Unemployed Person: "No one will hire me because of my tattoos and my drug use."
Conservatives: "That's your own fault. They can hire whoever they want. It's your duty to make yourself employable."
Unemployed Person: "No one will hire me because I didn't get the covid vaccine."
Conservatives: "THAT'S THE EPITOME OF INJUSTICE! YOUR PLACE OF WORK HAS NO RIGHT TO DICTATE WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY!"
Side note/correction-
We aren't Weimar Germany, nor Germany under the Nazis. Neither of those situation included a government so blatantly corrupt. Neither had the lawlessness, the utter comtempt for the courts and rule of law that is exhibited by tRump and the Republicunts.
We are the world's first long established democratic and free society that is devolving into a pre-broken autocratic absurdity of a nation. We have centuries of precedent being discarded for a venal and incompetent travesty that is supported by people who will not only not benefit, they will suffer just like all the ones they hate. We are "1984" and "Brazil" fused into one.
"Land of the Free". Provided you're white, obedient, and accept every lie the ruling powers spew out. Free until the definition of "wrong" and "illegal" expands to encompass you too.
And it's all there. Openly displayed. Hitler had the "Night of the Long Knives" to purge the SA when he no longer needed them as his secret allies who did the brutal, dirty work out on the streets for him. In the U.S nothing is hidden. ICE gladly violates laws for the administration with no attempt at dissemination, no need to dissemble. All these magatt "patriots" cheering on the destruction of the Constitution that is the foundation of the United States' freedom.
Somewhere in Hell Hitler and Himmler and Goebbels are saying "Hang on. Didn't these people fight against us and sacrifice over 400k lives to defeat fascism? Wasn't it these people?"
Drew a what if (also tried making full pages instead of singular panels but idk if I'll do it again, it's not very fun)

And now for a reminder that Bibi and Hamas were often buddy buddy
In stead of blaming Jews and Palestians, we should blame the leaders who clearly don't care for their people.
In addition to this, we should remember that most "zionists", especially the ones pushing for tgis war, aren't even Jewish!
When Everything Everywhere All at Once said âThe only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we donât know whatâs going on"Â
When the Good Place said âWhy choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife⌠I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.âÂ
When Jean-Paul Sartre said ââHell is other peopleâ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also âHeaven is each otherâ. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.â
My girlfriend and I talk a lot about our different generations of queerness, because she was doing queer activism in the 1990s and I wasnât.
And sheâs supportive of my writing about queerness but also kind of bitter about how quickly her entire generationâs history has disappeared into a bland âAIDS was bad, gay marriage solved homophobiaâ narrative, and now weâre having to play catch-up to educate young LGBTQ+ people about queer history and queer theory. It gets pretty raw sometimes.
I mean, a large part of the reason TERFs have been good at educating the young and queer people havenât is, in the 80s and 90s the leading lights of TERFdom got tenured university positions, and the leading lights of queerdom died of AIDS.
âExcuse us,â she said bitterly the other day, not at me but to me, âfor not laying the groundwork for children we never thought weâd have in a future none of us thought weâd be alive for.â
Happy incoming fall of the Umreekan Empire!
