The image is a graphic titled “the real luxuries,” highlighting simple yet profound pleasures in life. It features a two-column list with illustrations and corresponding text for each item:
“a good night’s sleep” with an icon of a pillow and Z’s, representing sleep. “slow mornings” accompanied by a coffee cup icon. “freedom to choose” symbolized by an open hand with a heart in the center. “time for fun and play” depicted with an artist’s palette and brushes. “listening to birds singing” with an illustration of a bird on a branch with musical notes. “long walks” represented by a tree. “a good book” shown with a book icon. “favorite home-cooked meal” with a bowl of food. “colorful sunsets” with a sun partly below a horizon line. “ability to freely express yourself” symbolized by a flame. “day naps” with a cloud and moon indicating sleep. “a good conversation” depicted by two hands in a handshake gesture.
The overall message is an appreciation for life’s simple joys, depicted in a clean, minimalist design with blue icons and text on a white background.
Most of these should be seen as basic rights not luxuries
They are - that’s the point.
Sorry my friend this is a lemmy comment section. You have to quickly interpret anything you see as a sign of capitalist collapse.
It’s like hanging out with a lefty version of your crazy trump uncle. There is only one topic of conversation. There is only one thing going on in the world. All things tie back to the favored topic.
Try these example conversations:
Cloudy today… “sad that we live in a world we’re a working person can’t even see the sun”
Fuck man, I have this hangnail… “fucking healthcare costs! This country is a fucking joke!”
I love you… “Massive corporate profits, Joe fucking Biden… wages… billionaire…”
The political vibes here aren’t out of step with me, but the anger and hyper fixation are tiring.
Same, I browse all with a massive block list. I’ve had to add some of the most major ones lately… I found despite being interested they were sapping my energy. Echo chambers exist across the entire political spectrum and the wise keep that in mind.
It’s not even lefty it’s just depressed teens.
Politically I’m even further left, but that doesn’t mean I spread doom and gloom in every thread
Most of these luxuries basically come down to “time for yourself”. Having time to spare is a luxury many people don’t have.
