    Leftists are the only one trying to fix the boat. The liberal will say we must compromise with the shooter, and try to vote him out of the boat in four years.

      We need to stop using ambiguous terms like “leftist”. It’s way too broad and doesn’t help anyone. I identify as liberal (also too broad), and I likely believe in 90% of the policies you advocate for.

        Liberals are reactionaries who wish to return to a previous status quo. Leftists wish to dismantle the existing systems, and establish a socialist system. Two goals in absolute opposition to each other.

      “Fixing the boat” implies they are successfully doing anything other than complain. Leftists are sitting in the boat yelling at the Liberal for not fixing the boat.

          So you’re saying they’re yelling at the liberal to fix the boat and then the guy with the gun throws them off the boat? Doesn’t sound like you’re disagreeing with me.

            What I am saying is while you cowards remain complicit, there are brave individuals risking their lives to take action, doing anything necessary, even at the cost of their professional and social lives, to stand up for what is right.

            They must confront both you hypocritical weaklings and the psychopaths.

            What did the Democrats do to protect the American population from a rapist insurrectionist corrupted by russia when they were in power?

            It seems that empathy is a lesson some of you still need to learn. Unfortunately, this lesson comes at the expense of millions of lives. Bombing children to achieve genocidal goals is unacceptable. Cope harder hypocrite

              I’m not the hypocrite here…neither of us are doing anything that would protect the American population from a rapist insurrectionist corrupted by Russia, I’m just admitting it while you’re pretending your impotent wails are doing anything so you can look down on everyone else.

                You’re right, I’m currently focusing on my own country due to being born there you know? But I can still recognize and admire how brave these people are to stand up and fight against the useless and magass, not being complicit with fascism is actually remarkable.

                Also, there are effective treatments for impotence now. If it isn’t curable, you can still seek psychological support instead of lashing out your frustration randomly.

        Psh, as a leftist I’ll have you know we’ve done a lot more than complain. We went to a few protests, wrote a couple emails, and boycott stores we hardly shopped at in the first place.

        I can’t speak to your town, but the leftist orgs in my area are organizing a number of efforts to help feed & house people, along with any number of events to improve the area for the people living in it. They’re also working on the political side to push for ranked-choice voting, challenging voter suppression efforts, etc.

        Just because you’re not paying attention doesn’t mean they aren’t putting in the work.

    We live in an era where media with certain themes always seem to get an absurd amount of negativity, with plenty of dumbasses to blindly follow it without ever thinking to stopping and thinking about where a lot of it is coming from.

      It’s also just not good art. The style is extremely bland, and the humour just… Isn’t humorous.

        Some people love the “Every panel is the punchline” kind of material. It’s very CTRL+ALT+DEL coded. Maybe give them another few years and we’ll get a new Loss out of it.

        I said it elsewhere, but they all feel like they’ve been AI generated, but made by a real person. They’re wildly uninteresting to look at and painfully unfunny.

        Weird to say that when the artist has made the art the key point in the drama. The ‘art’ kind of is the drama. Especially the debate on if roughly drawn comics that don’t have punch lines even are art. The way I feel about them is as if they’re AI slop, but done by a person. Most of them don’t even make sense, but get so much attention.

    It is sad that so many in this country do not understand that millions of citizens absolutely, deliberately, and with a full understanding want to sink that boat. Those same people never ask why, they dismiss their concerns with “they are just too stupid to understand.”

      People aren’t sharing them because they find them funny, they do it to share their political views.

      Without realising they’re preaching to the choir.

        I don’t think a comic has to be funny per se. That’s why I also pointed out it has no substance. But yes preaching to the choir is a good way to describe what’s going on here as well.

      Comics don’t have to be funny, they can be used to show a message/point of view. A great example I can think of is “Maus”.

      And if you don’t like/get the message, that’s fine. To each their own.

        Pizzacake definitely isn’t funny, nor are their political comics very sharp. Seems more like pandering their fanbase
