they will be successful if they just work hard enough.

I grew up in Paula's house, with Paula's parents.

What that comic doesn't talk about is Paula's parents terrible, obsessive spending habits, constant poor decisions, lack of ability to put themselves in the shoes of another mind, to clean up their home, ensure the child has a stable environment, or even comprehend the child needs some quiet and stability, the addictions that the parents refuse to beat and go into themselves, when confronted, the self denial, the scoffing at things that make people successful, the roody-poo filled classes at the ruined school, full of other bad decision makers, raised by bad decision makers, people who go to work, make minimum wage, bring it home, pay their bills then burn through the rest of it in two days then complain they have no money omgggg.

The richfag is retarded, but in a different way, but don't make it out to be princess vs the pauper, take it as someone who grew up in column B, because if you do, all you are doing is giving poor people more money to fuck up with.

>here's always that stress of not being as good as your father/mom/sibling

This isn't always the case just like the hardworking poor people example you gave isn't always the case. There are lazy fucks in both class, the only difference is how comfortably one of those lazy fucks get to live.

>Why aren't Paula's parents doing okay?
Because their parents didn't do okay. There's a limited amount of time and resources in life. Of course there are cases where people can work hard from the bottom to the top but first you have to be in a reasonable position to do so. For example, someone who grew up in a middle-class/rich family and got a car as soon as they were old enough to drive won't be able to understand that there are people out there who have to use slower ways to go around. Something like having reliable transportation leads to more opportunities with less effort. That's just one small example but the point I'm trying to make is that sometimes reality doesn't allow people to push themselves up to a higher state in life easily.
>Why is Paula's house full of people?
Cheap apartment. Public housing. Big family. Etc...
>What documented impact does not having parents around their children at some arbitrary hour of the day have on life outcomes?
>"What documented impact does not having the people responsible for your well-being around enough while you're young to guide your progress?"

>What is the relevance of large class sizes?
Lower teacher:student ratio means a more individualized learning experience. The larger the class the less a teacher is able to give each student help when they need it.

His daddy got him his job, that sounds like getting help

Capitalism with strong social safety net and programs to improve social mobility rather than encourage welfare-dependence are the way to go
I spent my early childhood living in literal crack dens and crisis accomodation because my parents were literal crackheads. Now thanks to the gov support they're both working full-time, and I'm 6 months away from graduating with an MD.

Good questions

>What tangible benefit does "funding" provide to a school?
Same idea that the quality of the resources available is proportional to the quality of a person's learning experience. A school where every student has access to a computer has the ability to teach its students certain skills more easily. With teaching a skill like programming a school with student computers has a clear advantage over a school that doesn't.
Why would a teacher be tired and stressed teaching kids like Paula?
Dealing with kids who don't give a shit about learning all day.
Why are expectations relevant in this context and why are they different?
There are studies on this. Look up something like self-fulfilling prophicies.
Why couldn't Paula get one of the hundreds and thousands of free rides and scholarships offered to people just like her? Why not get one irrespective of what kind of person she is supposed to be?
Lol.
[\BRAINLET QUESTIONS]
>Why should Paula get a loan?
To pay for school.
>In what way did Richard not do it all himself?
The point of the comic is that the situation that he was born into made it way easier to succeed relative to someone who was born into a shit one. I don't think it's a hostile "kill all white men" message, it's just supposed to bring perspective to people who say shit like "why don't they just work harder" to someone who's body's been broken down by hours of shitty labor after school to help their parents instead of going to tutoring.
>What value does Paula offer to the world?
In her current state, cheap labor for people like Richard.
>Why should I care about Paula? Why should we make decisions about an actual society based on a a fictive narrative within an ideological webcomic?
Is striving for a better quality of life for all of humanity not an ethical thing to do?

>People make a lot of bad decisions

Fuck off. The quality of life in a society is improved by rewarding productive behaviour and sanctioning negative behaviour.

>What negative behaviour?

Paula is a lazy piece of feces and her parents presumably too. Even my poor-ass immigrant mother managed to save up enough money to support my career.

>anti-capitalist comic
>woman portrayed in sympathetic light, guy portrayed as privileged and lacking empathy
You commie cucks make it so obvious.

