I'm really confused as to why 'Russians' are generalized as the last domino here
Like, could have easily been 'Putin', but even then are we content with stopping at removing despots? Let's at least aim a bit higher, maybe 'oligarchy', or even 'capital owners' if we're being ambitious.
Yeah. I've no problem with the Russian civilians as an American. But I do have a problem with Putin as he seems intent to make himself everyone's problem just like our wannabe dictators.
Fuck Tesla. Fuck Elon. Fuck Trump. Fuck corpo pigs
Right now Canadians and Europeans are wondering “How do we stop America”. And, as an American, I’m certainly not going to obsess over splitting hairs there.
I don’t think there’s any kind of international aggression these days where it should be implied we’d “go after the civilian population”. Sadly, Israel disagrees.
Because for a disturbingly large segment of the American population, the Cold War staying cold made it not really register as over.
Capitalism. Everyday russians have nothing to do with the problem.
It should say Kremlin, imo.
I hope there will be revised version soon. I really like the style it delivers the message.
It's really just X. Focus on X imo.
You mean Twitter, right?
man. i dont think any of this would be happening if people weren't fucking lazy and just voted in November. like god damn who cares if the line is long for one night.
People don't know how to participate in a democracy, it's ridiculous.
If millions upon millions of people in your country want to vote far right, you're not going to get Bernie, you have to compromise. You pick the one that has the most likelihood of pulling your country in the direction you want, because the alternative is that you don't get anything at all. You can't be entitled, because you have to share your country with 350 million other people. Fucking compromise or get fascism.
There are numerous ideological and philosophical frameworks that attempt to explain how fascism takes rise, so why do you just blame it on laziness?
Did Hitler come to power because of German industrialization, German embarrassment from WWI, the great depression, and other global economic hardships, or did Hitler come to power simply because Germans were lazy and didn't vote?
Our turn towards fascism was inevitable, and it can be explained better than with some nebulous concept of "laziness".
At the very minimum, start asking yourself why Americans are not enthusiastic about voting.
They purged voter roll, but only for democrats.
Technically legal.
It shouldn't be Russians, but Putin
Edit: You know what, some Russians are good people. Not everyone in Russia is a bootlicker
Of course this is true but when youre in a conflict you dont have the luxury of making distictions.
This is like Americans reminding us 'not all Americans are like this'. Its like, yeah bro we know but your country is actively threatening ours, so tough.
Russians are good the same way Americans are good, as in that a huge amount of them support a piece of shit.
And probably for the same reason. Bad education, that's what I think as a Russian.
It's a nice thought, but unless toppling Tesla also somehow reverses destruction of the public education system, and also something about the complex systematic, and very much intentional, polarization of individuals through social media feeds then this won't stop Republicans or Russia in the end.
Think of it more as exercise. It takes a bit for people to get rolling. If we can take down tesla, then we learn we can do more. Revolution doesn't start at the finish line.
This exactly, and more people need to understand it. A one day boycott of Amazon doesn't do much to Amazon, especially since many people will simply defer spending to the next day. What it does do is give a simple goal for people to participate who haven't done this sort of thing before. Then you expand it to longer time periods and more targets.
The current Amazon boycott is 7 days and isn't over until the 14th, BTW.
I'm just saying we need to know the route to run the marathon, otherwise we shouldn't expect to win any prizes by the end of it.
Defeating Putin, Trump, and Elon Musk is going to have specific steps to accomplish. Educate, Organize, and Unify opposition, and this will absolutely involve playing politics which a lot of people abhor. This isn't one of those "hit problems with club until it stops moving" scenarios. At least not until we take away the enemy's bigger club.
Oh for sure. But we need to get people off the couch and moving before we can start telling them about a marathon.
Idk man melon seems pretty upset rn I’d say carry right on chaps looks like you’re going the right way o7
Right, Twitter should be in there too.
Also worth noting, Tesla’s stock price skyrocketed when it was made clear Elon would take over the government. It is now basically back to where it was before this.
I will get excited when it starts losing years worth of value.
This cartoon could be done in reverse with Russian Dolls.
I’m doing my part!
Which foreigners are we gonna decide is the reason the US isn't a democracy to hide the fact the state is owned by the ruling class next? I vote for going back to the Japanese
It's Arabs and Muslims this time. And the queer community as always. And obviously any commies that try to organize and resist.
And the Zionist Christians that run this country will absolutely love to deport the Jews to Israel.
And it'll just continue to anyone "unAmerican"
Swap Republicans and Trump
Trump basically is the republican party anymore
Yeah, I'm pretty sure those dominoes are falling the other way.
