these comments are something....

Dang. This is cold hearted. I live close to work I suppose.

yea, like 90% of the criticisms I as an american hear towards this war is that we "aren't doing it right." and that "when we bombed Iraq we did it right." just that we aren't massacring people correctly, no problem with the massacring itself. of course, these same people absolutely would not accept that all this bloodshed is literally just to keep up with the hyper inflated fuel economy of the light truck tanks that litter our shitty fucking roads. which is an impossible task on it's own btw even if the US got oil out of this the trucks will simply get bigger, and their fuel economy will simply get worse unless fundamental change happens.

The comic hurts because it’s uncomfortably accurate.

I feel like I could ask any random guy on the street how many American soldiers have died so far, and they'd tell me 7, but if I asked them how many little girls died when they bombed that school, they'd be like "fake news, we'd never bomb a school."

And this is the best case scenario. It's either this or they literally think they're meaningless collateral in the West's noble mission to save the world.

I'm thankful I live in a country where I have the same issues only

But also like fuck off America, you bitch about petrol prices when you make the majority of your own fuel, your fuel is still comparitively cheap and affected by supply interruptions compared to the rest of the world.
Your not hurting as much as you make out to be on the news, and maybe if you didnt drive cars that use 10L/Km you wouldnt even notice the price change.

Feel the same way about people wringing their hands over dead US soldiers, as though they're the only people who matter.

A Thai shipping frigate just got hit in the Straight of Hormuz, and I have seen absolutely nobody on national news raise the question of whether any of the crew were injured or killed. Similarly, Israel and the UAE have been incredibly close-mouthed about civilian deaths from Iranian attacks into civilian areas, because they consider it a public embarrassment. Nobody seems to want to talk about the "collateral damage".

And then there's the death toll in Iran itself. I was getting ear-blasted with "Iranian Government Murders 10,000! 20,000! 30,000! people!" for weeks. Suddenly, Iranian deaths don't matter, unless they're high ranking politicians or military figures.

This reeks of the same coverage we got out of Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, and Ethiopia. National news is entirely contained within jingoistic nationalist terms. We're covering (and increasingly gambling) on the outcome like its a basketball game.

Vile.

Credit the artist!

It's yeehawtheboys

The news is reporting on the dead children? That's news to me.

Rick doesn't buy gas. Hell. Even Morty doesn't.

I hope my fellow countrymen suffer immensely. I want us to be dragged into downright suicide inducing economic despair.

Actually true.

It's missing a 'Live, Laugh, Love' poster in the background.

Yep disgusting when this is a common take away to hundreds of dead kids.
