Thats my friend! He’s really like that all the time and is genuinely compassionate and wholesome in every aspect of his life.

He volunteers on a local community radio show each week called The Pedestrian Show where he advocates for better biking infrastructure in the city. He’s like actually involved in city council meetings and breaks down the proposed development plans on the radio in simple terms so people can understand what’s happening in the city without reading 50 pages of legalese.

Also, he’s really good at ping pong haha.

I find the many pantheons of the pathfinder universe to be pretty diverse and well thought out personally. Much more dynamic and interesting than the forgotten realms pantheon.

The other suggestions here are the main ones I’d mention - Venture Bros, Bobs Burgers, Futurama.

Squidbillies I think deserves a spot on the list.

There are several other great Adult Swim shows I’d like to mention here, but they mostly didn’t run more than a few seasons. Superjail, China IL, Metalocalypse, Space Dandy.

I’d also recommend The Great North. Its newer and at first feels pretty similar to Bob’s Burgers, but the characters feel more fleshed out to me and the family dynamic I think makes for more interesting TV. It’s only like five seasons so far I think.

Maybe I’m too autistic, but I think we’re all interpreting the meme differently here haha. Maybe that just means it’s not a good meme.

I don’t think it’s at all appropriate to say that “sending weapons to anyone is a joke in comparison to past actions” when those weapons are actively being used for genocide. We should not be excusing any level of active harm out of numbness from past atrocities.

We can look at the whole picture and denounce the US war machine as colonialist and imperialist, but the wording you used there, the way you’re trivializing a very real aspect of the war machine, is dangerously close to genocide apologia.

From reading about PieFed’s moderation tools linked elsewhere in this thread, seems like the solution to that is already built in more explicitly for them.

I’ll start by saying that I don’t totally disagree with your points. I think a simple blanket statement like “don’t vote” is wholely harmful, and only serves to perpetuate apathy and further oppression.

That said, the message here is plainly more than calling for people to abstain from voting. Its a call for militant direct action, which electoralism serves to pacify.

I don’t think I can express it more eloquently than the author, and I don’t think that a particular excerpt can do justice to the point, but this part seems salient.

This doesn’t mean simply abstinence or ignoring the problem until it just goes away, it means developing and implementing strategies and maneuvers that empower Indigenous People’s autonomy.

One person devoting their time, energy, and organizational capacity to liberation can do more to help their community than any number of people voting for a lesser evil chosen by the oppressors.

The point is not to dissuade leftists from voting, it’s to persuade them to take action. In the case of Indigenous Action that isn’t a vague call to action either. There’s active resistance in need of material support on Turtle Island currently.

like this?

Kamela Harris told pro-palestinian protesters at her own rally “I’m speaking” to silence them. This is a fact and not a strawman argument. If you want your comments to not be removed from this community for supporting genocidal entities, you’ll need to explain where the strawman is in the OP meme.

Please, point out the strawman here. I responded already that “I’m speaking” were Kamela’s exact words in response to recent pro-palestine protesters.

Notice yours and the other comments critical of me still up? I’m not banning anyone or even removing comments for being critical of me or this post.

I’m removing comments supportive of the US so-called justice system or being uncivil and rude in a way not condusive to nuanced political discussion.

I’ve temp-banned three accounts for calling me a Russian bot. That action my be too harsh for a first offence, and I’m open to discussion about that. However, that type of rhetoric has absolutely no place here.

Discussion about the moderation of this community is absolutely allowed, and as long as it doesn’t degrade to throwing insults, it will all remain up.

I’ll admit it’s an outdated meme. Doesn’t make her above criticism though.

Acceptable to you is an oppessor to others.

I don’t find the timing weird at all with all the bootlicking I’ve seen from the wider fediverse lately.

Sure hope this thread doesn’t devolve into hating on people who live in rural areas or the US south generally.

Once again Ada cuts through the bullshit elegantly and unapologetically. This is 100% the home for me

Fuck all imperialist and hierarchical power structures. Fuck colonialism and fuck the police. Fuck fascists and the libs that enable them.

The crosshatched fill colors on this made my phone screen do weird stuff when I zoomed.
