  • This is the real solution.

    Dr. King even stated as much.

    If everyone said “enough, we’ve endured enough” and stopped letting the grinder do its thing, change would occur.

    I can guarantee that it would be met with violence too, it has been met with violence. The only thing worse than union labor, is no labor.

    Mario Savio, another activist in the 60s, revealed to have been illegally spied on by the FBI in 1999 ended one of his speeches with this: “There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part! You can’t even passively take part! And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels … upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop! And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!”




  • Look here Europe. I don’t know how well y’all understand the states, but it’s unfathomably large. People in the big cities can definitely organize and revolt. But, against who?

    The power is concentrated in Washington DC. It’s in an extremely inconvenient location to get to, and I’m starting to understand why.

    The last person who was able to amass a large enough following to organize people and march all the damn way to Washington DC was assassinated by the FBI - more specifically J. Edgar Hoover, one of the OG Incel MAGATs. The last president that was able to advocate for the same rights was assassinated by the same group.

    Malcom X could see that the only way the US government would change was through speaking the language it knew, but he, too, was taken out by the FBI.

    The billionaires in power speak the same language. They wear children as meat shields. They spark violent rhetoric. They won’t hesitate to take out a figurehead before he becomes too powerful like King, JFK, and Malcom X.

    I mean I’m a single straight dude and I’m pretty much certain guys are trash.

    So while not all feminists might think that, I could give them plenty of examples of all guys being trash

    Edit: a bit too many of you took this way too seriously, it’s a fucking comic strip.

    Yes not all guys are trash, but the number of times I have to call my friends out on something like “women expecting too much of us because they get paid less.” Like no, women expecting equality is not expecting too much.
