I dunno man, when I do a critical theory examination of the mousetrap system, it doesn’t seem to involve the cheese at all but the fact that some powerful bastard wound up a spring.
I don’t think mice understand the concept of something not being free tbh. It ain’t like they go around with little mouse wallets filled with little mice money and little mice credit cards.
Nothing is free to a mouse. Everything comes with risks. Deadly risks lurk around every corner. That’s why mice dart around so quickly and act so cautiously, like tiny thieves.
And they’re right. Little buggers best not let me catch ‘em in my chicken feed
Hi do you accept MousterCard
Yes but we don’t accept American Express
Damnit now I picture a little mouse in a 3 piece suit, hat, strolling down the street, only to be conned by some rat with a goatee. But in the end he wins by getting the rat trapped in a cage.
And now I just converted that little scenario into a random encounter for my d&d session on Monday.
Is this socialism? 😅
You think the satanic panic was about occult imagery? No, it’s about loot distribution! Why should the druid get an equal cut when the rogue is going all the damage?

Socialism is where the mouse gets the cheese. Capitalism is where the cheese looks free, then you try to get it.
Capitalism is where the mouse pays for the cheese and then gets killed anyway
The cheese isnt real cheese but ‘cheese product’ created from industrial waste and artificially priced to maximize profits for the shareholders.
Capitalism: If it’s free, then you’re the product
If it’s paid, you’re actually still the product
Enshitification
And communism is where the mouse gets arrested for having the cheese in the first place. Great film, The Witness. Everybody should watch it at least once every five years.
Is there a decent English dub?
Just pull yourself up by your cheese traps, bro.
Socialism is when the mice make their own cheese.
The cheese has a subscription and cheese payments will slowly bleed you dry. You can try to quit cheese but the capitalists know that you have eat. Under capitalism, all the mice die poor and hungry except one.
I know many people who were the mouse in this story by going to the hospital in the US, not conceiving that it won’t be free, only to get hit with the trap of huge bills when they get out.
The mouse trap exists to prevent the indigenous population (mice) from sharing in the bounty of their land, so the colonizers can hoard it all.
All what mouse eat is free.
All what mouse eat is THEFT. If they weren’t so LAZY and got a job they could pay for cheese like the rest of us. Ratatouille was one of the good ones.
ikr they should pull themselves up by their mouse-straps.
Socialism kills
My friend tried a socialism and his head came off 😔
Yeah, this one time, I gave my friend food without asking for money and both of us died.
This is so sad. When will people learn that trying to make society better somewhat will never end well
Workers and society after somebody hands them the means of production: “oh no, guess I’ll die.” /s

Yeah when you are about to join a workers collective Karl Marx is waiting to hit you on the head with a comically large flyswatter
Whose money goes into socialism? Which government has ever shared said money with the general public. Y’all haven’t watched hunger games and it shows.
Somebody really not understanding what free means…
Social protections are not free, we all pay into them. Europe has much higher tax rates than US. These tax rates are there to pay for healthcare, public services, education, and a host of employee protections (infinite sick leave, significant maternal leave, various forms of care leave, protections from exploitation and unfair dismissals…)
Our grandfathers fought for it, so we can live a healthy work life next to a healthy personal life. And every day we fight to find the correct balance to maintain this system.
Unless… are taxes the trap??
Rothmus really making a mockery of the black flag their.
Who moved my cheese?
Socialism has cool stuff because it is designed to kill you obviously lmao
Let’s consider what’s happening in Gaza with the hungry being shot. Let’s then consider those in the US needing healthcare. Underying similarities and the opposite of socialism
Tell me more about this mouse economy.
