Sure.
70 years after we fought a war to defeat fascism, it has been resurrected under the guise of American conservative populisim, in no small part because people have forgotten the lesson of WWII.
I mean, if you're under the impression that we can somehow defeat fascism for all time then never ever have to worry about it ever again, then you'll be sadly disappointed. Freedom requires vigilance.
Not the gloat you wish it was
Except what I said, which was "the most prosperous in the history of the human race" is 100% true. Quality of life for essentially everyone in the entire world went up in the 2nd half of the 20th century way beyond what they were before, even in countries like North Korea and Somalia. Advancements in technology, medicine, and globalization brought wealth to billions, much of which was due to the world order brought about by the allied powers.
Also, not sure why you think fighting fascism in that war was such a bad thing. Do you really think we'd be better off if the Nazis were not opposed?
Yet the decades after were the most prosperous in the history of the human race. Sounds like it was worth it.
In their defense, it is hard to look in a mirror when you have a white hood on.
But I like calling them big dumb doo-doo heads.
Your way requires reading and shit.
Idk, it worked pretty well in the 1940s.
Patriot Front. Why is it always these losers?
Must've been laundry day for that dipshit in the middle.
All I'm saying is that if you asked any given young person why they don't drink, the chances that the reason is "Because I don't want to be an alchololic" or "Because I don't want cancer when I turn 60" is most likely nil.
I know right? It's almost like those scientists are wasting their time.
It's all guesswork in a white coat anyway.
We're talking about kids here. It's highly unlikely they're being deterred by possible health effects 40 years down the line.
If I had to guess, it's probably because they're smoking weed instead.
Not sure how much I believe this. I drank waaaaaay more as a young person. Nowadays as an old man I have maybe 2 drinks a month, if even that.
Would be interesting to see if they're talking about casual beer/wine drinking with meals or more like cocktails & shots to get drunk.
I guess I could read the article, but I'm not going to.
I have noticed that kids today don't have that "fuck it" attitude like we did back in the day, could be a factor.
You guys are gonna hate this one.

Spud Sedition was a friend of mine from back in the day, preacher's son, bisexual punk rock god, an all around hilarious individual. Was in a band called "Order of the Eye," but had to leave after he was kicked out of the house within 24 hours of coming out to his parents. Not sure what's become of him as his online footprint is nonexistant. Last I heard he joined the circus and was with people who cared for him. Not a joke, he literally was a circus ring master.
Enjoy!
P.S. This was how the comic was presented to me for publication, like ripped out of a notebook. I tried to preseve this look in the zine as much as possible.
What did you guys do to stop Trump? Throw some soup on the Mona Lisa?
