So these comments are mine but if you go to the site the artist comments on the strip. Not all the time but definitely more frequently in the last few years over early on. This is sorta a common shtick I see where the progressive ideals are secretly for personal greedy reasons. I always love it. It is funny because I do see progressive causes from a greedy perspective. I would like all the people I interact with as I move through society to be educated and healthy. I like public spaces. I like well maintained infrastructure. and I’m not afraid to pay taxes for it, provided taxes are collected progressively. People should be able to make a decent wage.

      Not a figure of speech. It’s the difference between substantially accurate and propaganda.

        Thanks for the correction!

        Getting upset over a minor critique of the status quo-upholding elements within liberalism is, ironically, a very liberal thing to do.
