"Associated with"? That's definitely incorrect. Maybe"referencing", "calling out" or even "denouncing"...
Associate: a mental connection between ideas or things.
"the word bureaucracy has unpleasant associations"
the action of making a mental connection.
See? I can paste definitions too! I was merely pointing out that that specific word choice could lead the reader to infer collaboration or partnership. The comic is clearly not endorsing that worldview...
Yep, definitely dealing with a rational, intelligent human here. No need to engage...
I don't know what to tell you mate. You came off to me as if trying to tell me I didn't use the word "associate" correctly, and I was trying to show you that I, in fact, did. I got nothing else for ya.
