I see the grey ash covered tumbleweeds cover the barren wasteland.

Basically the Matrix.

Never release captive humans in to the wild. They don't have the same survival instincts as feral humans and will fall victim to predation.

What the fuck is this madness???

We already live in cages. Our parents put us there when we were born. They were already there. Non of us is free and we'd die if released

Im not quite getting the 'funny' tag on this, is there a joke I'm missing?
StuckInBetweeen
It's a specific type of humor, funny to some.
dogmo
It’s not ‘slip on a banana peel’ funny, but I thought getting ‘rescued’ from a beautiful place and coming back to this shithole was funny.
NemoVi113
It is

Seems more like a complaint about current conditions rather than humor but I laugh at weird stuff too

Astronauts are snakes. Boom. Religious comic.

It's bastardisation of Plato's Cave really.

The hyperboloid cooling towers (commonly associated with nuclear power plants) should be emitting white steam, not black smoke.
Iamaperson1166
What should that sonic-the-hedgehog building on the left side be emitting?
iceynyo
That's where they make the speed.
3Davideo
Smoke rings.
ReverseSyzygy
People's skin shouldn't be blue or purple. Maybe the white balance is off.
hapthebat
Does that mean they've decided on a nuclear pope? I can never remember.

It's like PETA rescuing pets and releasing them into the wild.
emertex
I thought PETA rescued abused animals, not perfectly happy ones with smiles on their faces in clean spacious areas.
Bacxaber
PETA just kills animals, dude.
MagicalScientist
PETA doesn't want any animals in any form of captivity. Even the ones that rely on humans. There's a post that goes around about them kidnap
MagicalScientist
ping dogs off of porches and killing a bunch of perfectly adoptable dogs. I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
delmain
Peta considers all pet-keeping to be abuse, last I heard.
LeSethX
Last I heard, PETA views the word "pets" negatively, even derogatory.
NameyMcUsername
Maybe a few abused ones slipped in, but man PETA loves killing dogs
emertex
...
chainmaille
I think PETA love killing cats more though.
Chirikain
no, if it were pete they would be put down.

Pete sounds like a cum flavored cunt waffle

Yeah! Fuck you Pete!

Personally it’s like the Truman show what’s better? A fake world with fake people who don’t actually care about you? Or a chance to learn
Sitraka
Learning.
MainlyHereForTheSpellingAndPuns
Well, I'm in a real world with real and fake people who don't actually care about me, so...
NacLac
I'm fairly certain that the ones closest to Truman truly loved him. But not more than anything else.
THEREDHO0D
I don’t think his dad was real quick to turn around and be part of the show again and he joined the people trying to keep him in there
Somanyquestions
I'd say it's more like the Matrix. Leave a comfortable bubble to be thrown into a dystopian mess.

My life is already a Truman Show.

Would you like me to fix you some Mococoa drink? All natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners.

Can I have it with honey please?

But with 0 viewers and the only actors are your pets.

And my therapist is the director of my show. lol.... :(
wellthisjustgotinteresting
Speaking as an actor, if I was an actor in a "Truman Show" situation, it wouldn't be unlikely for me to actually grow fond of the lead.
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
Truman actually struck me as a bit sociopathic. Good at hiding his real feelings and will do anything to get what he wants.
Madomasi
English baffles me, so what's the difference between "wouldn't be unlikely" and " would be likely"
wellthisjustgotinteresting
"Wouldn't be unlikely" is specifically in response to an assertion or implication that it would be unlikely.

A gilded cage is still a cage

does it matter if you don't know about it ?

I am not ready for a debate of such measure yet, but I would like to sometime

Pretty sure they were on another planet with an actual clean environment given the spaceship and alien but I could be wrong
ThatLoserTheFourth
Looks like they were in some sort of enclosure. Look at the second panel, they're looking into their habitat through a window
THEREDHO0D
Real love and learn real lessons and see the beauty in our world not everything will be like that fake but sometimes it is better

He is, essentially, a slaver. He trades the agency and right to self-determination of others for his own comfort. Shoot him in the face.
Lashiel87
I agree, he is filth who deserved his fate. But he makes a valid point. Sometimes ignorance is bliss
linearcore
Only for those who choose it. He worked to force ignorance on others. Also, "bliss" is not the end state we should shoot for.

I agree with the first, autonomy is my deepest core value as is informed consent. I disagree in that I believe everyone get to choose their

I was with him until he started betraying his comrades. Had he staged a mutiny it would have likely succeeded. Morpheus' recruitment methods

were extremely manipulative and nasty. Not to mention the whole "eating vomit" crap. Making something more palatable should have been EASY.

They could have loaded up the same steak in the staging environment.

You spelled "Tasty Wheat" wrong, though the pallet description is spot on, according to some people.

The Matrix movies insist that humans being enslaved is a bad thing and it's just kinda like...eh, is it really?
GlowstickJedi
Would you rather live where you do now or North Korea?
linearcore
Yes. Outside the Matrix you have the opportunity to make life better. Inside, you lose all agency and will never have the chance.
woogigooie
But at the same time, most people will never know they don't have agency.
linearcore
That's irrelevant. Ignorance of your lack of agency does not remove it.
woogigooie
Ignorance is bliss I suppose
