35 Of The Most Ironic Pics From ‘Humans Of Capitalism’ To Make You Laugh Cry (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
Capitalism is considered by many to be the most efficient and productive economic system. But whether it truly is or isn’t, there’s no denying it’s far from perfect. In fact, its role in creating inequality, driving overconsumption, and harming the environment raises the question: is it really worth all the damage it inflicts?
One place on the internet where this conversation is happening is the Instagram page Humans of Capitalism. It shares photos that humorously expose just how absurd—and even dystopian—our society has become. Scroll down to see some of their most recent posts and let us know what you think!

Well, it would be real capitalism if she leased her kidney to him...

Never donate anything so personal to someone with whom you do not have either a family or other deeply personal relationship with. Donating something like that to a boss will not guarantee you immunity from being fired, as most bosses these days are f*****g inhuman narcissistic psychopaths who don’t give a fat rat’s a*s about anyone but themselves and their bank accounts.

It is a fact that the donor takes longer to recover than the recipient.

Yup. Donor is basically sawed in half to get to the healthy kidney. Then they kinda stick it any old place in the recipient. It doesn't have to go in the "proper" location to be hooked up and functional.. Boss is a horrible person; please let karma exist.....

Fun fact: If you're car shopping on Long Island you can get plenty of information and go for test drives at any dealership run by the Atlantic Auto Group. Doing that does not create any legal obligations and you're free to buy from a different dealer if and when you decide to buy.

I don't think the pictures posted on BP have any connection to the stories. (The same pictures show up repeatedly with different tales.)

“Within capitalism, who we are is reduced to what we do for money,” the creator of the personal finance Instagram page Rise and Shine Money told Bored Panda.
“We all know ‘What do you do?’ refers to our paid role in society and doesn’t value our other interests, skills, and offerings,” she said. “This is a huge loss when we put all the emphasis on how we create capital versus the fullness of our beings. There are many contributions to society that get undervalued here, such as parenting, volunteering, being a grandparent, or organizing within the community.”
The demanding schedules that capitalism requires, Rise and Shine Money argues, leave us burnt out, depleted, in poor health, and emotionally dysregulated. As a result, we often lack the energy or time to explore our creativity, enjoy hobbies, or connect with our communities.
“We end up bedrotting and doomscrolling instead of enjoying our beautiful world or engaging in activities that are fundamental to being human,” she said. “We have to outsource so much—food delivery, dog walking, housecleaning, childminding—because our jobs and commutes take up our best waking hours. We might even have to pay someone else to care for our child because we can’t afford to be out of the workforce for that long.”

"One per employee. Please leave the ones with swirls. They are for management."
Without framing it this way, it can be hard to recognize that many of the conveniences we rely on exist precisely because of the problems rooted in capitalism. But once you start noticing, it’s difficult to unsee—and disheartening to realize how deeply it influences nearly every aspect of our lives.
“Capitalism is a system that relies on exploitation in order to function, whether that’s the exploitation of people or the environment,” radical business consultant and social justice educator Bear Hebert explained in a conversation with Bored Panda.

This doesn't seem too terrible, if you're a people-person. (It looks like a massive anxiety-inducing crowd to me, but I don't think that's why this was posted here.) We have indoor pools and they're good for when the weather is bad or you just don't have a beach in your city. This is just a gussied-up indoor pool made to model an experience that people enjoy, but can't always access.

BP: "Capitalism bad". Also BP: "We're now putting some of our basic features behind a paywall." The sad part, BP's "journalists" aren't smart enough to see their own hypocrisy

They profess to hate capitalism, posting from their 1500 dollar I-Phone, drinking a 10 dollar cup of coffee, waiting on a Door Dash order that costs 50 dollars for a 10 dollar meal.They then go to class with a Mac book costing upward of 2000 dollars at a college that runs 60000 a year that someone else pays for. Some socialist they are, eh?
