I honestly believe Stephan Pastis is a better and more insightful satirist than anything you would see on (for example) The Daily Show.

it's been too late for the "let's all work together!!" approach for years

it is now the owner class, their nazi sheep supporters, and everyone who's not in that club that they want to kill

I think you are ignoring the message at the end of this comic about why they have supporters.

yes. from birth to death, americans are force-fed a steady diet of lies, distractions, american exceptionalism--on top of the guilt, fear, and shame pounded into their skulls by religion

i work at an academic library. not only are kids woefully unprepared for higher education, but they are coming into the world without even a grasp of how to think critically about the information they're being presented with, let alone why

the comic is correct, for sure, but my point stands