A guy in my class during high school got severe depression due to his father.
The kid was reasonably smart and had decent grades, but he had to train constantly to be fit and uphold an image his father would accept. He never spoke of what he wanted to do because he was too used to being told what it is he should be doing.
Ended up getting used by chads and stacies since he had rich parents and a big house, but mostly due to the mentality of always doing what others told him to do.
He went into the military directly after high school and haven't heard from him since then
Hope he's ok :/

I wonder what it feels like to be proud of being a product of nepotism.

I don't have to be aware of anything you tell me to be aware of. I'll live my life as I please and there's nothing you can do to stop me. I completely reject your idiocy.
In other words, Paula is sent to a school full of low quality people. Ever consider the fact that Paula is low quality herself?
Wow, with that first sentence of yours it seems we've solved the Paula problem. The reason Paula is a waitress is simply because she is. I'm glad you agree with me on this core issue. Moving on to the others however, there are some disagreements. Something being cheap and public doesn't actually have any relation to the number of people it contains. The likely reason Paula is living in a crowded home is that her parents just had many children. Why did they have many children? If Paula were an only child certainly she would in your view have better "care" wouldn't she? It seems her parents made a mistake in having Paula and or her siblings. We know how mistakes are punished in this world of ours. Oh yes, why should it matter if her home is crowded or not? You know it's a shame about that, but let's ask ourselves why Paula needs help in the first place? Or, you know what real value is the help of this teacher in the age of public libraries and the internet? Maybe Paula should have just Googled it.

>[BRAINLET QUESTIONS]
Not an argument. I want peer reviewed experimental studies. Multiple meta-analyses.

>There are studies on this. Look up something like self-fulfilling prophicies.
It's not my role, the man who asks questions to look up studies. It's the role of those who have tasked themselves with answering it to provide it.

>Lol.
This is definitely not an argument.

Yes to pay for school, but you're misunderstanding what I was asking. Why should I, as someone with money lend it to Paula? Oh yes, by the way. Someone in Paula's position would have quite a high grant + loan payout! Her EFC must be very low. Why does she need more?

Ah yes, the age old fight of the ignorant vs the stupid, let's have another class shuffle for the 11th time, maybe we'll get it down after another 80 million deaths

>meanwhile, on right wing memes:

WHEN POOR PEOPLE ARE POOR LMAO

BOTTOM TEXT

If you agree with nepotism, you have to agree with welfare, which is nepotism by government guarantee of ancestral resource distribution for poor people too dumb to consider their relatives or the next generation.

Daddy gives you yours, the government gives poor-daddie's to his kids.

>The point of the comic is that the situation that he was born into made it way easier to succeed relative to someone who was born into a shit one.

Here's a lesson for you then. The situation that he was born into did not just spontaneously materialize out of thin air. It was created through the sustained effort of his family generation after generation. Wow, that's the whole point of the comic, that some people are luckier than others? What an obnoxious way of telling that.

>Is striving for a better quality of life for all of humanity not an ethical thing to do?
I'm a moral nihilist and don't give a fuck about Paula. You also refused to answer the most important question. Why should we make decisions about an actual society based on a a fictive narrative within an ideological webcomic?

Here is some food for thought:

If you take away the promise of leaving your fortune to your kids one day, 99% of people except psychos would NOT put any effort in getting rich or a better job.

So basically accumulated wealth is the only way to sustain the economy going
Otherwise everyone would be content with operating a forklift and playing ps4

But why should Paula have to pay for her parent's mistakes?

socialists believe everyone would be on the left panel if it was a socialist society, but in reality everyone would be even worse off than Paula.

>It was created through the sustained effort of his family generation after generation.

This is what I realized, growing up poor, is that my parents had massive difficulty conceptualizing the idea that people exist after them, or that a situation exists outside of them, or that things they do now have later consequence, they understood the statements but didn't *understand* it, their acting memory was about a week long. The internet made me a human.

it's more like the other way around. Paula doesn't have to pay for her parents mistakes, she just have to start from nowhere. Richard on the other hand gets advantages because of his parents. Why shouldn't his parents get to help him? What parent doesn't want the best for their child? Smart and educated people make smart and educated people, this shouldn't be punished

What the fuck are you talking about? Most people don't even have retirement funds much less college funds for their kids or money saved up for their kid's to inherit
Most people will inherit some $150k house if they're lucky

Plus what about the thousands of rich people without kids?

