The message “we could all share and the owner class might willingly transition to more circular/community-managed economies!” is not as sexy as “we’ll get yours forfrom you, 'cause we’re the best and we know you deserve to feel special!”

people like the easy way out when both options sound plausible but one sounds like it probably has less steps and therefore might be easier to achieve (???)

who can really know where mental gymnastics are learned. surely they develop slowly over time, like any type of flexibility…

Chew better

Thanks for pointing out the knobvious

oh it’s shitty for sure. I was just genuinely wondering if anyone would help me decipher what they (author/poster) had digested before dropping this gem

best I can think of for the punchline to make sense is that the author is calling Trump a shrimp for not trying to go all out and name the gulf after himself, but I think I feel like I am scratching my head until my scalp bleeds to come up with anything humorous about the statue of liberty or the mexican outside. I don’t get why Kelly there would want to egg on the war pigeons, having the background of an air of nationalism as the whole joke of the comic. something I am missing or maybe he is simply ascendant in the layering and I couldn’t hope to peel through without learning more about his profile as a cartoonist.

Edit: I seriously shit my pants

Kelly there had a lot of onion juice that morning then. If one understands more than half of the symbolism of this comic, then maybe someone with more familiarity with the layers to this onion would care to explain the punchline of “gulf shrimp” to me. It looks like a mess from the outside in

Brain rot

I propose dividing it up into sectioned off plots of an inwardly spiraling interior/exterior border line, having radially orthagonal borders with neighboring countries in the spiral. The middle country can be a few dozen square km circular blob. give the middle one nukes and offer them to join nato
