The best outcome is everyone being able to buy their own seat, system barrier withstanding :)
This is a screenshot from the slides of the meeting.
Lmao doesn't the original comic just have the first 3 panels? Like they just tacked on the last panel because someone noticed "hey wait a minute, they're supposed to be BUYING STUFF, how can we make it so they're buying stuff and pulling themselves up by their bootstraps?"
Sorry sweaty you don't just get justice, you have to buy your way into justice. But we'll make sure you have access to justice!
capitalist realism in the flesh. The person giving the presentation is actively given the correct outcome (removing systemic barriers) but thinks it would be better if instead that everyone had a job and could afford to buy seats.
Lol, the last one is literally just rephrasing the first. Also they neglected to give the tall guy his box in the first image; he's supposed to be much higher than the fence to show that his box is unnecessary.
Also, "access" to healthcare and education means no healthcare and education, full stop.
The way this translates IRL is kafkaesque lib dem policy where you find yourself unable to see past the fence and the response you get is "yes you can".
my son started attending baseball games with me now that he is 16 and can afford to pay for his own seat. He always sits a few rows away from me though, not sure why.
I like how the chain link fence is still fucking up the kid's view and they call it justice
It's a perfect metaphor for liberalism. Legitimately reads like satire.
:geordi-no: feeding and housing people is the right thing to do
:geordi-yes: letting the slaves eat makes them more profitable
yes, of course, AGENCY best describes my interaction with the modern industrialized world
I have the AGENCY to put grandma in an institutionalized care facility, so i don't have to confront mortality
I have the AGENCY to ask my doctor to prescribe a methamphetamine because it turns out nobody is suited to a manufactured biome of paved roads and cookie-cutter boxes.
I have the AGENCY to go to HR rather than have an honest conversation with my coworkers
I have the AGENCY to walk if I don't want to be dependent on a dwindling fuel that's extracted and refined so far away they have to burn a portion of that fuel just to truck a tank of it to my region
I have the AGENCY to buy a ticket to a baseball game - whoops, no i don't, there's some critical union busting that takes priority
at the current pace of use there wont be any left in 100 years, also at the current pace of use there wont be enough of a biosphere to support the industrial society which would exhaust it.
Not pictured: the dozen people whose view is now blocked by the seating.
The wall+baseball game analogy doesn't really sit right for me because ultimately what everyone gets is a passive experience where you get to root for one side, but will likely never affect the outcome of the game.
Justice looks like the deprofessionalization of baseball and the creation of robust rec leagues, probably more similar to Football in England.
This is a lib version of a DankLeft meme I made a long time ago.
EDIT: Come to think of it, there's a good chance that might have actually been what inspired them, because the top comment chain mentions a chain link fence. I mean look at the first 3 panels.
Variations of that image have been spreading for at least a decade.
My version was a parody of the conservative crap versions. The real tell here is the chain link fence and the fact the kid in the third picture is copied from the second.
Lol why is there even a fence at all? Even when this comic was better, it still presupposes that keeping people out is the natural state of things.
