not pictured: the last forty years, where the capitalists got everything they wanted and billionaires ate the world

Counterpoint: Bosses are delicious provided you cook them low and slow, basting often.

I mean, we'fe been fattening those bastards for centuries and we're suddenly not gonna eat them? Where's the logic in that?

Tell anyone in 1929 that every major power on earth would have turned their entire economies into a full-on war machine by the early 1940s.
This is the same time span we're dealing with for the 2035 goal. It can be done, and anyone who says different is a climate denier hellbent on the destruction of earth. We need to be more serious about this shit. Highest CO2 ppm in three million years. We're already fucked so hard.

The US did it in about 2 years, for that matter.

As a Libertarian, I agree that we should roll back employee protections like this comic is suggesting.
17
How do they even decide where their arbitrary line is? Would they blindfold themselves and pin the tail on the donkey for this chart?

I think barganing should be an individuals responsibility but safety shit is needed. Once a mollases tank burst and flooded a whole town. People and horses drowned in it. The company still rejected responsibility and tried to blame it on anarchist terrorism. I'm for limiting government but you cant expect businesses to police themselves. Unless you crowd fund some sort of outside agency like taxation by choice but I'm a cynical person.

Why are you on a leftist sub arguing right wing policy with a parody account of a libertarian? Are you lost?
15
GTFO lib
14
if someone says "as a libertarian" don't take them seriously
10
Honestly it works anytime someone opens with "as a".
As a black man
As a woman
As a socialist
Let your argument rest on it's merit, not on who is saying it.

as a libertarian i wholeheartedly agree with you

As a real libertarian that’s just not true

Go away

What if I told you the world doesn't owe you anything, if you dont like where you work and they won't give you a raise because your a black gay trangendered women go work somewhwere your appreciated. Legislating only breeds resentment and makes it harder to get hired.

You are blowing our minds, we have never heard this take before!!!
5
Then you do what they say, deregulate everything and those fuckers crash in less than 10 years.

Capitalism is ED-209 and when you remove regulations it’s like replacing the floor with stairs.

Not to make it sound like they were right but... Some of these tycoons DID get their stolen means of production out of the country and implented them in China :|
12
and implented them in China
And the Chinese are stealing it from them.
13
lulz yeah, real patriots those capitalists... And then they wonder where them Chinamen get all that stolen tech
6
When it was actually happening, very few people saw it as a national security issue. Now the Chinese have a means to ramp up a war machine like no one's seen before.

Christ the ruling class and the rich need to diiiiie so badly
1
Lol no. Do you honestly think it's all theft?
Edit: I read the comment wrong my bad lol
1
That would have happened regardless.
8
how so? I think that the second thing they are deeply, after greedy, is nationalist, and they'd rather use the slaves at home than the slaves abroad
0
How so? Because that's litterally what happened. They don't care who does the work as long as it's as cheap as it possibly can be. They only pay lip service to nationalism at best.
19
yeah but I'm saying "for sure, if they had kept slaves at home, they would've kept their industries there too, no reason to move"
1
Kinda fucked up that child labour was even a thing to begin with and that practised and enforced, until someone said that it was a bad idea.
7
I don't think the business suit existed in 1842.
EDIT: Obviously this minor anachronism totally invalidates the point of the comic.
6
You are probably right. Shut it all down!
7
Well shit pack it in boys, the entire thing is unwinding.

Shit the libtards are totally destroyed now.

fuckfuckfuckfuck

1970 looks like Ron Paul. Sounds like him too.
6
I thought that was the one from 1964
1
god if this keeps up stupidly rich people are embarrassingly only gonna be ridiculously rich by 2100
jk there won't be a planet capable of supporting rich people in 2100
5
World still turning.
2
wait hold on. if the other ones ended up happening, does that mean that we're gonna get our way eventually?

Wow I had no idea Dog the Bounty Hunter was around in the 1840s, let alone a prominent industrialist.

But the last capitalist is a woman, so progress!!!!!!!!!!
The earth is a dead, brown husk and we all live in McEcodomes under the sun-blasted surface, but it was all worth it since the current CEO of DisneyAmaCola is a woman. We won.
Omg u Bernie bros. Misogynistic much? S.m.h. 🤦♂️ (slash s)

Felix/s m-preg fanfiction
"Greed is good", so we let the corporations of the world murder the future of all life on Earth. After all, what's more important, the well being of our children, or the next quarterly dividend?"
The last two days I have striven in vain to hear birdsong other than crows and gulls.
The meek have been damned by the proud. The cockroaches will inherit the Earth.
Great poem if you leave out the racist bits in the second half
That was lovely, thank you. Seems the beast slouches ever towards Bethelehem, "and ever she be fair". (Apologies to Yeats "Ode on a Grecian Urn")
I mean, this outcome is pretty consistent with Revelation, so maybe Jesus comes back now? And maybe he's actually an alien?
She better be transgender.
And only two panels after equal pay!
