"But capitalism is so efficient at growing!"

Yeah, but now capitalism has grown out of control:

I am not sure I agree that the old rule was replaced. Before, the oligarchs ruled from the shadows by controlling political campaign finances and lobbyists. But now, the oligarchs are so powerful they are ruling directly. The country is still heading in the same direction (relentless growth of power disparity between the rich and power) just at a quicker pace.

FDR was the last US president that fought for the working class. Every President since Reagan has overseen policies that have weakened the working class and transfered power to the rich. Republicans were far more aggressive about it, but liberals still did it at a slower rate.

Power disparity derived from wealth disparity inevitably leads to unchecked corruption.

Late Stage Capitalism is a malignant cancer on both society and the planet

We're all slaves to the billionaires under capitalism. It is a slightly more ethical type of slavery, but ultimately we still do the bidding of the wealthy and we sacrifice the best years of our lives to build their financial empires

Reminder that this is still capitalism. Capitalism gave Elon Musk the wealth and power to destroy American democracy so the world's most successful capitalist destroying democracy is capitalism in action.

Sure, just don't take out college loans for a useless degree. I have a BSc in Computer Science and it is basically completely useless right now. I can't even land a shitty help desk job that pays fast food wages right now

I applied to 600 jobs last year, had 30 interviews, and only had 1 job offer that was revoked after Emperor Elon took over. Things have been completely hellish for me.

More like a global depression that governments won't admit was a depression because the economy is completely shareholder centric with very little consideration for workers. New grads did the occupy Wallstreet protests because they spent multiple years unable to find a job. It was a nightmare that destroyed the lives of countless working class people

Most remote jobs are being offshored to India or other 3rd world countries.

If the oligarchy isn't abolished asap then things will get much, much worse before it gets better

Doubtful. I applied to something like 300 Easy Apply job ads on LinkedIn without a single interview or response from an employer.

The job market is super fucked at the moment. My interview rate for application with custom resumes and cover letters was only 5% and even then it took me 30 interviews to get a single offer (600 applications). Unfortunately, my job offer was for a federal position that was then immediately cut as soon as Emperor Elon took over.

We know that, but MAGAts think they can dictate gender which is why this comic is making fun of them

Can we adopt the system we helped the Germans create post ww2? We helped them come up with some really great safeguards against fascism

And Samsung is one of the 3 biggest corpos that control South Korea. We are fucking over the owners of our closest allies.

Our Supreme Court ruled that Trump is above the law, so no, our legal system will never hold him accountable

In what way are possums pests anywhere?

🥵 That's hot. Not nearly enough, but still great news

I am American and I am doing all my grocery shopping either at Aldi or from farmer markets now. Fuck Musk, fuck Trump, and fuck the US for falling to fascist oligarchy.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to Democracy

Masks are sort of like condoms. When someone tells you that you don't need one or that you shouldn't wear one then you absolutely do need one.

2016 was the year that satire died

Jesus, that is even worse than a "let them eat cake" moment. This would be like Marie Antoinette eating cake in front of the starving peasants and then saying "be grateful for the opportunity to watch me eat cake!"

What happened to us? When did our spirits become so broken that the rich figuratively spit in our face and we thank them for it?
