My genuinely schizophrenic friends really don't like when schizophrenia is used as the punchline of a joke.

I mean, taxes help pay for roads. I want there to be taxes. We just need the rich to pay their fair share.

Am I missing the joke, or is this potentially offensive towards people with schizophrenia?

Saw the comic, gave my downvote, thought I maybe misunderstood and checked the comments. Nope, just a really stupid take.

Ignorance is not some genetic trait treated with medication but a temporary condition that can be solved with education.

Schizophrenia is neither indicative of nor required for a person to be fooled or coerced into paying money to the bourgeoisie.

What’s a “schizophrenic civilization”?

At first I thought the artist was ignorant, or perhaps making fun of that position by presenting it in a particularly unflattering way. But no, you're just an asshole.

The only way taxes become unecessary is if money, and a profit based society, stops existing.

If not, well...

• The guys fixing the roads need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.
• The nurses at the hospital need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.
• The librarians need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.
• The postal workers all need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.
• The office workers slaving away at a desk to manage all the government's resources and finances need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.

Never thought Liberals had major schizophrenia.
I honestly just thought they were greedy duplicitous people who never hesitated to oppress others if it meant having a better lifestyle than the victims.
In psychology, we just call it dissonance.
