Love the weird scale of threat depicted here.
-smol bean megacorporation
-regular bean fbi man
-Big Hacker, the big hacker lobbyist
-giant evil FOREIGNER with their evil UNIFORM and MEDALS
-ect, other guys, artist kind of blew his load drawing all those evil medals
Like the scale implies I should be most worried about the biggest guy, but I live in America. The feds are the biggest threat to me. You can tell this wasn't drawn by a leftist because...well, almost everything, but mostly because of how normal they seem to think the FBI is, and how small a deal being spied on by them apparently is compared to being spied on by someone that doesn't have the capacity to send a death squad to my apartment at any moment.
I also love the idea that all these people are waiting, specifically, for YOUR phone. This is masterful propaganda. Only thing missing is Putin drawn with bat wings, bloody fangs, and black eyes, and Zelensky as an angel blocking Putin.
Almost as though the cartoonist just drew a load of their stock characters and then added labels instead of putting thought into it.
Yeah the choice of scale is very weird, why are hackers larger than the FBI? Also doesn't really seem mutually exclusive
Because whoever made this (naively) trusts their government
That's only because the FBI guy and the Oppressive Regime guy have become the same guy
Astronaut behind astronaut, Always have been
Probably more of a "Corporate wants you to find the difference..." than the astronaut one.
