  • facism. This is the same stuff the actual nazia did.

    But don’t actually call them Nazis, you’ll have very normal people responding to you that they can’t be Nazis because they’re not actively running gas chambers or invading Poland or some nonsense.

    I weep for the historical literacy of this country. So many will argue about what to call these shitheads while they slowly work their way through the ‘undesirables’ until they get to people they care about. It’s like that old poem:

    “At first they came for the Latinos and gays, but I didn’t say anything because we have to tone police monikers until we’re at the hight of the barbarity.”

    Or something, idk.


  • I’ll concede the first 2 points, but I’ll argue the 3rd.

    Calling modern politicians Nazis is intellectually lazy and counterproductive to achieving anything.

    Ok, what moniker would you use for fascists that want to deport/kill minorities and put them into camps? Authoritarians who pander to the common people and tell them about all the socialist policies they plan to enact during the election, then immediately give up the lie and say they are just going to do authoritarian things and start rounding up minorities and persecuting sexual minorities? Fascist works, but it doesn’t really fully encompass what they’re about.

    If only there was a shorthand moniker for authoritarians who run on nationalism and socialism together… Like, some kind of National Socialism. Though, these ones are also “Christians”, so they can be the National Christians. We could abbreviate it Nat-C too.

    Wow, not only is that true, but he also had a giant robot that he used to fight monsters that was eventually used in Super Sentai!

    I didn’t see the bit about the robot in your comic initially, but it’s really cool that this one predates the OG power rangers










  • One could easily argue that the prohibition of drugs has been an object failure as well, there’s just been $$$$ in keeping it illegal (along with racist reasons). Thankfully some states are seeing the $$$ of regulation, but the party of small overreaching government doesn’t like that and fights it tooth and nail in a lot of places. Wonder why?
