I just can't grasp how you could say shit like this and not immediately realize you are a bad person.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

They believe they are the good guys.

Apparently it used to be much more fashionable to punch people in the mouth. Buzz Aldrin, ~~american hero~~, comes to mind.

[–] lennybird 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Buzz Aldrin, douchebag, endorsed Trump.

Michael Collins was way cooler.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

Well that is disappointing. Goddamn it Buzz.

In my heart I know that these children are in desperate need of love but my brain says they all need a good smack in the mouth.

I feel I'm going to be saying this a lot... Women, repeat after me: "MAGA cut off. No pussy for 4-years."

Nothing else, not even a pithy one-liner, nothing for them to grab onto or ague about, simply a hard NO. Can y'all please make this a real movement?

Wasn't there a pair of warring African tribes where the women got together and told the men they were cut off until they made peace? May be misremembering a bit, but it worked, instantly.

EDIT: Looks to be more than one such story in Africa alone.

I think you miss the implication of, "Your body, my choice."

It's not about abortion. It's about rape. They are threatening rape. Telling a rapist that you are withholding sex means nothing to them.

[–] asteriskeverything 10 points 1 week ago

Just stop having sex with the men threatening to rape you!

*I missed the implication too, no shade to the OP

There was an ancient Greek play by Aristophanes.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata

Edit: someone needs to put this on without modernizing it. This sounds hilarious.

A Spartan herald then appears with a large burden (an erection) scarcely hidden inside his tunic and he requests to see the ruling council to arrange peace talks. The magistrate, now also sporting a prodigious burden, laughs at the herald's embarrassing situation but agrees that peace talks should begin.

I read it in college. Went in thinking I would hate it. I was very wrong.

There is the 4B movement. I don't know much about it, but I think it started in South Korea. Basically, women are swearing off men for...I don't know how long.

[–] Mercuri 3 points 1 week ago

Breed them out of existence.

[–] butwhyishischinabook 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is correct but it's delusional to think saying this to them would work. They need to be deeply afraid to express their opinions. They're dug in and if this year taught us anything it's that they aren't convincible. The only realistic path forward is to make them fearful. Ridicule isn't enough. They need to be afraid if they voice their opinions. Afraid for their reputations, afraid for their careers, and afraid for their very lives. If they aren't afraid at that level then we'll only sink farther. Them not getting laid isn't nearly enough. They should live terrified that people will find out who they really are, and they must be afraid at the highest level.

EDIT: Reading this back I realize how this sounds, I'm NOT saying that anyone should take that kind of action, but when Sherman matched to the sea, that kind of fear was the goal and it briefly worked. Likewise after the civil rights movement. It's nothing more than the tolerance paradox.

Yeah, right-wing cretins have no shame in the sense of being able to be embarrassed by logical conclusions or contradictions. This comic is really only meant (or at least shared by me) as a kind of commiseration between non-fascists.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

So accurate!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Arm yourself women. Be ready to kill to protect yourselves!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

I'm already armed and thanks to only coming out about 6 years ago I was taught how to shoot as part of a "father-son bonding activity" So thanks dad, you may be a transphobic ass but you still taught me how to shoot, and I'm grateful for that, even though you regret it.

[–] ZoopZeZoop 7 points 1 week ago

We're going to need an underground railroad for women in this situation. Otherwise, they are going to start executing women who have killed in the name of self-defense.

This slogan sounds so much like a parody on Rightist ideology that despite all evidence I'm still struggling to believe it's an actual Rightist slogan

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Since 2020, they've gone mask off.

[–] AeonFelis 3 points 1 week ago

So that whole anti-masking thing was also metaphoric?

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0 16 points 1 week ago

So sad the younger generation had to be exposed to this type of rhetoric. When I first read the slogan that's exactly what I thought.. There are a complete lack of social skills Make them parrot some losers slogan.

[–] InverseParallax 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This needs to be a national thing.

"Make conservatives incels again!" but for real this time.

[–] Clent 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not all conservative are incels but all incels are conservative.

There are enough right wing women to keep this true.

Nah, they dont give a shit about logic, they only know "own the libs!".

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Imagine voting for an orange man because you can't get laid and can't keep a wife. Being a republican man means being unable to find a wife, have sex, have kids, have a relationship, and being unfathomably gullible.

The funny part is Trump is going to import the very people that make white republican men uncomfortable. Interracial relationships are about to explode and white incels are going to lose their minds.

Vance isn't getting you an Indian wife and Trump isn't making anime real.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just call them weird. That'll work, right?

Right?

[–] tootoughtoremember 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The Harris campaign dropped that after the first month, even though it seemed to be the only thing that got under Trump and Vance's skin.

They got Geoff Garin, former Clinton campaign co-chief strategist, who told them to drop "We're not going back" - not forward looking enough (they didn't) and drop "weird" - too negative (they did).

[–] asteriskeverything 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow that makes so much sense and now I know who to be mad at. Kamala had so much steam until shortly after announcing Walz and then I just felt like they really fell into the background. And trump is never truly in jist the background, he makes the media too much money

[–] tootoughtoremember 8 points 1 week ago

I think there's plenty of people to be mad at, more than enough blame to go around.

Biden could have chosen to be the transitionary president he "signaled" that he'd be by stepping out of the race 6-12 months earlier, and allowing for a full primary season for democrats to rally around a candidate and a platform.

The Harris campaign could have rejected the failed 2016 strategy of courting moderate republican at the expense of blue collar democrats, rather than champion the Cheney family endorsement, in spite internal protests.

I'm not willing to scapegoat just one person for this loss, this was the whole damn team. The DNC needs to realize that people vote when they're excited to vote. That whether they're door knocking or just talking to their friends, the base is going to get those low propensity voters out if they're bragging about some great thing democrats will do. And it's a lot easier when that thing is healthcare or amnesty (Obama), rather than small business tax cuts and a republican bill on the border.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

The 4B movement is going to rise until the problem gets resolved.

And I am all for it. You go queens!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I imagine her grabbing him by the balls in the 4th panel.

Maybe giving it a little twist for good measure.

[–] GladiusB 4 points 1 week ago

And then he calls the cops because he is a pussy

And yet y'all can't say "cock?"

[–] SquirtleHermit 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

Oh, that astrix is obscuring a much fouler word, but you are a bit too young to learn it yet. We will tell you when you're older.

edit: tough crowd

If only that meme were true.

If that boy could understand 3-syllable words he'd be very upset
