The angry one just vibrates in the original post. I have seen this artist use animations in one panel like this one, mind you it's a reddit link.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeesh, I don't miss reddit at all. Those comments could all be bots and it wouldn't make a difference. Everyone just posts whatever joke they thought was funny 2+ years ago.

Took her 12 seconds to process that response.

That oddly fitting comment below.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If those people knew anything about Communism and Islam they'd realize how utterly stupid that combo is...

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

…what? All three Abrahamic religions are extremely explicit and clear about providing food and shelter to the poor and needy. What counterexample did you have in mind?

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (5 children)

since when was "providing food and shelter to the poor and needy" considered to be exclusively communist?

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Around the time that those in power claiming to be of the faith started calling it communism.

There is no equality in those religions. Man and woman wasnt equal and slavery existed in those times..

What they preach is not the same as what they do. None of them. It's a psychological thing.

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (4 children)

These people just interchange socialism and communism like they're the same thing.

See, that's the thing.

People just don't seem to realize how important my opinion is. I did, like, research and stuff!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It already has more gay and trans people than any other city in the US by numbers. Now they just need some socialism!

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I was gonna say, so it'll be about the same, but socialist? Right on!

Socialism is a buzzword that has been used in the US to attack anything remotely progressive that's happened in the last century.

When Social Security and the New Deal programs were introduced, they were called socialism

When the voting age was lowered to 18, it was called socialism

When the FMLA was passed, it was called socialism.

It's literally just a word that Republicans who don't want to support our communities use instead of just flat out admitting that they're anti human

Let's not pretend it's just republicans.

Look im not gay but if comes with healthcare im willing to try.

[–] kubica@fedia.io 23 points 1 week ago

Talking seriously, from a "centrist" point of view, worrying about that a "gay trans sociallist hellscape" makes no sense seeing how easy is for the right to get to power no matter how crazy it seems.

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Why is a comic strip 12 seconds long?

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a gif where in the last panel the angry bigot shakes a lot.

I think these people turn red usually in less than 12 seconds.

It's funny how they're trying to paint him as a communist revolutionary or something, and in the process, just making him look even cooler.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nice work, y'all. You pissed off the cons

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Now, let's get them and Nick Cage in a plane!

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If we don't attempt democratic socialism then capitalism will bring absolute poverty to the economy (we're already so close, but people aren't eating leather yet), which will lead to revolt, rebellion, and lots of death. Then a most likely scenario will be Communism, where things will likely look good at first, then quickly fall backwards. Then more revolt, then fractured states. We're about 50 years away from being the Northern States of America, with all kinds of squabbles, different laws, sketchy trade deals, etc. All this will likely end in the worst scenario: Texas is claimed by Mexico and Texans will all be refugees fleeing to other states.

Credit where it's due though: Karen's got a pretty sweet flip 'do going on.

Visited Manhattan around '91 or so, gayest place I've ever seen. And I'm from Tulsa, which believe it or not, has a rockin' gay scene!
