I prefer the original version with the Rupert Murdoch allusion.
Why did someone even change the text to just remove “mate”?
Because “mate” is an Australian thing. They were probably trying to localize it for a non Australian audience. While still valid, the meme hits differently if the rich person is also a foreigner.
The proportion of wealth was a little off; this is a little closer to reality.
Yeah but if the proportion of wealth was accurately reflected, we wouldn’t be able to read the speech bubble because the cookies would obstruct it. That is why the artist wisely chose to ensmallen the wealth of the wealthy in this portrayal.
