Great great granddad was just a slab of rust

There is a point at which we have not struggled enough to understand and empathise with our elders, sure, but almost 100% of the time, its the reverse that's happened;

They have not seen enough of our struggles and lack the capactity to understand or empathize with them as struggles at all. Their struggles, and later comfort, let's be honest, have numbed them and fitted blinders to their judgement.

I think this is because FOX hadn't fully got its hooks into setting boomers against their kids for being "soft" and "ruining America" yet.

Once those hooks are in, suddenly the latter panel applies.

They don't see the contradiction because they think their eyes have been opened to the truth.

Yes, this is absolutely the outcome of propaganda. Blame it on the young, blame it on the foreigners. Blame it on the women, blame it on the queer. It's all anybody's fault except for the white rich assholes in charge.

Edit: I am told this is a quote often used by fascists to exemplify strength and other beliefs I don't align with, so I'll remove it.

I hadn't really thought of it along those lines. Apologies to the community.

That's a common refrain from fascists and it's not actually historically accurate. Not a great thing to parrot imo

The quote is from 2015, though the concept is not new. As well as being entertained, I am here to learn, so I would ask if you could expound on your statement? His description seems to describe a fascist as a "weak man". I'm just not familiar with what you are referencing.

Edit: With further reading I do see what you're saying. I have just never looked at it through that lens. Thanks for letting me know!

I don't know what's being apologized for and now I'm sad I missed it :P

Hard times create hard dragon dick. Hard dragon dick creates good times. Good times create easy dragon dick. Easy dragon dick creates hard times.

[-] RaccoonBall@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

Wouldn't easy dragon dick also be a good time?

I'm thinking with dragon dick all times are good.

Perhaps I'm oversimplifying

Easy dragon dick leads to dragons skipping foreplay, which is fun, but leaves many feeling unfulfilled.

I love how in the bonus panel each generation up gets progressively more stress sweat and wrinkles
