      I would highly encourage you to talk to and learn from people that do not think or agree with your views!

      We must remember that being human include trying to be empathetic that those we do not like or agree with as well!

      I hope we continue to grow and learn as we head to the future!

          Too many topics we can talk about…

          …but meme can be taken as, people with power/influence use their influence/power to create propaganda so as to keep the working class fighting each other.

          Mass immigration is caused by wars/famine/gov’ts, which in turn keeps working class fighting the foreignors instead of the people that caused it.

          It goes back to the people in power seeing humans<profit

          Any thoughts on any of this?

            …but meme can be taken as, people with power/influence use their influence/power to create propaganda so as to keep the working class fighting each other.

            I can see that. However if I’m doing this meme (which of course is impossible because I’m bad at drawing) I’d have exaggerated the rich guy’s statement to be simply false. Like “Careful mate this guy may kill you for the cookie!”. This is because propaganda can sometime be straight out lies. On the other hand, the statement in OP can be correct, and is probably so in this particular picture due to the depiction of how the guy on the left is sad that he has no cookies.

            Mass immigration is caused by wars/famine/gov’ts, which in turn keeps working class fighting the foreignors instead of the people that caused it.

            I think that’s over simplifying a complicate issue.

            It goes back to the people in power seeing humans<profit

            I think that happens a lot of the time with/without foreigners involving, unfortunately.

        Is that an option? Because I’d also like to quit my job if we can have the rich’s cookies instead.

      He’s not wrong in that the foreigner wants cookies from any source, but he’s not being truthful in that he’s misrepresenting the situation by implying the only cookie that can be given away is the worker’s

        What? I think it’s fair to assume that the guy on the left does want some cookies. Therefore although the old guy with a lot cookies is an asshole, his statement was not wrong.
