More honest than claiming it'll "trickle down."

[-] trailing9@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

But it will!!!!

Joke aside, money would trickle down when workers ensure that key markets like housing and healthcare are competitive and not take whatever wage increase there is.

Can you elaborate more on the second bit? I'm having trouble piecing it together grammatically to understand the sentence.

[-] trailing9@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Housing is a sellers market where buyers compete. There needs to be a surplus of housing so that buyers can choose. Then prices fall to construction costs plus cost of management.

Money would trickle down if workers ensured that key markets like housing and healthcare were competitive, and not systems that take whatever wage increase they can get.

is my read of it

is this sopossed to be a metaphor for something or am i just stupid

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 65 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Mambert@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

It's about capitalism

[-] ohitsbreadley@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago

What makes you think it's anti-CRT?

[-] Mambert@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] zbyte64 2 points 2 years ago

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.

It's a Lion King spinoff where the gazelle idolizes the lion.

It's the Lion Kink, It have gore, sex and everything

[-] rikonium@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 years ago

You've done it now, now I'm catching up on Oglaf!

[-] Daxter101 3 points 2 years ago

He's as good as ever, go ahead

[-] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of Theo Lion from Between the Lions.
