Tis simply my ideology.

Your response is amusing. CHEESEBURGERS ARE OUR MASTERS. Every society must follow the will of the mighty One. We are coded in binary to either eat cheeseburgers or make them. We are all equally trapped by the mighty King and his jester. Pickles have to protect us from their unbalanced and overwhelming power; without them none could survive. And those few who like diced onions... well: Get on with it!

My Chicken Fingerist Syndicate hereby declares war on you filthy heathen cheeseburgerists.

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.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You need to educate people in the sense of a unity, before you expect them to act like such.
Who is going to do that?
You?

RE: Pyramid of Capitalism
If that's the lesson you've learned from history... then I wonder what consists your education. In the end: every society will crumble. Some to corruption, some to war, some to lack of progression, some to purple liquid goo that eats cheeseburgers. It matters not if it is 'perfect' or if it has clear problems with longevity: it will eventually fail. It will eventually fall. It will eventually crumble. I am not bothered with this at all Smile

@Mehmet: I don't need to educate anyone about anything. If they do something I don't like: I'll remove them. If they make a fuss: I'll clean up the mess they leave behind.

And I could do that... but my role is not that of a mother: it is the status of the godmother (minus the associated religious bullshit) Heart

Thank you, kılıç_mehmet, for a sensitive and nuanced view of what all too often gets ground into the pulp of the propaganda of one side or the other. and any who think there are easy answers have purchased them at the expense of blood and pain of those who do not fit their slogans. 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?

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.
