Naw man just a personal observation based on my experience with Spanish art. Guess it was a bit of a positive stereotype, sorry.

Theres a lot of really dark spanish art, because truly dark things happened here. And is a country that has lost a whole empire. And countries never really recover from that. They feel wounded and dismembered like forever.
But for most other things that matter, the spanish art celebrate life, if in a bit of procedural way.

Unnecessary explanation and panels are some of my least favorite things about political cartoons. All this comic needs is the second panel and Trump's hand colored orange.

Franco really lacked any real ideology other than running a country like some military barracks.

He finally opened the hand to freedom when most his economic theories failed. You can't run a country like you run a army. It was ~40 years of starvation, with the spanish having serious trouble to find food. Franco starved the country literally more than politically.

USA helped here a bit, when spain opened, and countries like Norway, Sweden, Germany... with the tourist money. Tourism changed the tone of the country, because was a way to allow new ideas and ways to live, and the fresh money helped put the economy in movement.

Humm...

I hope I see the Cuba free one day, while democracy have is downsides it will be awesome to see Cuba in the international context and what can be their contribution to the world. I think they are a peculiar people and maybe what we are missing is a lot. Cuba Libre!

I'm staring to think politicians shouldn't use more than one clause per sentence because the electorate can't remember anything past about 7 words

Or the problem might be that people have longer memories than one speech or even one campaign season. Replacement jobs have been promised, but not delivered on before. Clinton failed to convince people that this time it would be different.

I don't think it would have been different. But then again, neither will it be with Trump. He seems to have forgotten about the whole issue.

Makes sense. With fast food raising prices due to a larger minimum wage/cost of robots, it will become more of a "sometimes food" rather than a "lunch every day" food, leading to much better health. Let's do it.

Bertrand Russell posted:


This is the morality of the Slave State, applied in circumstances totally unlike those in which it arose. No wonder the result has been disastrous. Let us take an illustration. Suppose that, at a given moment, a certain number of people are engaged in the manufacture of pins. They make as many pins as the world needs, working (say) eight hours a day. Someone makes an invention by which the same number of men can make twice as many pins: pins are already so cheap that hardly any more will be bought at a lower price. In a sensible world, everybody concerned in the manufacturing of pins would take to working four hours instead of eight, and everything else would go on as before. But in the actual world this would be thought demoralizing. The men still work eight hours, there are too many pins, some employers go bankrupt, and half the men previously concerned in making pins are thrown out of work. There is, in the end, just as much leisure as on the other plan, but half the men are totally idle while half are still overworked. In this way, it is insured that the unavoidable leisure shall cause misery all round instead of being a universal source of happiness. Can anything more insane be imagined?

Not only did he draw humanoid robots instead of a more plausible setup with mechanical arms and conveyor belts, they are also wearing polos and caps instead of simply being painted in the appropriate livery.
