Working Class Student Joke

Text on the meme

Why don't you want to join us??? w-we're fighting for you, t-the working class!!! You're a college student studying journalism

What it means

A crying communist-looking figure confronts a college student studying journalism while three bearded workers in yellow hard hats stand behind him. The joke mocks the disconnect between radical working-class rhetoric and a student who is seen as part of the educated middle class, making it useful as a reaction to ideological hypocrisy or class-based arguments.
