    stupid comic for liberal types - please understand that you standing up as an autistic black feminist with one leg and a penchant for grapefruits does not result in significant change for society. yes, you exist, the world is full of wealthy evil, lets do something about that instead of talking about ourselves.

        A call to arms for everyone to unite against the oligarchy.

          Ignoring key issues of discrimination of marginalised peoples makes you a rightie, yeah.

          Doubly so when you spout AllLivesMatter trash like “we’re all indigenous to Earth” to ignore colonialism.

            Ignoring key issues of discrimination of marginalised peoples

            This is like saying that someone wanting to end all poverty is ignoring and discriminating against the single poorest person.

            Stop acting like these things are zero-sum. It takes no extra effort to speak out against all instances of an injustice, compared to doing so only for certain instances of that injustice.

              This may be shocking to learn, but different peoples have different issues. A one size fits all approach is not the solution.

                You’re equivocating, for no reason, being equally sympathetic to an injustice regardless of the demographics of the victim in any given instance, with treating every case as if it’s identical.

                Those are completely unrelated things.

                P.S. You ‘may be shocked to learn’ that starting a comment like that just makes you sound like a sanctimonious jerk.

                  If you ignore that different demographics face different issues and that they are valid in bringing them up, and argue against that, you’re right wing trash as far as I’m concerned. Knowing that makes someone like that think I’m a sanctimonious jerk is only a compliment.

                    Which is irrelevant, because that’s not what I did.

                    you’re right wing trash as far as I’m concerned.

                    Since you’ve demonstrated a deliberate penchant for deliberately misconstruing anything short of full-throated agreement, your labeling based on that has no value whatsoever. “Right wing trash” and “person who disagrees with me” are not synonymous.

                    The fact remains, despite your protest: the attention any given injustice a person has suffered merits, should not depend on any of the victim’s immutable characteristics. It is immoral to believe, for example, that George Floyd and Tony Timpa[1] merit different amounts of sympathy/outrage/etc., just because one is black and the other is white.


                    1. Anthony “Tony” Allen Timpa, a 32-year-old, unarmed white man, was killed in Dallas, Texas by police officer Dustin Dillard. Officers had responded to a call by Timpa requesting aid for a mental breakdown due to the fact that he had not taken his prescription medication for schizophrenia and depression. Dillard pushed his body weight onto Timpa on the ground for around 14 minutes after he was already restrained, and officers ignored pleas from Timpa that he was in pain and was afraid he was going to die. Timpa’s death was ruled a homicide…

            Seems you lack the comprehension that deciding not to over-expose a symptom but rather treat the disease is not the same as ignoring. Unity is better than division (a very right-wing concept, right?).

            Seems like you also lack humour.

              If you want unity stop ignoring peoples issues. Discrimination doesn’t come from any one factor.

              And fuck off with “humour” another typical right wing take - “its just a joke bro”.

                You’re doing nothing but baiting and trolling this whole post. Why don’t you take your anger out in a healthy way and go for a jog or something. A worthy block if I ever saw one. Get helpful or get out.
