Sadly true…

I invite you to look at the budget of your, or really any country bar North Korea.
I guess also the drama about NATO countries not spending even 2% of their budget in armies didn't happen where you live...
“Ask not who the shithole countries are. Ask why your country is a shithole country.”
From the original:
“Ask not what those in power can do for you. Ask what you can do for those in power.”
Fuck you sideways, repressive, gaslighting governments.

I think most people would agree to the sentiment expressed in the drawing.
The problem comes with getting them to agree on which side should defund which war....
@KiffinEileen I was skeptical about the date, because a woman is used to represent the sciences. It's actually 70 years old this year, though, looks like, so close enough and I'm impressed!
@KiffinEileen A friend of mine has previously explained how it's anti-semitic though, so might need to be a bit careful with its usage.

@KiffinEileen
While the overall sentiment is true, if this is 80 years old, it is probably about WW2.
The people in English-speaking countries who opposed joining the war were often people who didn't want to fight against the Axis.
In America, this is where the "America First" slogan comes from.
War is profitable. Our species is sick.

Cmdr. William Riker : Because at 11:00, an alien ship will begin passing through this solar system.
Dr. Zefram Cochrane : Alien. You mean extraterrestrials? More bad guys?
Deanna Troi : Good guys. They're on a survey mission. They have no interest in Earth. Too primitive
