For those like me who like to have more context and enjoy learning about things, there is a Snopes article describing this cartoon (and many others) from the 1969 issue of Mad Magazine. I found it an interesting read.

Except they now love the very rich and lick their boots at every opportunity.
Mad Magazine not mad max, my bad, typo in title
I read the whole interchange of your experience, and thank you. But even from my own perspective (left Reddit during the API debacle), it felt like, "hail traveler! What news from yonder?"
It was nice. Thanks haha
Let’s take a minute to appreciate the real victims of patriotism, the “very rich”
Substitute "liberal elite" and you have your 21st century bogeyman
Thats probably a more accurate and charitable meaning of what they are referring to here, I’m just being cheeky. Cause that’s the thing, all the “rich” people that conservative middle class people are mad at are upper middle class people lol it’s people that have it slightly better than them, ignoring / simping on the mega rich
🎶One of these things is not like the others!🎶
I love looking through these small windows into our near past! It shows that some people were definitely as based then as many are now!
I realize this is only slightly related, but I really miss Don Martin.
It's always intrigued and annoyed me when the term "liberal" is used in this manner. I generally assume that, when the term is used, it isn't being used to refer to the political science concept of "liberalism" — I would guess that it is being used in place of something like "leftist" (which is a rather nebulous term in itself). At the very least, I would hope that any person, who is currently enjoying the fruits of relative civility, and prosperity in the western world understands that they are doing so because of liberalism.
1969 Mad Magazine would be cancelled by the 'liberals' now. All the artists for the magazine would tweet about topics in retaliation driving them further away and the liberals would shout more and they'd take to social media more and eventually we get a Mad Magazine owned by TPUSA
What's it like living a strange fantasy world where you hate everyone without understanding why?
