That's actually cool to know, though I dislike the practice, they kinda look like previous century memes lol
That was lost on me either way, but I guess it's just my lack of knowledge on US's history π
The cartoon shows the US aligning with Panama separatist factions to break from Colombia so that they can permit the construction of the channel.
Panama was a separate colony from Colombia, but they joined when becoming independent.
I find it utterly hilarious that the cited purpose is clarity, but the referenced comic required explanation. Bravo.
Also thanks for the explanation because I wasn't getting it, either. Makes sense, though. Give it a few hundred years and English might be so different the labels wouldn't have mattered at all, let alone missing context.
Iβm guessing you just donβt know History very well, i didnβt need any sort of explanation to understand the comic.
Good for you! Totally and completely irrelevant to my point.
The comic already required explanation ... while it had text on it. Nothing you say, do, or believe will EVER change the fact that the comic required explanation about as soon as it was posted.
Grow up and realize you are not the main character. Your beliefs or knowledge do not change reality.
Thanks for the explanation!
I don't necessary know about the intelligence part, I've seen plenty of braindead political cartoons
I'll have you know I put a lot of effort into my own memes
I'm not seeing too many labels. You get an F for this political meme, good sir!
... I know it's not political, but how am I to know without labels??
