A screenshot reads “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov

This comic by Matthew Bors is titled "Mister Gotcha" and was posted on The Nib on September 13th, 2016. The comic features a man trying to own others by pointing out their hypocrisy when they argue for improving society. He first mocks a person tweeting about how Apple doesn't pay livable wages for Chinese workers because the person is tweeting from an iPhone. He then mocks an early-20th century car owner for arguing cars should have seatbelts. He then appears in the last panel mocking a medieval peasant for wanting to "improve society somewhat".
