Poof, Pennywise is suddenly a billionaire profiting off the suffering of others! OoOoOo scaaaaarryy!

tbf, a billionaire right in front of you isnt that scary even if thats what you're afraid of, its the abstracted effects of their power and actions. A billionaire right in front of you in the flesh is something you can physically harm with your own two fists alone, a widespread system is not.

How about a billionaire in some sort of bulletproof pope mobile surrounded by an army of security who all happen to be people who didn't qualify to become cops?

Funny thing about "bulletproof" glass is not all bullets are created equal

How many types of bullets do you carry around

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Just the ones heavy enough to supersede the bulletproof qualification.

Yea honestly that’s a fucking gift right there.

“I’m Donald Trump now”

“…wait except I won’t get in any trouble for caving your face in? Oh HELL yea!”

Well in this comic it seems like he clearly gets bummed and has empathy unlike a billionaire

I thought you were talking about my username for a second before looking at the context and was concerned x3

That's what you say, but if Elon Musk was in front of me, I'd be terrified that he'd do one of his many failed attempts at being funny.

They hurt. They really hurt.

Maybe if the kids stayed in the town and "IT" was in the town factory destroying the town water, air, and making indentured servitude.
