between how ppl still try to """"fix"""" Haus's comics, and how people talk abt Cash's Nancy run I think y'all just have a fucking problem with queer women making comics
You're not organizing based on any shared values that matter to our current situation. You share basically no values with the individuals depicted except some basic progressive notions.
Is there a guerrilla army in the Appalachians or something I’m missing? You gonna go get the people they just hit with 30, 50 and 100 years out? No, you ain’t gonna do shit but run your mouth. You know what revolutionaries like Stalin and Lenin did? They organized. Their writings were summations of practice. Do you? No. You’re not more revolutionary than anybody else. Where’s your practice? Talk is not practice. Come off this armchair revolutionary bullshit and live in the real world. You’re not a Communist. You cannot be a Communist if you are not in an organization. You’re a fan.
All of the future episodes of The Simpsons show Bart as a loser and Lisa as successful when in reality, Lisa would be working a job she hates to pay off the hundred thousand dollars worth of student debt she got for a worthless degree, but would still talk down to Bart even though he's making more than her as a garbage man or something.
the public defenders in the prairieland case failed to defend or meaningfully support the defendants. they called no witnesses (despite having access to them) and they filed no motions. they must be disbarred for client neglect. this would assist the appeals process.
@servirlepeuple I think "burn your idols" juxtaposed with your statement on revolutionary suicide simply ignores the realities of male chauvinism and the mechanisms used to enforce it by focusing instead on the individual
Viewing women as property was a pretty popular sentiment in the 60s and even if those allegations were public he probably wouldn't have faced backlash. That's usually what putting your faith in the masses gets you.
it's such a shame we can be open about rape culture and other various forms of sexism but it's just used as a yard stick to beat ppl who are long dead rather than focusing on the fact that the indiscriminate "masses" are just as responsible for this problem
i used to revere huey newton, reading revolutionary suicide was an eye opening experience for me but everything changed when i read on the rape allegations on ericka higgins
nowadays i just believe we should collectively burn our idols and put our faith in the masses
@probablykaffe You say this but what if we added a third person. Say, a retail employee. I would say the other two belong to a completely different class than them. There is no reproductive capacity in the service industry and it has a monopoly on employment in many places.
Besides the forced hopeless romantic arc what else really bothers me is the adaptation of a Sunday comic into something that needs *multiple* parts.
It's the kind of impulse that would turn FarSides into a four panel comic. We don't need more dialogue we need more funny
Show me the trust fund kids willing to donate to left causes.
Even if this was the case being beholden to rich ppl for funding just means you're beholden to whatever class ideology they're bringing in.
What happens if we wanted to eliminate inheritance i
The idea that the way to be a good Marxist is to throw away your class privilege and go do hard labor is part of why there are so many trust fund kids larping as poor. Real ones use their privilege to aid class struggle rather than doing this weird Christian guilt shit
@DoigSwift DnD is a tabletop roleplaying game. What you are describing is a writing exercise that uses the fantasy elements of DnD as a setting and storytelling device.
Dice in DND is asking the universe for an impartial decision to inject spontaneity into a scenario neither player nor DM can predict.
The mental cost of a bad role after great RP feels like a punishment, and the table now has to react to a number rather than the narrative.
