I can't go one second into trying to get into the holiday spirit, without some jackass on the internet screaming "CHINESE LABOR! CHINESE LABOR!" while strangling himself with the chinese and American flag.

The winter holiday been commercialized so heavily that not just china but everyone else out there see this as major profit, look at wal-mart and black friday, look at amazon.com and their unit per hour ration of 82 while working for mandatory overtime of 11 hours. Now dispite these companies not being in china, I've make up the image that china get a hell lot worse then that on production and commerce on many workplaces as demand increases tremendously so that products sale more each winter season. If your in a small business, then you don't get this amount of treatment as major big businesses does.

It's not like I want to be HAPPY or MERRY or anything right? No I just love to know that my gift to my sister was made in china.

"a day where there will be peace on earth" is the motto that I hear every winter season.

[QUOTE=darkedone02;45383590][quote]I wish I had the word to describe exactly how I felt. It hurt me to see the man by the fire. He could be climbing, working to better himself and his position/status in the world. But he is okay with merely surviving the night by dismantling his route to greatness. He's probably been making that fire a couple days. Thinking, "Oh I can make it out tomorrow, I still got some steps from the ladder i can make into a fire and be comfortable tonight instead of waking up actually doing something ." I don't want to be the guy by the fire anymore[/quote]That was one of the comment that i've read a moment ago, and I kinda agree with this representation.[/QUOTE] I interpreted it as the fact that people will give up opportunities of creativity, dreams and ambitions for comfort. Maybe I'm looking into it too much but the "Nah I'll do it tomorrow" approach I cannot see due to the fact that all the lower rungs are already gone. So in my eyes it's like settling for a desk job that pays well rather than the job you really want to do. I guess that is my vision due to the fact that I can relate.

One fiftieth of the world's population is killed by combat or starvation. 1700-1800s problems: People can purchase and own other human beings. Native Americans are being exterminated because people don't like them. Britain owns India (as well as most of the undeveloped world), and massive trading companies run its government and exploit its people without any oversight whatsoever. 1000-1500s problems: If you don't agree with the local faith, you're ostracized or killed. If you act weird and are a woman, you are ostracized or killed. All of the land in the entire country is owned by a tiny noble elite, who grant the working class the privilege to use it to grow crops so they can survive. Minor wounds can lead to fatal infections. Headaches are treated by boring through the skull with a drill. Every third person dies to preventable illness, which is spread through populations because people throw their feces in the streets. See what I'm getting at?

and there, in the corner, its lady liberty, and shes crying

These "political meanings" are pretty bleh

[QUOTE=Saturn V;45384215]These "political meanings" are pretty bleh[/QUOTE] Because they're stuff we've known for a while, being repeated ad nauseum.

These have literally no depth, it's like political satire for people who can't understand actual political satire

[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;45384371]These have literally no depth, it's like political satire for people who can't understand actual political satire[/QUOTE]Satire for the blind, deaf, and tasteless.

I don't understand any of these. Could use a little more T-Rex to be honest.

[QUOTE=darkedone02;45383590]That was one of the comment that i've read a moment ago, and I kinda agree with this representation.[/QUOTE] You could also see it as sacrificing the uncertainty of one path for more security and comfort where one is now. There is nothing wrong with wanting to 'merely survive', not every human being has to aspire to climbing the ladder and becoming leader of something or doing some big ground-breaking thing. Unsurprisingly, not every human being wants to leave his mark on history, but merely live their life the way they see fit

Do you people not ask yourselves why you get so butthurt over these pictures?

[QUOTE=Sector 7;45383765]- War and deaths from war are at an all time low - Infant mortality is at an all time low - Illiteracy is at an all time low - Developing nations are curbing population growth and forming new, booming industrial sectors - The information age is ramping up to become the most influential era in human history - The average person in all developed nations has immediate access to the entire breadth of human knowledge The "current depressing state of affairs?" Bitch, you're living in the greatest golden age humanity has ever seen and you don't know about it because you believe everything you read. The fact that you're currently participating in a discussion with people all over the world on a magical electronic forum should clue you into the fact that [i]we are living in the future.[/i][/QUOTE] And then there's 56 million people living in the United States suffering from poverty. The broken immigration system (no I don't have a solution) The gross, disproportionately split money per student in the state of California. There's India's oppression of the lower castes that doesn't seem to be getting better (then again I haven't checked on this in a while) Mexico sucks. Brazil sucks. The ocean is fucked. Africa still sucks in most parts. But as long as you have you and yours, right?

[QUOTE=sweetbro;45384550][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sR9YNbq.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] This is actually much deeper than the drawing itself.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;45384896]Then WHO are they aimed for?[/QUOTE] People who aren't aware. Duh. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with these images. Some of them aren't too clever, yeah, but a lot of the ones that are obvious to you guys with your massive superior intellects, aren't so obvious to the kind of audience they are clearly aimed at. The kinds of people who get their political fill by mindlessly scrolling their Facebook home page and seeing what all their buddies have shared, who largely aren't going to be very politically minded and aren't going to care enough to arrive at these conclusions themselves. This kind of format is perfect for those people. And to everyone saying that the time we live in is the best time humanity has had so far, yeah, you're right. But it could always be better. Maybe you're having trouble because most of the people on this forum are doing pretty well and that's great for us, but look at the rest of the world. Look at just how shitty some people lives are because of poverty, even in developed nations, and compare that to how rich some people are. Look at how many people are still being sent off to die for the sake of power. Christ, look at man made climate change. That's a new problem and it's fucking big. There's still a lot of problems in the world and there isn't a single thing wrong with some artist trying to express that in the a format that's going to be easily digestible for a generation of people glued to Facebook.
