    This is what I hate about the homunculi of twitter company personalities. “Hahaa, did you see the way Walmart clapped back at IBM?“ Humanizing vast, faceless companies puppeted by sociopathic business majors triggers every rage response that my body can muster. Please, shut the fuck up

      I’d say the outcome is alienation; the process as the comic demonstrates it is a kind of recuperation, the process through which ideas (especially subversive or dangerous ones) are neutered and commodified.

      I swear I can find an applicable Marx excerpt for almost anything. His work has strengthened my anti-capitalist conversations a ton.

    Then everything dies down … the corps eventually figure out the no one likes the meme anymore so they toss the meme out too…

    … Time passes …

    … then someone new finds this old meme again and it reappears as a new meme once again.

    Then the cycle starts again.
