edit: Emphasis on “but do nothing”. I suggest civil disobedience.
The picture of people “doing nothing in real life” is of protesters who are out doing something in real life.
Some people are of the mind that anything less than firebombing an oil refinery is not taking action. We need both people firebombing oil infrastructure, AND people protesting in the streets
I suggest they do not firebomb the people protesting.
So, firebombing oil refineries will reduce the supply of fossil fuels, driving up the price and profits for the oil companies
GG!

Yes, the meme does not literally have a picture of a group of people at their computers. The picture is metaphorical.
The top image is of the Occupy Wallstreet protests. Rich fucks on the balcony were there drinking champaign, taking pictures, and laughing.

Because they were at a wedding. People drink champagne at weddings.
I totally get where you’re trying to come from but that pic ain’t it. At least understand the context first otherwise people won’t take you seriously.
They were taking pictures of the protest and laughing. I think what was happening was pretty self apparent.
Also this :https://www.truthorfiction.com/wall-streeters-looking-down-on-occupy-wall-street-gamestop/
the original source was made by UFO hunters
It appears they were partying before the protest even started
As for taking pictures and recording, it’s not every day you see a protest so it makes sense to record it (the person who made the original source also recorded it)
There wasn’t much laughing - at most there was the odd smile. There was one bold guy who was laughing but the vast majority were just using the balcony like a normal person would
Ever since I saw Al Jazeera (funded by the Qatari government) get a low bias score, I stopped trusting fact checkers
You’re being indoctrinated. It’s literally a picture taken out of context used to get people like you charged up.
Boy howdy do i love all of these memes telling us how rich people aren’t scared of folks complaining on the internet. The internet and its abilty to unite the Working Class quite literally has Billionaires quaking in their boots which is why Capitalism is so quickly evolving into out right fascism today. These memes complaining about people complaining might as well be made by Elon Musk or a Landlord, cause they are so clearly trying to act like they arent bothered, all while the rising tide of class consciousness is threatening the status quo that allows them to rob the everyman, in order to aquire vast ammounts of wealth that most of us cant even comprehend. Memes are the new pamphlets and this era of Capitalism is going to end.
I would like to introduce you to the US military guides to memetic warfare (or, how I learned to stop complaining and love the psyops):

Welp, the past 10 years of my internet usage make alot more sense, and I now understand why so many leftist spaces on reddit were just “off” and not actually advocating for anything other than “viva revolution” … holy shit so much makes sense now…

Seconded, the revolution will be organized through the internet
Yeah fuck OP. They’re just here to sow discord.
When stuff starts happening:
"Whoah, where is all this coming from? Let’s sit down at the table and discuss.
Hey hey, wait, wait! We’re willing to compromise now! Wait!"
Does something.
:O not like that!
Why would they? If they don’t have to follow law or listen to the government, why would they listen to the masses?
They most certainly do care. They’ve been trying to solve this problem since before occupy. The playbook back then was to plant people to give everyone second hand embarrassment and discredit movements, and it largely hasn’t changed. Billionaires spend a lot of time thinking about the guillotine.
well they care enough to design things such that the best we can realistically do is complain online
Are we allowed to advocate violence here?
