  • They just killed the mammoth, it’s a joke partially about hunting buddies, partially about the fact you can’t take a mammoth down alone, partially about him getting to keep the carcass (dismissing his friend, neither of them could move it anyways).

    The hole in the side is bad drawing. It’s just supposed to indicate the creature is dead dead.



  • This was all planned long ago, back in the 2000s, James Woolsey (ex head of the CIA), Jacob Rothschild, Dick Cheney, and Rupert Murdoch all invested large sums of money onto Genoe Energy, the oil exploration company charged with surveying and drilling the contested Golan Heights area which is just outside of Israel’s border.

    …the problem? It’s in Syria. So now it will become Israel’s as they bomb the area in preparation for settlement (straight up Colonialism, it never ended just become one of the many under handed behaviors enabled under Capitalism).

    So this is the planning, the investments from the wealthy ruling class members of multiple countries, the political lobbying, and the geopolitical military industrial complex that serves that ruling class, all coming together.

    So anyways, that’s what I interpret this image to be about. Genie Energy has a Wikipedia page that can confirm the above details if anyone is interested.

    P.S I suspect Turkey is represented for contributing fighters and doing administration, or being part of the carve up. But perhaps someone more familiar with that can add more about their involvement. They stood to benefit no matter who “won”.











  • Turns out things won’t go well for the albatross (it will get shot). The saying, “to wear an albatross around one’s neck” is an indication of having been cursed. It comes from a 227 year old poem. From Wikipedia:

    In the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, an albatross follows a ship setting out to sea, which is considered a sign of good luck. However, the titular mariner shoots the albatross with a crossbow, an act that will curse the ship and cause it to suffer terrible mishaps. Unable to speak due to lack of water, the ship’s crew let the mariner know through their glances that they blame him for their plight and they tie the bird around his neck as a sign of his guilt. From this arose the image of an albatross around the neck as metaphor for a burden that is difficult to escape.

  • I think you’re correct, and the “shipyard” here is what’s known as “group therapy”. Group therapy is depicted in fight club, and it was often declared by the person running it when they had “a new person arrive to the group”, or when someone was “leaving the group”, making it seem like a notable event (much like a ship’s maiden voyage is a notable event).

    A meme I don’t think should be promoted right now, because it spread their picture around.

    …now if we want to distort the image so it has someone else’s face, thus confusing the popular idea of what they look like - I’m all for that.


  • Yes, it’s important to skill stack in order to remain competi… Hey where are you going! No you’re not allow up there to live your own life and develop as you please! Get back down here to compete against others just like you!

    …and whatever you do, don’t form collective sympathies for each other, against your economic “betters”.

    For that would risk a general strike.
