Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

Comic strip: Makes fun of American neo-nazis.
Nuanced opinion: Some of my friends look kind of like that guy. Are you calling me a nazi? Okay then, let's go, time for a civil war.
I've said it before and I will say it again.
The comic was not focused on making fun of American neo-Nazis, rather, it portrays a profoundly twisted caricature of MAGA voters that makes them all out to be neo-Nazis. You'd be closer to the truth if you left the neo- part, but I doubt you'd truly realize why.
As to the allusion to the US Civil War or World War II, where division was as irrecoverably rampant, you'd have to be a moron not to see that that is the inevitable conclusion when all you want to see is the worst of the other side. Trump may be a problem, but supposing Harris wins, you will still have Trumpers left over. It got this bad when things were much better, and while they don't mind burning bridges, clearly the flip side of the coin that you are does not mind burning bridges either. Biggest difference between you and me, I can easily follow this to its inevitable conclusion, but if Harris is being such a great candidate it's because she's not burning bridges like you guys are.
I doubt you know nuance. Knowing nuance involves not running off into wild caricatures, gross exaggerations, and outright lies like you have. While I was accused of trolling, your comment is a prime example of it.
