Bickel yes I can see his humour . . . and the word is the same in English . . . abattoir.
David Dees in his satirical art, highlights corruption in today's era and shows the 'hidden hands pulling the strings'.
He often portrays ordinary citizens in modern society as unaware victims (sheeple) who are enjoying being brainwashed and killed by their unhealthy lifestyles.
There is also the brainwashing (propaganda) from the controlled media and the corporate takeover of the government to consider.
To highlight the horrors of the modern age ddees sometimes compares today to 50 years ago.
Sorry if I can see the link and others cannot, David Dees would be able to see the link.
Anyway it does not matter really.
To appreciate satirical art one has to concur with the subject material, otherwise it is not funny.

Then I see. Just I don't know the guy and most of his styles, and also in Europe the average weight of the people is far lower than what can be seen in US. So I was not sure what the connection was with your presentation of the situation. Well, in fact you might appreciate to read that some other people think alike. Then in French, the "topics", and also the "topics2".

Ok thanks for showing me http://www.syti.net/
I will look at it in more detaii later.
Also in my post I did not say there was any kind of link to my original writings.
I said (in response to you showing me the Bickel cartoon).
--- Citer ---I like the satirical art of David Dees http://ddees.com/ - there are galleries of his work on his website.
For example

My reason for posting that, was in response to your post (not to my post).
You showed me some satirical art (a cartoon) and so I thought you might be interested in my favourite satirical artist.
So in a way I suppose, I used your comment to bring the topic back to my original writings (fair enough).
On that topic (mass mind manipulation and propaganda).
Mark Twain once said something like . . . "It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled".
Therefore when I try to convince people that things are not what they seem . . . their normal reaction is to disagree with me and say I am a conspiracy nut.
Eventually though, they start to realise there might be some truth in what I tell them.
It is very satisfying when they eventually begin to tell me similar things and I can then say "I told you so".
It is difficult to convince people as they mostly believe the mainstream media and government and corporate lies.
The annoying thing is that in Britain we have to pay a TV license fee, which is used to feed us all the mainstream BS.
I don't watch the mainstream British TV but I still have to pay.
The alternative media also sometimes deliberately, or unknowingly, misleads people . . . half of it might be dis-information, so you need to be very careful and sift through it, without taking it on face value. Very difficult. People can't be bothered to do that.
When people tell me that this or that politician is good, I think "shall I tell them what I know? . . ." sometimes it is not worth all the effort because they don't want to listen and will 'put up a wall'.
Also some people have not got the mental capacity to think and analyse things very deeply . . . so telling them would be like throwing 'pearls to swine' it would be pointless.
Like explaining technical things to non-technical people . . . they haven't a clue so they have to take a 'leap of faith' to take on board what you are saying and even then they don't understand what you are talking about.
All good fun.
