See who you are not allowed to criticise and you will see who rules you.
Their class is united, it’s why they win.
So just out of abstract curiosity, where can one acquire these cards?
CEOs are all the rage these days, but hear me out here - shareholders?
I agree… What is it like 10% own 90% of the stock market, 1% own 50% or something like that? Major shareholders are the real evil oligarchy… CEOs are just shills they hire to take the bullet, same as politicians but paid better… I’d love to see some playing cards for the real oligarchy… But it’s pretty hard to really track them because they hide behind corporations and shit
Really just anyone with a certain amount of wealth should be forced to redistribute that wealth or face dire consequences.
Blackcock and BJ Hornan!
Thankfully no one cares when Forbes posts their hit list every year.
Man, there’s way more than 52.
He’s gonna need a Magic: The Gathering like system for all those fuckers.
Yeah, but I don’t think you’d even need to take out 52. After the first dozen or so, they’ll be more inclined to surrender their wealth and get off the list.
I think the cards are hilarious but they have something the other referenced sets (Iraqi, COVID) do not: silhouette targets on the back.
I am by no means defending their removal but cards but maybe don’t give them a plausible excuse to remove them by implying that these cards are for shooting??
if they didn’t want to feel threatened then they shouldn’t run their businesses so provocatively.
Yeah. Threats are speech that attracts repercussions.
No idea why nobody linked it yet, but you can buy them here: https://www.comradeworkwear.com/products/the-playing-cards
Here’s an image of the playing cards, for anyone who just came to the comments.
With the target on the back, no shit this was removed lmao
Having the suit one corner and the rank in the other is going to make these a bastard to play games with. How would you hold them in your hand so’s that you can see both?
If all the suits have their own color then it would be OK to play with I think. A little annoying at first but playable
Balatro high contrast mode is a godsend.
Maybe the user was banned because of bad design?
Yeah, at first I thought he was copying the format from Iraq but nope:
The fucking banks refused to let him take payments.
They’ll do that at the drop of a hat these days. It’s been a slippery slope since WikiLeaks.
Just highlights once more that we are ruled and suppressed by the rich.
So where can these be purchased rn? I got crypto
The site comrade workwear opens with them on the front page, i was curious what type of workwear they had after this article.
I’m looking for a replacement for dickies and another one, their quality has been absolute ass lately. €100 work jeans that get holes in them in a matter of days, those are not work jeans anymore.
I’ve got some Ariat jeans that are tough.
I like the pockets from most work pants and hammer hook.
I had some good experience with Jobman 2200 pants, but the last 2 that i bought gave me a similar experience to the Dickies.
I’m looking for a replacement for dickies
Maybe check out Duluth Trading Company?
Aw heck, American website?
It won’t allow me to open it, which has been happening more often with American sites lately.
Thanks, that’s what I get for skimming the post
Honestly? That very much feels like a “fuck around and find out” situation and a GREAT way to piss off rich people in the event someone else gets blue shelled.
Also: Free speech doesn’t apply to social media. You can and will be banned for no reason other than someone with the power was bored.
Oh man blue shelled is perfect
Oof, the back of those cards is designed as a shooting target. So much for plausible deniability.
Probably technically falls under free speech regardless.
No different from the dozens of other targets made as targets with the face of political figures centered as the bullseye, imo. If one is fine, it’s all fine.
And yet the card maker’s website says “we do not condone violence”.
Just as credible as social media platforms claiming they protect free speech, or corporations that claim they care about anything other than shareholders profits. Or Trump claiming he doesn’t support project 2025.
Well, yeah, platforms (unless otherwise specified) are for-profit. Anything that would impede their profit stream is naturally going to be censored so that profit can continue uninterrupted.
Can’t have some idiot poor going around making richoids uncomfortable, they’d just pull their money, and that would mean less money going to the platforms.
Step 1: profit. Step 2: profit. All other steps: profit. EZPZ
This story goes way beyond that. The police have been harassing him as well.
It’s one thing to ban him from your own platform. It’s another to make sure no one else can choose to do business with him either.
Damn I would buy those too
