This comic depicts four people who couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to anything for ten years.
I have no sympathy.
So the vast majority?
That is correct.
That doesn’t help the cause though, in fact this exact attitude might be a pretty big part of why we’re all in deep shit now.

I like you. Keep spreading the message.
Well said, my friend.
I oy wish i were actually capable of that. But my autistic ass is inherently alienating for some reason. Best thing I could do is shut up

People tend not to like the solutions I come up with. Something something collateral damage, violence is always bad (except when it helps found the country for some reason?), no 2024 totally wasnt stolen, ect ect.
Take - and make - your opportunities to change minds. Don’t be afraid, but be careful. Don’t be polite for the sake of politeness, but be kind, be considerate, even be gentle when you think it will help, but don’t be polite.
Not to put too fine a point on it: No.
The horses have been led to the water many times. They are welcome to drink whenever they choose. The time for talking is over.

ten65 yearsWhat option were they given?
To pay attention or to not pay attention…
Pay all the attention you want, it’s not like anyone was ever actually given the option out of this mess through the system.
I’m out of this mess through the system. They didn’t do shit to stop me getting on a plane and flying across the ocean last Monday to a more civilized part of the world. It has its own problems, but at least people don’t get into things like massive healthcare debt.
Voting. They were given the option to vote, but chose to be the type that “don’t care much about politics”
Why would they bother? Who actually represents them? Both major parties are corporate captured.
One of them isnt trying install a theocracy.
No, they just stepped aside and profited from donations while it happened
Sure buddy, Dems might be nearly uselesss because of that, but they weren’t actively trying to overthrow the goverment or kill democracy
No, they just stepped aside and profited from donations while it happened
Did you ever canvass for any alternative candidate or do you expect them to just rise out of the ether?
So replace the term “both parties” with “the only party” by categorically discarding all faith and worship in all political parties that have done absolutely nothing for anyone of the working class.
Then make a new party that’s even better.
That’s what the Greens and PSL elected to do. They’re the best way out that doesn’t involve bloodshed.
And I’m sure their policies would introduce runoff voting for future elections; but as it stands, most voters are currently voting out of fear of “the other big party” - for which voting Green poses an extreme risk.
but as it stands, most voters are currently voting out of fear of “the other big party”
Which is a confidence game. The big parties only matter because people have been convinced that they matter. Once this illusion is broken, real progress can begin, but until it is broken the US will simply continue its vicious cycle into oblivion.
Besides, what chance to Dems have of winning at this rate anyway? What chance did they have leading up to this past election as they covered up Biden’s dementia, enabled a genocide, and imposed a candidate of their choosing after denying the people actual democracy? Are they redeemable?
The status quo vs … gestures wildly ???
If the status quo was working, people would have gone with it
Well, this new alternative is working out wonderfully.
“BoTH siDes aRe the SAme!”
Yes, yes they are. Actually the Republicans at least have the virtue of being honest about being evil. Dems are too craven to even admit that.