Leftists don't want everyone to be rich

They secretly want everyone to be poor like them

They have self esteem issues and since they don't fell worth, they think no one should

>Most people don't even have retirement funds much less college funds for their kids or money saved up for their kid's to inherit
That's cattle, livestock.

"People" are 200k year and up.

You say that but most people shilling leftist shit are middle class silver spoon champaign socialist student types with dyed hair.

>middle class silver spoon champaign socialist student types with dyed hair.
Yes
And they think they only made it because of their parents (mostly true), they don't feel worth a damn on their own

>I'm a moral nihilist

>tfw hate capitalism but hate commies just as much

Here's the thing guys. A lot of you don't have a real perspective on this because you haven't started working or are failures, but I do. I was and am the guy on the left of the comic. And the comic is pretty spot on. I realize fully that I'm a product of an extremely fortunate upbringing.
You are all up in arms about the implied message that the poor people need an equalizer. I think they do too, but not in the form of affirmative action or anything like that. Nothing is solved if you help poor people after they are already poor. The only reasonable solution is to help the children of the poor people before they can become stupid poor people. Fix education funding, open state sponsored daycares so the parents can find more stable employment, and generally focus on making sure poor children don't turn into stupid teenagers and then stupid, poor adults. Poor adults are a lost cause and whether they deserve help or not, it won't help society to help them. We must help the children.

Ultimately the main subjects of the comic are Paula and Richard, not their parents. As an adult, is Paula responsible for her actions? Yes. Does she have choices in life? Yes. Are her choices limited by the perimeters set by hey initial condition? Yes. You're right that the future is shaped by the present but people in the future have no say in the matter so you can't blame Paula for her parents mistakes or lack of judgement (if we're being strict) so your whole point there is completely irrelevant.
>Why should we make decisions about an actual society based on a a fictive narrative within an ideological webcomic?
The comic itself is an expression of a real individual's real thoughts. The fact that Paula doesn't exist doesnt mean that what she represents doesn't. I'm making a case that lack of choices due to a person's birth situation should be valid elements when critiquing theirs current place in life.
Just because you as an individual don't care about other people doesn't mean that other people shouldn't at least express certain realities.
Showing her loan getting denied isn't meant to discredit the loaner. It's saying she doesn't have access to the same resources as Richard.

>I don't have to be aware of anything you tell me to be aware of. I'll live my life as I please and there's nothing you can do to stop me. I completely reject your idiocy.
What a brainlet tier post, you just ignored his point, like a child covering his ears and shouting when his parents tell him something he doesn't want to hear, you haven't rejected anything.
Stopped reading there cause the rest obviously isn't worth the time.

fucking straw man argument if I've ever seen one
its a meritocracy on performance

a lot of the things in the comic are far and few between. not every white guys dad knows somebody at that company lmao. pretty true about the better living conditions growing up i guess but that's more like establishment privilige. if your minority family had been building on itself in one country for generations it'd have it pretty good too.

Here's how it would look under communism:
>Here is richard, his parents have a connection to the central committee
>here is paula, she is an ordinary pleb
>richard's house has ivory columns and a golden fucking toilet
>paula lives in a dilapidated commune full of welfare faggots and stabby people, aka "gopniks"
>Richard gets sent to an elite international private boarding school in the UK
>Paula gets sent to a school where the class schedule looks like this: History of Marxism, Literature of the People's Republic's Glorious Leader, Coal Mining 101.
>Richard's parents expect him to be a leader in state-owned enterprises
> Paula's parents expect her to hopefully not starve, get cholera, or arrested by state security service
>"richard, what's your secret to success?" "Death to America and small business owners!"

Yeah, this comics is true. I witnessed a couple of times in my life when people appeared to be useless without their "plate".

Stop complaining and work and maybe your grandchildren will have a comfy life.

America has a nigger problem, not a school "funding" issue.

Because she carries her parents retarded genes.

they do this to themselves, you know. nothing wrong with being a waiter, but damn, this is some serious inferiority complexion.

I like how the image even explains why she is poor and he is rich.

>he is concentrating in class while she is not
>his parents are not ok with a B, hers are
>she makes stupid financial reason while he does not

Neither one exists.

This comic would probably get less hate if the genders were swapped

Literally nothing wrong with that picture. Also, women shouldn't work or be educated or partake in politics so the premise alone is ridiculous.
