You know, I couldn’t really figure out what this comic was commenting on until now. It’s rich people. The lions are rich people “educating” the masses on why they should be thankful that the lions exist.
Yeah, it is a really good one. But I keep seeing people not getting the metaphor behind it. So normally I’d be like, seriously dude, you had to write that out? But in this case, yes, yes you had to and thank you for that!
Yeah, I don’t know why it took so long to click.
It can be applied to any hegemonic class, really.
But yes, it’s rich people. Public schools may have originally risen out of defiance of the hegemony, at least in some notably locations, but they were quickly captured by it.
Schools over a place where the rich of the past can be aggrandised, and the rich of the present can ensure the workforce gains the basic skills to keep making them money, while also hearing about how it is right, and natural, and inevitable that they get to keep the product of your labour.
Ah, the rare lesser spotted SFW Oglaf.

A normally very NSFW comic called Oglaf. Brilliantly written, but don’t browse at work.
Damn, that hits hard
Capitalism in a nutshell.
Not really - the lions actually provide a benefit, unlike capitalism. The comic can be taken completely seriously and it’s true. Predators are very important to an ecosystem.
As a resident of a state where deer kill more people than the mountain lions we eradicated ever did, this rings true.
Along that line, you could argue that capitalists perform a similar function in economic ecosystems, exploiting the poor and swallowing up the weak. But then human society isn’t built to create an efficient profit mechanism. It exists to provide safety, cooperation, discovery, and the betterment of all humankind. Nobody needs to suffer at the hands of the economic predators.
Unlike in nature where you can just rip whatever you want away from whatever has it, under capitalism the only way to “prey” on others is to provide them something they willingly choose to buy.
