What we get upset about.

@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.

@nazokiyoubinbou @royaards Hi, did you met many humans & other mammals who were more concerned by many (unknown) "there", than by (their own's) here?

@royaards

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

RE
worry about things only if it affects them in some way

Maybe why the #TrumpEpsteinFiles event was not news back before 2019 or 2008 or last few months

@TCatInReality
Thx 4 orig Tjeerd boost

@royaards Looks AI generated.

@jor @royaards

I hope it is. The axis labeling is wrong.

[royaards@newsie.social]

@ChristianRiegel @jor I'm a cartoonist, not a graph maker, so composition (placement of the text) comes first. Second, before you accuse me of using AI to make my cartoons (I do not), could you just do a minimum of investigation into my work?

@kdl this is to your point

[privacymatters@defcon.social]

@royaards People only tend to care about things that directly affect them - which is kinda sad.

[atlovato@mastodon.social]

@royaards - And all caused by the Orange Man.

[fuzzygroup@ruby.social]

@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.

Tjeerd, I think you hit a nerve.

@royaards i think it’s a side effect of not having a draft

@royaards im14andthisisdeep ahhh comic

[vgoller@nrw.social]

@royaards excellent

[archivescribe@mastodon.social]

@royaards Horrible but true.

[christianriegel@digitalcourage.social]

@royaards

I'm sorry that as an artist, you feel as offended as clearly do. Please believe me, I love the message of the cartoon.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@royaards How about this?

Victims : 🤬
Gas prices :

@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
