It's comforting to know that some still think, despite the incentives not to.
Right, because people who oppose capitalism are obviously just spreading insensitive propaganda, and dont really think about things deeply like those who support capitalism. Obviously not supporting capitalism means spreading blood and pain because anti-capitalists do not think.
..and if this ISNT what you just posted, it sure the hell sounded like it.
Care to clarify?

Hasn't history shown us again and again that the extreme ends of any ideology are unworkable? Cartoons like these do serve the purpose of exaggerating or emphasizing the things about any system that a group of people are dissatisfied with. That's why they strike a chord and why they are effective. So maybe we like to puff ourselves up with a little rhetoric, doesn't mean there isn't a grievance to be addressed.
right..because its not like the top 1% in America control over 40% of America's wealth or something...and that people have taken to the streets to protest this and are being fired upon by police. Its not like big corporations have taken bailouts from the working class to hand out expensive bonuses to their top executives while the workers fight each other over table scraps.
Sure. This image is merely puffing up my ego, and has no direct relation to current reality.
My apologies. I will, in the future, ensure that only happy happy things be posted so they will not disturb your life.
