The title of the comic is "Tax Deductions" so I can assume Oglaf is satirizing working class people who worship capitalists.

Is this anti-CRT? I fully accept if I'm reaching too far.

You can tell it's not some right-wing boomer cartoon because there's diversity.

For example, the group of lions is (almost) evenly split between male and female lions.

And there is one antelope which is left-handed, while all others are right-handed.

Uhhhh... I... Huh. Holy shit. You're right... Wtf. That's so weirdly cool. I never would have noticed

[-] Amaltheamannen@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

It's about capitalism

What makes you think it's anti-CRT?

[-] Mambert@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

The panel where the cycle is shown, followed by the gazelle being thankful for being eaten, looks like the rhetoric of anti-CRT.

CRT is when we teach sheeple to be sheep?

I read it as more pro-critical history than anything.

[-] Mambert@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

If you go by conspiracy theorists' rhetoric, yes CRT is when sheeple are taught to be sheep.
