[holding a rose] Now hear me out... Sure, we did let them bring back slavery

[looking smug] But we negotiated that you can have longer and more comfortable chains this time around

[dropped the rose, still looking smug] We truly are defenders of the people

Still don't understand why these comics get ao many downvotes, this one us clearly about qhen "Radical Cemtrists" and free market liberals who claim to be leftwing compromise with faacists and right wing nutters.

Neoliberals don't like when you pierce their veils

Here's a few reasons:

  • Not funny

  • Not nuanced

  • Bad art

  • Comes off as smug/condescending (author)

  • Makes fun of/disparages broad groups of people

  • Assigns positions that people don't agree with to labels they identify with.

Etc. Etc.

Nothing more moderate than calling the moderates on the other side extremists.

Your moderates gave us more Privatized Prisons than ever before. They looked at Reagan's legacy and decided that the problem was there wasn't enough profit being generated at the expense of the inmates, nor were there enough inmates.

Can I say nothing is more American than immediately assuming people on the internet are Americans by default?

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I even put a flag in my display name and people still assume I'm american.

So your comment was even less apt, and I'm the dummy. That sure is some up-side-down logic. Call me when y'all have the highest incarceration-rate in the world.
