  • 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





  • Yeah I had thought that it was (probably, in some ways or places) easier than it had ever been before with the internet and rampant unchecked capitalism. but history has many vicious twists and dark moments not recounted through time and people have almost certainly been much cheaper or sold in far greater numbers into slavery in prior centuries. so maybe we are continuing to soften up as a world shaping apex species and gradually becoming more considerate towards one another as our concept of a “tribe” or “in-group” continues to widen.
