Nationalism is a archaic ideology that has outlived its usefulness in the modern era of globalised capitalist plundering and climate catastrophe.

Ah. Okay. It took me a moment to get this person’s perspective on this. They’re a non-US citizen who’s asserting that this person’s ‘wokism’ (i.e. nont being a prick) is hypocritical because they didn’t voice their concerns over the exile of Russian devs from the Linux Kernel. Isn’t that kind of a mix of a straw man (not clear what this ‘woke’ person’s views are on that; troll makes assertions on what the ‘woke’ person didn’t say) and an ad hominem (this ‘woke’ didn’t argue against anti-Russian sentiment, therefore their arguments for equality are invalid).

I feel like I’ve wasted my time considering what this clown had to say.

Yeah he’s also cast aspersions on the Polio vaccine. When that vaccine was first announced on the news, people on NY were out in the streets celebrating. Work basically stopped for the day. Practically everyone knew someone who had died of Polio.

It was one of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the modern era. But RFK thinks he knows better.

I love how the cat has fallen asleep in the last panel.

I like to think it was a wordplay.

or that it’s unfixable

Just out of interest. What are some of these unfixable issues?

The thing about Batman that you need to remember is that he’s been around since the 1930s. Many facets of the character have been explored, including this one. Bruce Wayne has, on multiple occasions, argued for and created social programs for the poor. That is something he has done in many comics.

That said, he hasn’t argued for higher taxation on the rich. There’s a few reasons for this, the chief among them being the unquestioned omnipresent capitalist dogma that informs a lot of media. Though I’d add that the idea of wealth redistribution is kind of incompatible with the idea of Batman. He’s a deeply psychologically motivated character. His war on crime is largely personal. As his vigilantism is enabled by his wealth, it makes sense that he would favour philanthropy. He wants to be the agent of change in ‘his’ city. Broadly speaking, that might make him ineffective but I don’t think it makes him bad. I think it’s part of what makes him an interesting character.

Absolutely. So much of the libertarian argument for capitalist competition fall apart when faced with the reality of monopolies and oligopolies that control the markets. It’s honestly such a farcical ideology.

There was a 19th century political party that rose in opposition to the arrival of Irish Catholic immigrants. They had the audacity to call themselves the Native American Party. Also, known as the Know Nothings. They’re the gang that Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day Lewis) leads in Gangs of New York.

Please don’t insult pigs by comparing them to that cunt.

Someone earned a tidy 540 bucks stumbling onto this one. Not bad.

I quit drinking for a while there and when I did I picked up this peculiar habit of drinking tons of soda water. Still do it to this day. Love my tiny bubbles.

I think its good for the same reason that I think extensive media focus on school shooting is bad.

Guys is there a way to use complex filtering on the Boost app. Maybe a regex? I wanna be able to filter all headlines that include the phrase Google CEO unless it also contains the phrase ‘head explodes’.

Thanks for the context. Soooo… What’s with he dick jokes? I mean I’m fan of dix as much as the next dick lover but setting up an emails service that’s ball-to-ball dicks is a bit much.

Wow, feeb is a great insult. Holding on to that one.

Is the implication here that if you don’t state it then you owe back tax on illegal gains when they catch you?

Eh, I read a lot of superhero comics and I appreciate critiques of them but this doesn’t really do it for me. If anything, its only funny on a ‘so dumb its funny’ level.

I didn’t know this. Thanks for the info!
