More honest than claiming it'll "trickle down."

But it will!!!!

Joke aside, money would trickle down when workers ensure that key markets like housing and healthcare are competitive and not take whatever wage increase there is.

Can you elaborate more on the second bit? I'm having trouble piecing it together grammatically to understand the sentence.

Housing is a sellers market where buyers compete. There needs to be a surplus of housing so that buyers can choose. Then prices fall to construction costs plus cost of management.

Money would trickle down if workers ensured that key markets like housing and healthcare were competitive, and not systems that take whatever wage increase they can get.

is my read of it

“One day if I work really hard, maybe they’ll let me bite a gazelle!” — The Gazelle

is this sopossed to be a metaphor for something or am i just stupid

The title of the comic is "Tax Deductions" so I can assume Oglaf is satirizing working class people who worship capitalists.

Is this anti-CRT? I fully accept if I'm reaching too far.

You can tell it's not some right-wing boomer cartoon because there's diversity.

For example, the group of lions is (almost) evenly split between male and female lions.

And there is one antelope which is left-handed, while all others are right-handed.

Uhhhh... I... Huh. Holy shit. You're right... Wtf. That's so weirdly cool. I never would have noticed

What makes you think it's anti-CRT?

The panel where the cycle is shown, followed by the gazelle being thankful for being eaten, looks like the rhetoric of anti-CRT.

CRT is when we teach sheeple to be sheep?

I read it as more pro-critical history than anything.

If you go by conspiracy theorists' rhetoric, yes CRT is when sheeple are taught to be sheep.
