27 years later, I finally know what this cartoon means!

From here.

Note there's no implement of capture that got that guy into the grinder.
No snares, tethers, nets, handcuffs, no gun, no rag soaked in chloroform, no nothing.
Just the two guys, and the grinder, and the plate to catch the meat.

The guy got in the grinder willingly.
Oh, he regrets it NOW, but he got in there on his own power.

And now I know why.

The guy pushing the button represents the corporations and the (mostly Republican) politicians.

The grinder is the system, the plate is their stock portfolio, their bottom line, and the guy being turned to burger is us.

Coronavirus has put it all in stark relief.

The rich are coming right out and saying it now "here, piggy, piggy, get in the grinder! Aw, come on, please!?".

And the Christian conservative zombies have Stockholm syndrome, and are like "yes sireee!! I sure will! Wheee!!! *crunch, crackle, crunch!!*".

Only difference, my guy regrets the choice, and in his last moment, is calling out to his mommy.

Conserva-zombies grin like a dead Joker-venom victim right up until the last crunch.

Teenage me wasn't a psycho, he was a prophet.
Good on ya, teenage me.
