The Perfect Explanation of Privilege – In One Powerful Punchline
“The Pencilsword” is a comic strip by Toby Morris, an illustrator from New Zealand. His most recent comic, “On a Plate” hits hard at the heart of the issues of concerning wealth and privilege.
How many times have you heard the “I’ve never been handed anything on a platter” argument in regard to social security and other social benefits?
Toby wrecks this argument by showing how two children can grow up, be loved and supported, and yet still have two very different outcomes.
Make sure to follow all the way to the end for the powerful punchline. This comic is an increasingly sad reality for far too many of this nation’s children and families.

shut up about the economy. shut the fuck up about the economy, what’s the economy ever done for me, i can’t get a job with a living wage and it costs a week's wages to get a single train ticket to see my parents and most things in my budget are that cheap cuz they’re made with slave labour and i can still get fired for being trans if i’m ever hired at all and quite frankly the illusion of choice isn’t worth the suffering of others or the death of the planet, shut up about the fucking economy i do not worship the squiggly lines i have basic fucking empathy i want to exist without harming others. i want to exist without harming others!!! i want no one to ever be hurt again!!!!!
August 27 2020 - Protesters demanding a $30 minimum wage for Amazon workers set up a guillotine in front of one of Jeff Bezos’ homes, after he became the first person to have hoarded over 200 billion dollars. “Give a good reason why we don’t deserve a $30 an hour minimum wage when this man makes $4,000 a second,” an organizer and former Amazon employee said.
