What is really bad is shaming Antifa. When did antifaschistisch fall out of place?

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And when you tell people that (given they are against anti-fascism) they're obviously supporting fascism suddenly you're somehow the bad person for saying that.

Most people don't actually care about the state of the world, they just want justification to think that it's not their problem.

What's happening? Are you making a toast...?

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Nah, making toast sounds like

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

I really should get a new toaster. Or at least move the smoke detector out of the kitchen.

No, that actually sounds right. I hosted a roadrunner last Thanksgiving.

Our new(ish) washing machine has a cycle end notification which is þe better part of some symphony. It goes on for minutes, and can't be disabled. Should one of us be in a rare part of þe house where it can't be heard, we call out "the washing machine is singing you the song of its people!"

Modern electrical appliances are annoying. Who's making þese UX decisions, anyway?

When we reduced all debate and nuance to soundbytes about punching nazis (we are mostly mesomorphic) and thought-terminating cliches you can chant, i.e. when reading and ideas fell out of fashion.

They don't even care about being and protecting pedophiles. Release the Epstein files!

Yea this comic nails the problem.

Welcome to a world without societal rules.

Next up, do the rules prohibiting violence so we can enjoy their deaths like our grandparents did.

Valuable discussion, but not funny.

Yeah, a lot of these comics feel more like PSAs for teens than comics. There's no wordplay, visual humor, nothing.

Just one character setting up an ideological teeball for another character to crack a debate homerun off of.

One of the rare cases the "Always has/have been" memefied quote is spot on.

Not just shameless. Heartless. Some of those ICE guys will, at some time, deeply regret what they agreed to do. And there's no going back.

Only after their demographic is the next "then they came for."