i’M sO pUrE!!! 😇🤪🤩Millions of self-destructively lazy, stupid mediocre people shouted in unison (again):
Vote for a woman? When PIGS fly!!!Or if Biden had remained in the race:
sLeePy JoE! LoL!Yeah, and 70 million people voted for a fascist.
But it’s okay because he is their fascist.
It’s really important to promote leopards so they don’t eat your face when they get hungry.
I mean you can exist in this world if you want to. It is more fun than the truth which is sad and boring.
Most people really do care and have good intentions, but are too overworked and too uneducated to pull apart the propaganda that’s being pushed to them 24/7.
The oligarchs didn’t win when Trump got elected the second time. The won when they got control over the media. That was a while back.
Not just a woman, a black woman.
She’s black now? I thought she was Indian. /s
Are you sure? I checked around and couldn’t find much about this. Cable and broadcast news don’t seem to be reporting it, and none of the major newspapers. It’s not supported by X or Facebook either. I don’t see a lot of books about it on my Kindle. I mean, that’s quite a conspiracy theory you’ve got going there. For it to work, a small group of people would have to somehow hold over half the wealth of America and use it to elect politicians with so few scruples that they’ll appoint anyone to powerful offices. Even that is assuming they could somehow pack courts with compliant judges who are willing to declare that corporations are people and money is speech. Next, you’ll be telling me that a median salary is unlikely without a degree that costs almost as much as a new car, but that it doesn’t matter anyway because a median salary can’t support a family in the same standard of living they were born into. I can’t imagine people would tolerate this kind of thing. We’d have to be living in some kind of dystopian, authoritarian plutocracy like a bad 1970s sci-fi.
I thought characters in webcomics were more politically aware, but I guess they are just 2 dimensional.
Yeah, I feel like it kinda fell flat.
Hungary didn’t crack down on education? Our scores are still competitiv-ishly high in Europe! Our teachers are unfortunately paid in animal crackers though, like most important jobs! The teacher, doctor, bus driver scarcity is just more apparent than some others
In our system Viktor Orban have bought the media with stolen public funds! And the opposition parties and much of our economy…
I think it’s talking about https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/03/dark-day-freedom-george-soros-affiliated-central-european-university-quits-hungary. (Random link from WIkipedia on Central European University.)
Premium or off-brand animal crackers?
We only really have one brand, its our own! Its the 3rd of our largest export! According to us the Serbs only stopped trying to reunite parts of Yugoslavia because we stopped exporting our animal crackers to them, so their country fell to ruins!
Haha! This was a most unexpected response. 😂
Now excuse me while I scour the interwebs for images of the majestic animal crackers. I think I have an idea of how we might change the course of world events with them.
Turn it up Listen to the shit they pump into your head Filling you with apathy Hold your breath Wait until you know the time is right on time The end is near
I remember when I discovered the CD would change from white decal to black with 1’s and 0’s all over it from the heat of being played
dude that was peak CD art with an amazing album that has a vivid theme and the biggest fuck you idiots we are all doomed no matter what
Did you see the hand?
In the spectrograph?
My mind was blown when it did that the first time for me, it was so cool
More relevant than ever.
Unrelated, but just the other day I was thinking about an extremely offensive NIN t-shirt I had in the 90’s. I wish I still had that shirt.
Voting for what makes you mad, living for what makes you sad.
Are these song lyrics? If not, they should be.
You guys always manage to make the worst out of a morally questionable concept. Did it already with slavery.
I like that format, too.
Question: Slavery?
Answer: No.
Ah, no, i thought more about that there were different types of slavery (african, british, etc.) that somewhat worked with society but US took of every type the worst parts and made it an inter-generational instead of a limited-time thing.
I can’t wait for Trump to rename the months after his family members.
I vote for “Ivanktober” because that’s the creepiest of their familial relationships I can think of off hand. It’ll really augment the spooky vibe of the season.
USians are so racist you have to explain bad things using the words “Russian” and “Iranian” next to them. Like, you have Fox news already for half a century don’t you? What do you mean “Russian style disinformation”? You guys invented it before the Russian Federation existed lmao
These people have presidents swear on the bible and talk about theocracies smh
That’s nationalism and jingoism, not racism.
Jeez.
Well, probably all of the above with the Iranian thing.
Fox News was founded in 1996 which we all know was only about 10 years ago.
Almost 30 years, damn
I’m not at all ready for it, but I’ve been acutely aware it was coming since the night of Nov. 6th.
Year Zero you say?
If the GOP is riding in under the banner of the Christian god, then Hail Satan indeed!
I hope these fuckers are happy now. They got what they wanted. Or just ignored the problem and now that it’s not going away they’ve finally realized that maybe they should have voted differently. Or at all.
I hope y’all bastards suffer.

This is what I ordered. Not how you famed it but the exact thing I wanted I am getting here. So… not too worried.
You people wouldn’t find political education if it hit you in the face.
Oh, that can be arranged, just in case.
