A lot of folk have already mentioned how this obscures relations in capitalism. It also proposes that reality works like Minecraft, that there's an endless untapped world of resources one may freely exploit. How did I raise sheep? I simply did because land and sheep are available.
Furthermore these liberal hypotheticals might as well be saying "workers should be grateful." Well that's not how the world operates. You can't diffuse political and economic tension by moralizing about it. You can't say someone politically opposed to you is simply wrong. You actually have to deal with intractable political differences between people with different interests. Liberals don't believe in this. They don't believe political distinction exists in an economic sense, they believe it's more down to things like individual personality, religion, media consumption, whatever.
Also this kind of didactic comic is what liberals say when they think they're in charge and can simply dismiss or educate their way out of political conflict. In reality, capitalism is all too eager to do things like strike breaking, austerity, imperialism, whatever else. And yet the liberal infographics never discuss this. They never mention what to do if the workers refuse to work, or if there's industrial sabotage, or the state is pressured into forcing the capitalist to offer concessions. That stuff is assumed to never happen and all conflict between worker and capitalist can be smoothed over through the market. Such as: if the worker is upset, they can simply work somewhere else. Yeah well what if the capitalist is upset? History shows they call in the national guard.
