So this is an American thing, which makes it no wonder I find it unfunny, because we don't have the "Republican" mental disease here to anywhere near the extend of USA. Republicans are insane, and if it's making fun of them, I can see how Americans would find that funny.
But without a special social context, it's just stupid.
It could just as well be understood as people who are happy about lower priced RAM from China, are sickos because they are happy China is selling RAM in the West. That's the context I saw.
Hardly an "American" thing. I don't know where you are. I know you have conservatives. If you're in Canada, you have that mental disease. UK, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, Japan, Africa, Asia, Europe yup. The one place that's relatively free of it is the Arctic.
Any humor outside of slapstick and pratt falls requires context. You were given it. It follows basic concepts and principles of comedy that are recognized everywhere. Subversion of expectations, ridiculing those with power. It's plenty humorous. The problem lies with you not it.
They're litteraly the type the cartoon is ridiculing. That's the whole point of it. Many in western nations, not even remotely just the US. Will unironically 100% chastize and attack anyone expressing that sentiment. Because they are commies etc. Even though China isn't even remotely communist. Even though the semiconductor cartels absolutely deserve no sympathy or defense. If not carrying water or defending abusive semiconductor cartels makes you a sicko I will wear the moniker with pride. And I think you would too. That's all that was ever implied.
