[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.
[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…
You must log in or # to comment.
See for example the German communist party telling people to vote for the NSDAP to accelerate the collapse, just to get killed.
What about robots it is now or never
Some of those accelerationists are just hating the US, see Badempanda as an example.
The idea is highly contingent on enough people agreeing. Like any system will disappear in a second if 100% of the people agree that it should. The problem with fascist states is they tend to be dictatorships and use a lot of force which is really efficient in controlling people, which is also why every military is structured that way. You need only like 10% of the population and enough force vs this concept where you need nearly everyone.
And because we have millions of people there’s no way to get enough people to agree to do anything meaningful.
We are doomed and will go extinct.
Perhaps a wiser species will marvel at the thin smear of radioactive material and toxic petrochemicals and mass extinction that marks our passing.
What if the propaganda is looking at human behavior and realizing we’re too stupid to live
I think you’re bordering extremely close to eco fascism and need to do some self reflection on what you actually value. Are you a fascist?
Ecofascism, sometimes spelled eco-fascism,[1] is a term used to describe individuals and groups which combine environmentalism with fascism.[2]
Ecofascism is “environmentalism through genocide”
I don’t advocate for genocide to save the planet. The planet will do that quite nicely on its own. Plus I think humans will screw it up like everything else.
While you’re wining like a little bitch some of us are fighting. Some of us have people who care about that we don’t want to suffer.
Get back to us when you’re ready to do more that piss and moan about how we are all fucked. Until then get the fuck out of the way.
Blah blah blah blah
And it’s spelled “whining”
We won’t go extinct, but we will make things way harder for us than they reasonably need to be, which is a shame.
The sun will run out of fuel and grow to be a red giant and vaporize the earth before dying one day. The last star will go dark one day. The last black hole will evaporate one day. Nothing is forever, enjoy the ride while you’re around.
Yep, nobody in the world’s history has ever fought and won for better conditions. Never happened. We should all just keep voting for Democrats, that’s working.
I can’t tell right now if it’s too little too late, but some Democratic candidates are catching on, refusing to take corporate donations, AIPAC, etc.
After Hoover, it was impossible to get Republicans into the presidency until after the war (and then it was Eisenhower). Democrats got us the New Deal, the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act.
From Nixon forward, the only reason that Republicans have been able to get into power is due to hatred of blacks, opposition to abortion-access and a fuckton of voter suppression, gerrymandering, the electoral college and when those fail, election tampering. When elections are free and fair, we do in fact get Democrats, and while some of them are almost as corrupt as Republicans, they still sometimes push forward progress.
This time, I must admit, the MAGA movement has us in a wringer, especially since SCOTUS is loaded with antebellum extremists who are controlled by the ownership class. Since in the current system, they have the capacity to veto anyone else, the US may be screwed.
But then again, Trump, the Project 2025 coalition and SCOTUS are moving at breakneck speed bringing the nation to ruin, and making circumstances unlivable for huge portions of the population. Unlike the ten years of Nacht und Nebel that slowly wearied the German people as the German Reich seized power, the proverbial frog is being dropped right into boiling water.
Hence the visibility protests have been bigger than any ever seen in the US. Labor unions are forming, growing, and coordinating towards an effort of recurring general strikes. So I don’t know how this ends.
Especially since, you know, that might happen at any time, either naturally or unnaturally, and dear leader has arranged time and again the humiliation of his would be successors. When it does happen, the whole MAGA movement goes down as well, and the Republican party will be a worse trainwreck than it was before Trump went down his escalator.
Nobody’s saying not to fight. They’re saying don’t encourage things to get worse first.
These comics suck and I’ve blocked the original artist. They skip over the main challenges and oversimplify the problems at hand. I agree with their spirit and goal but they offer nothing in the way of constructive opinions. Downvoted.
Good point. Can you recommend some comics that offer constructive opinions instead?
