Liberal HQ in shambles

The US learned a long time ago that in order to keep their greatest disposable resource at bay (the working class), they have to give the illusion of choice and just enough freedom to continue having children and quell civil unrest. If you completely subjugate and alienate your greatest resource, your empire isn’t going to last long at all.

When you find the sides of the bubble and start prodding, that’s when you start to see the true face of the ones controlling it. That’s when the cops come out in force; the layoffs happen; the union busters and scabs double; products and goods sink in quality while growing in price. Marx predicted this and now we get to watch the edges of the empire and capitalism sharpen in real time.

If a man has a right to rule himself, all external rule is tyranny.

Better than plain tyranny, like adding salt/sugar to lemon water, right?

I think you should add an extra panel with something like “Actual democracy in transition where the system is not subjected to corporate lobbying or profit maximisation for the few and actually raises the HDI of the people, but has to censure people trying to push corporatocracy”

The meme wouldn’t work then, liberals don’t actually support what you describe. Thinking something would be good isn’t the same as supporting it, you can’t vibe systems into being. Just because I want 1 million dollars to fall into my lap from thin air doesn’t mean I can actually support that.

I didn’t say that the extra panel should show agreement/support. I think an extra panel will be more clear

But the point of the meme is that Liberals denounce other systems like Socialism as “tyranny,” yet support what Leftists would consider weak platitudes yet ultimately tyrannical control from Capital. Adding another panel adds nothing to the message of this meme.
