I’m asking for extra eyeballs on this. The picture of Sir Guy Standing sitting has been changed to one that makes the clarification that he is seated less necessary.
The caption of this picture is one front of a battle for the soul of the internet, and it’s a battle that we’ve been losing for a long time. I believe that people shouldn’t have to segment parts of themselves off for the sake of “professionalism”; the world would be better if we all accepted each other as whole people, and humor is a part of what makes us human.


You should’ve opened with the fact that the original person in this story is a pro labour economist named “Guy Standing” who’s name was memed on by Wikipedia captions. I got almost none of that context from your post or comment, and wouldn’t have bothered figuring out what you were talking about if I wasn’t a mod here.
