I’ve never understood the hate that lawyers get. We need people that understand the law.
Because (almost) every legal battle is pay-to-win. Yes, lawyers understand the law, and they charge a whole lot for that knowledge. Unless the case the EXTREMELY in your favour, you’re practically defenseless if your opponent out-moneyed you.
So I guess the hate is more towards the justice system, rather than just lawyers.
It’s not even an untrue stereotype in so many cases: they get paid to lie.
Probably a reflection of how expensive they are and that the law is too convoluted for most to consume. Is the hate justified and/or are lawyers responsible for those points? I don’t know🤷.
Every single one I have dealt with is fucking awful. I’m currently being billed for being billed by my current (and about to be previous) lawyer. Yes, this is illegal. They put their hourly rates up without informing me, which is a requirement - supposed to be 14 days notice. They charged almost $20k for a template with some blanks filled in, riddled with typos. They take a month to respond to simple corrections.
Every lawyer I have dealt with in every area of law has been a painful teeth pulling experience that tries to scam the shit out of you.
Jesus, can’t wait to see the page about CEOs
The last one is straightforwardly antisemitic, the others are just unnecessarily hateful if you know a lawyer.
Are all vampires Jewish?

No, but “Jews drinking blood” is an old classic of the genre.
I’m not a Zionist, I’m just pointing out a historical linguistic parallel. 😄
If I was a Zionist I’d probably call all of these anti-semitic because “Jewish lawyer” is also a thing. However, not nearly a strong enough thing to be antisemitic on its own, which is why I picked out the vampire one. Two insults usually aimed at Jewish people? That nudges it above the level for me.
Bear in mind, I do not think the author was a bigot, or racist, any of that. I definitely don’t think anyone would be a bigot for posting this. I just wanted to point out the interesting origins of a classic old joke.
Maybe it would be more accurate to say “The vampire one has more direct antisemitic roots, while the others probably just originate from people who lost in court.”
Please explain how that could possibly be “anti-semetic”
Classic hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy:
because the totality of antisemitic tropes include some about blood sucking, some Zionists and other misguided people assume that all blood sucking tropes are antisemitic. 🙄
