That’s actually cool to know, though I dislike the practice, they kinda look like previous century memes lol

For example, see this political cartoon from 1903.

That was lost on me either way, but I guess it’s just my lack of knowledge on US’s history 👀

The cartoon shows the US aligning with Panama separatist factions to break from Colombia so that they can permit the construction of the channel.

Panama was a separate colony from Colombia, but they joined when becoming independent.

I find it utterly hilarious that the cited purpose is clarity, but the referenced comic required explanation. Bravo.

Also thanks for the explanation because I wasn’t getting it, either. Makes sense, though. Give it a few hundred years and English might be so different the labels wouldn’t have mattered at all, let alone missing context.

I’m guessing you just don’t know History very well, i didn’t need any sort of explanation to understand the comic.

I’m not seeing too many labels. You get an F for this political meme, good sir!

… I know it’s not political, but how am I to know without labels??
