"Why care about other countries instead of focusing on our own" is often a manipulative way to say "let's allow xenophobia and sacrifice other nationalities to fuel our own".

And I'm sorry, but the guy in the last picture probably has it much easier than people going through the war in Ukraine.

    β€œWhy care about other countries instead of focusing on our own”

    What about Ukraine and Israel make them notable relative to, say, Brazil or The Philippines or Angola? Why is "caring" restricted entirely to sending in more military hardware for the purposes of butchering enemy troops and infrastructure?

    Until the police come by, sure. But guess where else we're dropping tens of billions of dollars.

    Slight correction: they have billions to hand to private companies who then give a pittance to the poor and needy while naturally cutting a profit and exploiting every loophole and every opening to increase their profits and revenues, because something something corporate efficiency?

    Missing frame is the government squeezing the cash out of the middle working class before tossing change to that poor man.

    If it was accurate the suited hand would be taking money out of the cup and sending a cop to arrest the homeless person. Then in the next panel the homeless person is convicted of some contrived bullshit and forced into a slave labor camp ran by the suited man who stole his money and locked him up.

    Some things never change. I like the artwork. It's on point. And hits just as hard as this old cartoon from a century ago.

    tbh the same would be happening if they stopped funding ukraines defence and israels genocide. After all, helping poor people is communism!
