      If anything that’s an argument against immigration, considering what happened to the people that lived there before

        Too bad the US is not what the natives made it to be 🤷… they didn’t like what the immigrants did, but money is a very powerful thing.

        And before the decade-long process of today, even the legal immigrants had it way easier.

    Immigrants. I always knew it was them. Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them

      Settle down, chairman moe! But, just to nitpick, what he says sounds a lot more like “immigants” to me. Which when I originally saw the scene, was the icing on the cake.

      Exactly. normally when we think “immigrants” we think of the peniless illegal people who crawl under the fence or swim around it. No. The real enemy immigrants are the wealthies.

      Especially the ones buying up all our real estate so houses sit empty and cost too much for anyone to live in them.

            Sorry I’ll try to illustrate this better.

            Liberal ----> Communist

            As in, anything to the left of conservative which is the majority user base of the lemmy community. Yes I’m aware liberals are capitalists still, don’t try to play these stupid games you know what I meant.

              I’m not trying to play any stupid games, I’m asking you a question.

              No need to get rude about it.

                You’re asking a question meant to illustrate that I don’t know what I’m talking about because you didn’t understand my original comment or you are trying to discredit me because you believe I’m conservative. I’m not, I just think the meme itself is derivative and doesn’t understand the POV of conservatives. They aren’t convinced gay people have all the money, they just hate LGBT people in general because they’re bigots and believe the economy is shit for different reasons entirely.

                Strawman arguments seem to be a commonality everywhere, it’s not really useful outside of circle jerking that you’re smart and no one else is.

      Political comics are hard to critique because people see it as an attack on the message and not the abysmal quality.

      I think the content is good. The art feels a little rough, not sure if it is a style or not. If the original author is new at this stuff, this is pretty good. Everyone has to start somewhere.

      The funniest part is how the artist felt the need to write “the left” and “the right” on the characters as if this highly intellectual commentary is too subtle to understand without help. We’ve reached below the point of crappy editorial cartoons.

    Louis Armstrong with his brother Lance Armstrong back in 89 both went to the moon. All so you could have smaller computers and political posts like this :/

      so many things wrong here:

      1. lois armstrong played the trombone
      2. lance armstrong’s real name is buzz aldrin
      3. it was '69, not '98
      4. the moon landing was in no way politicized
      5. i am not using a computer, but a phone

    Too bad there is no working class left. The college educated left liked belittling blue collar workers too much.

      1. There’s no blue collar worker’s because it doesn’t pay enough.

      2. Educated people can and should work in blue collar fields, but unfortunately our society bases everything on money, so leaving blue collar work for higher paying jobs is literally the dear and fluffy capitalism you love so much. Anyone with an education is going to seek the highest paying job possible and none of those are blue collar.

      3. “working class” doesn’t mean field hands and electricians, it means everyone that isn’t a multi millionaire. I work in IT and am still working class, you work blue collar and are working class, the salesman that works for a bank is working class. Unless you’re the owner of a business entity and do not have to work to pay your bills, then you’re “working class.”

      4. The conservative ideology has ground the middle class into non-existence through the deregulation of the market and the abysmal failure of trickle down economics. Compounded by the uselessness of the Democratic party (cause they’re all just old money career politicians too, what a surprise) not doing a damn thing when they’re in control of the legislative branch. Not because educated people made fun of yokels too much. You’re drawing conclusions out of your feelings, not reality.

      “See we should all just come together and agree to believe what I believe. You should just accept that sometimes you’re wrong, even though I haven’t presented any evidence. If we agreed, we wouldn’t be fighting; therefore the charitable thing for you to do is to cause us to agree by changing your opinion to match mine”

        I think once ppl unite we’ll find out we need no old guy in a suit telling us what’s the right thing to do for 4 years long and begin working on a parlament were truly wise individuals have their voice and a wide variety of professors are finnally listened. But we are too many to fit in a proportionally representative parlament and the only solution I see is dissolution of all big states into county governments and form only temporary intercity alliances.
