Whenever a kid wouldn’t eat up, or complain about the food it is (or was) a common thing to tell them that kids in Africa have it worse and they should think about them when tossing away all the food. It’s shitty parenting that was prevalent in the 90s (I know from experience). This comic flipped things around.
Just a rehashing of the braindead concept of “how dare you recognize the flaws of current society that we live in and demand that life could be better, more equitable, or just! Don’t you know that others have it worse? So shut up and be complacent with your lot in life instead of trying to improve society!” with the addition of a strawmen argument that intentionally depict the opposition as just “idiots complaining about nothing”
The meme probably ridicules the fact that people in Africa live much worse, that they can starve to death at any moment, and people in America, for example, live much better, but still complain about life.
Can someone explain to me where the problem is here (for most of the other commenters) i dont get it
