I heard he likes fishsticks.

No. Like, I appreciate the joke being made, but it just doesn’t work.

The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It doesn’t matter when exactly it “started”. The question should be how we get out of it. Or, more fundamentally, what actually is the problem, fundamentally? Is it a bunch of racists and bigots abusing a corrupt system to inch the US (well, we do have it in Europe too, just not so extreme yet) ever closer to fascism, or is it the underlying system of escalating exploitation and conflict that enables them?

Class collaborationists and reformists.

That’s because the concept of biological races has been thouroughly debunked. I will never understand why Anglophones still insist on using the word “race”.

View the keys, wallet, and cell phone as the necks connecting the bodies to the heads above.

So… in Finland “democracy” and “violence” are the same thing? xD

1. It’s a big difference whether you live in an unjust system and individual terrorism is the only recourse you feel you have left, or whether you are the leader of a massive bureaucratic state that has other options.
2. There are numerous reasons to be mad at Stalin, and offing capitalists is not one of the top ones.

• Betraying everything Lenin and Marx stood for by bolstering the bureaucracy instead of abolishing it (admittedly partly also the fault of the German social democrats).
• Abandoning the idea of world revolution in favor of his brain dead socialism in one (technologically and culturally backward) state that didn’t have the material conditions for socialism in any way, shape, or form.
• Collaborating with the Nazis at the beginning of WW2.
• Smothering nascent revolutions like the Chinese one, sending many of them on a one-way track back to capitalism, and constructing undemocratic bureaucracies like itself.
• Killing soviet democracy.
• Rolling back on the social accomplishments of the October Revolution (e.g. abortion).

This is by no means an exhaustive list.

You’re right. I lost. The Game.

The “city” on the side of the car implies that it’s a vehicle of city cleaning. It could be some other city service, but then it would be oddly specific. Does the city cleaning service just run over piles of leaves where the artist comes from, instead of shoving them aside? The latter would still be painful but arguably not lethal.

That aside, where do you find leaf piles just out on the road? Don’t they tend to be the result of, you know, being shoved off the street by city cleaning?

That aside aside, if anything, that cartoon is an argument for banning cars instead of telling kids not to play in leaves.

Okay, rant over. (I accidentally typed “rent over” at first. If only.)
