[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Don't move, be nice, don't say anything bad to the driver of the people murder crusher about to drive onto us
Otherwise, he might start doing dangerous things such as driving his people murder crusher vehicle into a group of people

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
You're always exaggerating
People murder crushers don't exist
And if they did, they wouldn't be used on our own citizens

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Don't fight back
It might escalate the situation

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
There are systems in place to prevent people from getting crushed by the people murder crusher
Trust, nothing bad can happen to us

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
It's just a vehicle
Why are you acting like it's specifically designed to crush and murder people?

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
I refuse to respond to this people murder crusher with fear or defiance
We should greet it with kindness

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Technically, this people murder crusher has not crushed or murdered anyone yet
Let us not assume intent

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Honestly, the real violence here is the one you're directing at the driver of the people murder crusher
You are not a good person

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
You're focusing too much on the people murder crusher driving at us right now
It prevents you from seeing the bigger picture

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
The people murder crusher currently driving towards us is a distraction from our ideological battle, stop talking so much about it
There is no war but class war

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Has anyone considered how stressful it must be to have to drive a people murder crusher and then have people judging you for it?
We will probably suffer horribly and die, but I feel worse for them right now, poor thing

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
The people murder crusher can only run us over if we create the conditions for it
So just don't create the conditions

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
You're stuck at the level of use-value (your continued uncrushed existence)
The situation is clearly unfolding at the level of exchange
Read theory you idiots, open a book once in your life

[A murder truck is driving towards a crowd of concerned people, except one who is pointing at the truck, talking]
Don't you all see this is a metaphor?
It's not a driver, it's capital in motion
You're misrecognizing a social relation as a guy behind a wheel

Now it's just Daniel the Human Crusher, off work and hanging with people who both know that he's a Human Crusher, and are 100% fine with that.

In my neck of the woods "thank god for this people crusher, I love it when my government crushes people and I will continue to vote for whichever candidate promises to crush the most people" is a depressingly common sentiment 😞

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 2 points 1 month ago

“Honestly, the real violence here is the one you’re directing at the driver of the people murder crusher. You are a troll” “I refuse to respond to this people murder crusher with fear or defiance. We should greet it with kindness”

Is there some orange dude in the UK threatening to crush people? Or is this scene supposed to be set in Australia? (or any other place where they drive on the left, unlike the United States)?

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
