'''Yacht Business''' is an Infrared meme/running joke concerning the yacht-owning billionaire class — used to punctuate discussions of oligarchy, capital flight, and the luxury consumption of the financial elite. The phrase evokes the gulf between productive industry (which socialists defend against finance) and parasitic wealth extraction symbolized by superyachts.
"'''"I own a yacht business"''' — the debate-clip meme for petty-bourgeois bravado.

""I own a yacht business" — the debate-clip meme for petty-bourgeois bravado.

Origin

From the COMMUNISM WINNING | INFRAWOKE stream — an interlocutor's entire retort to communism:

> "You don't like business owners? ...I own a yacht business. What are you going to do, Connie?... I'll buy your business up. I'm a conglomerate... I sell and build yachts... I'll split you in half."

The meme

Clipped and spammed in chat ever since, "yacht business" punctuates any debate moment where an opponent substitutes property claims for substance — title deeds as argument (Labor Aristocracy, Bread and Circuses).
