Care to elaborate? I don't read that this way at all. Where's the skewering? Heck, where's socialism and SJWs? There's a guy who's well-meaning, but has no firm grasp on the concept of money. If that automatically registers as either "socialist" or "SJW" to you, then I'm honestly fascinated to hear your thought process here, because I'm not connecting those particular dots.
Or are you referring to something else?

That is certainly an odd take on the comic. It was specifically saying capitalism is a broken system. I too would like to know how you came to your conclusion.
chris73:
Sure. Episode 4299 Roko talks about using the SJ angle and then we see her real intentions in the next panel which neatly sums up a lot of SJWs in that they talk about things like peaceful protesting but the real aim is loot, burn and pillage
Epsiode 4300 the guy that brings up abolishing the carceral state (which is the sort of thing more people on the left rather than the right tend to think is a good idea) is a well meaning but completely clueless idiot that then starts to think about physically blowing up something that doesn't physically exist
Todays episode is basically socialism at its finest, the guy in charge has no idea how money works yet decides it must be a poorly-designed system and not that maybe he himself is a complete idiot that has access to plenty of money but wastes it on stuff like particle cannons so the last couple of episodes have been quite critical in a way I didn't expect do well done to the author for keeping everyone on their toes
Of course I may also have got this interpretation completely wrong

But the person saying it thinks you can blow up something that doesn't physically exist so I'm not sure we should read it as capitalism is a broken system
I personally think that capitalism is the best form of government we have or have ever had, of course I'm also from New Zealand where we have capitalism but with a large social welfare safety net which is good but could use some tweaking

In my experience, anyone who uses the acronym "SJW" is probably a neo-nazi. Or a neo-USSRarian (I just made that up, but it describes them very well).
