edit: How did this post turn into a debate about liberals? Have y’all never heard of fascists referring to everyone to their left as liberals? It’s such a minor point in the comic, yet it’s outshining the larger point about the rich being the single “minority” that we should actually be concerned about. These identity politics are distracting from who everyone’s common enemy should be.

    My country just finished their plan for cutting costs, just about every sector got hit. People are crying out about having to pay more, cuts to the support of the weakest members of society, cultural heritage going to get into disrepair, investments in education being put on hold, etc etc.

    If the richest person in our country gave 15% of his capital (or half his income last year) the entire cost would be covered. One, single, fucking, person.

      But don’t you know your overlords could just move their wealth to another country if you ever threatened their property? Better keep shoveling money into their greedy maws or they’ll cripple your economy by taking all your hard earned wealth somewhere worse!
