Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

Cute Russian comic. The home of the official English version is here if anyone wants to skip ahead (or support them): https://boosty.to/gabiconomics-en

Simply put, racketeering is collecting consistent profit from others through unsavoury means. While it can be as simple as coercing businesses to pay up with threats of violence, racketeers often skirts the "gray" areas of the law, sometimes falling within its lines on a technicality - when utilising fraudulent or abusive extortion schemes. State racketeering is when it's done by government authorities, usually under the guise of legal measures — such as fines, taxes, or licensing procedures.

That elf is class conscious as fuck. Look how naturally and effortlessly she reinforces the status quo. She's not even in the fucking wheel game directly.

I like the way Gabi uses Chief as a name whereas the elf bank lady is using Chief as a class.

Ugh, and we see the bribes for the license pay off in more ways than one gabi-mad

I think in this case it's not just bribes. It's probably a law that's not usually enforced but this lady seems to be very class conscious and very clearly disapproves of what these goblins are doing.

Whether it’s class consciousness or a result of the bribes made possible by class doesn’t make a huge difference in the end - the result is the chief has the capital to afford either or both of the bribes and the “inconsistently” enforced advertising fees gabi-sad

Yeah I'm just saying she is sneering at Gabi in a "know your place" kind of way. She sees this behaviour as a threat to their rule.
