No and no. Every oar handle goes forward and back at the same time and the boat goes forward. That just means that the rowers facing backwards are doing the movements in the opposite phase compared to the rowers facing forwards, pulling when the others are pushing and so on.
The only issue I see, is that the oar on the left has nobody holding it. And ofc the side of the boat is missing.
In the future when the mechanisms of wealth extraction have been honed to perfection, this will be a feature of the system.
Jk it already is.
