What we get upset about. Cartoon for Dutch newspaper Trouw: https://www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tjeerd-royaards~bcb45712/

#GasPrices #oil #OilPrices #Iran

Trouw

Tjeerd Royaards

Cartoon consisting of two panels. In the first panel, we see a  billboard with a graph showing the rising number of victims of the war in the Middle East. People are walking and driving by, ignoring the billboard. In the second panel we see the same billboard and graph, except that the graph is now showing the rising gas prices. Cars have stopped in the middle of the street and people are looking up in consternation and panic at the billboard.

@royaards

Not to worry! Someday soon we'll be able to kill all the people we want in developing countries and the cost of transpo won't budge.

And! We'll be able to do it with minimal "friendly" casualties but...yes, there is always a "but"...the robot losses may be severe.

We'll learn to usefully lament *their* grisly deaths too tho! Just to keep the righteous anger levels up to a properly useful patriotic level.

Cry, cry for the bots.

@royaards Sad but true where Israel stubs a toe and it is the end of the world but you can pile up dead Muslims and nobody cares. Tragic

@royaards Agreed. My reason for posting about gas prices is simple -- people dying 7,000 miles away is abstract. But you see the price at the pump roughly every week.

Yes that's fscking horrible but it is true.

I hope it is. The axis labeling is wrong.

Sickeningly, a very apt reflection of the majority of people, in no way limited to NL, Europe, or "the West".

@royaards that's because people are detached from those being murdered but directly hit in the pocket by fuel prices. The media also masks the horrors and pain of human loss.

@royaards Sadly people always worry about things only if it affects them in some way.

@royaards sadly so true, but I am most worried about is the environment. Oil spills, fires and who knows what chemicals they use.
