Political Memes

Maybe the comic should make that connection, because it doesn't say a single thing about that. It instead says "where'd ya get that land?" "My dad yadda yadda fought for it" "well we're going to use physical violence to remove you from it."

Furthermore, it suggests that "fighting for it" is a good/acceptable thing to do, by that logic I can only assume that the pictured miscreants are OK with how the grandpa "fought" the Native Americans for it. In my view if we're playing these types of bullshit games the ruffians have no claim to my land either unless they're Natives, in fact I have more than the hooligans do by virtue of having inherited or paid for it while the ruffians only claim to my land is "I'm jealous."

The only people that could realistically claim they have more right to that land than I do would be it's original inhabitants, not even another tribe (say it used to be Apache land the Comanche would similarly not have any higher right to claim it than I.) Of course, the tribes often warred and took the other's land, so tbh whoever the apache took it from would have more claim than them, and Cro Magnon before them, Neanderthals before them, and Homo Erectus (lol) before them, all the way back to when ancient Asians crossed the land bridge to get here, those people have the true claim to the land, unless we wanna count Dryopithecus, or protozoans I guess.

Furthermore, that implies that since Russia is "fighting" Ukraine for their land, whoever wins the battle is the morally correct group who should retain ownership of the land even if it's the imperialists who are invading said land rather than the defenders. Personally I believe Russia is in the wrong even if they win, idk about you.

The comic is poorly written, if the point it was trying to get across is "late 18th early 19th century england" specific. Instead it reads as "kill landowners now because at some point when society was less developed imperialism was cool." It's really just pro-imperialism, at the end of the day, with the justification of "well that's what they did 200yr ago so it's cool when we do it now"

In conclusion, what's your address? If you don't own a house what's your parent's address? That land and house will become mine just as soon as I kill your dad. That's how it works right? Do I get to keep his wife too, if we're playing by caveman rules? And his sons become free labor to work the fields and I can marry off your sisters for a dowry of an ox and three chickens? No? Why not?
