Dear Fellow Inhabitants of the Western World, what does this picture make you feel?

[Realpolitik]

I would just like to gauge the political atmosphere of these forums. What does this picture make you feel/think?

[athanaric]

I feel like I just wasted some seconds looking at Marxist propaganda .


Thorough analysis:

- Evil corporationist or banker at the top. Naturally white and male, because we all know that they can only be white and male. And Jewish, of course.
- Evil faceless military and police (guarding the evil corporations). Marxists have a pathological hate for these. Unless it's their own military and police, naturally. BTW, recently some policemen were injured in a leftist rally "against police brutality" in Germany. Oh the irony...
- Poor oppressed people at the bottom. Naturally all colours and races are present, to carry across the internationalist message. Because oppressed people are always either international or have a darkies majority, while the oppressors are white, male, and mostly Jewish. The more evil and at the top, the more Jewish, of course.

I feel that you can draw anything if you have the talent

[persianfan247]

Ah, sterotypes and generalisations, alas what would we do without you? People try to simplyfy things to much, reality is much more complex then that picture.

I think it's a lousy drawing that's as much propaganda as that of which it tries to oppose.

You could make it Marxist by removing the ballot boxes, doubling the police and turning the army around.

Its not suppose to be the ideal marxist utopia its a representation of the capitalist system.

Indeed. Reminds me of an old saying from the GDR (Socialist Fail State in Germany), "Ask Radio Yerevan" series:

Question: What is Capitalism?
Answer: Capitalism is exploitation of human beings by other human beings.
Q: And what about Communism?
A: Well, with Communism it's the other way around.

Ha yeah your right I just reread his post.

This wins the thread.

Anyway, @ pic: It's certainly a fantastic picture, isn't it? Seems more of a dig at Americans rather than Westerners though, considering the cityscape in the background. Evil Americans, how could you oppress the Disney-style multi-cultural people at the bottom? Clearly you are all bad, bad people.

[Sidmen]

What does it make me feel?

Jealousy. I wish I could draw that good.
Disappointment. The artist could be doing much cooler things with his time.
Confusion. At why there is a land-based oil well in the water...

[magickyleo101]

Same old recycled theme.

[Wolfgang von Zweibrücken]

Same old recycled theme.

Except that has class, and displays talent - that's good old fashioned propaganda. The OP's just looks kind of like an illustration in an adult-education book.

[Jenuensis]

It's just a stereotypical NWO "projection" of what society, to them, is.

[Realpolitik]

Hmmmmmmmmmm ok. Right, I see. Well I am now going to leave this picture for you all to gawk at and comment before I go to bed. Then I shall read the comments when I'm sipping my coffee tomorrow morning.

Night.

@ picture. Meh. History has seen countless hegemon's who have monopolized power in a region or across the world and were we to disappear or our power to wane then another power would fill said gap. From my very brief readings I would say the United States is, I suppose, a more kinder hegemon than perhaps the british empire or the mongol empire. If there is going to be a hegemon it may as well be us.

[The.Delegate]

That fence needs to be higher, tighter, and better guarded. The less they get in the better. Dont'cha love being part of the minority that 'oppresses' the rest of the world? I do anyways, it's so much better than being part of the 'oppressed' majority.

I agree, I'd much rather the US than China or India as the world power.
