Failed State Funnies
21st Century Karno’s Klassics Issue 12

Kjartan Arnorsson
Having our illusions stripped away is both painful and
illuminating. I look at how the USA
has evolved in the past 50 years from a land of neighbors and neighborhoods to
a land of paranoia, stranger danger, and rampant mistrust. It all serves a
purpose of having us look away from one another, rather than looking at
one another with compassionate eyes.
Capitalism is a system that depends on us being divided,
object wanting, consumers. This zine walks us through the illusions of our
time, the stories we are told about national security, the upper class (so-called
job creators! oh how we worship them), police, the economy, greed, and the government’s
role in sustaining the status quo. The drawings in Failed State Funnies are
spot on, the writing clear and concise, and there’s even a list of books and
zines for further reading. Learn now and awaken before ….
we are lulled deeper
into
separation and ignorance.
