    I think the establishment is actually quite sensitive to unemployment figures because people that are unemployed have time to demonstrate.

      Sounds like a nice time for prison populations to increase and get back that labor for cheap.

      Almost felt like they were gonna pull that one with the No Kings protests

      I’m new here in the fediverse… why she is hated here? I’m out of the loop on something?

        Her comics are utterly devoid of humour, her art style is bland, and she states the blindingly obvious.

        Just an incredibly mediocre artist that people are weirdly supportive of.

        She made a comic on reddit about “if women talked to men the way men talk to women”

        A bunch of people commented that they had personally heard women say one or more of those things

        Everyone who made those comments was banned and muted

        People made posts on other subreddits explaining what happened and were banned and muted from /r/comics even without having posted or commented in it

        She and the mods of /r/comics doubled down on future posts

        There are a number of Reddit refugees on Lemmy.

          Then she threatened a subreddit with legal action for making fun of and parodying her comics. All around a toxic person

            Why dont you ignore my “performative bitching” and keep your performative bitching to yourself. I was answering the question to why she gets hate.

              And people are allowed to think inflated performance of that dislike is cringe, i suggest the two if you make up fot boring the rest of us with a duel.

              A duel fought by robots controlled by core functions of their operating systems-both arch based, controlled only in terminal.

              Left turns are eazy, you just need to reset sound and get audio playing-will you use alsa or pulse?

              Right turns are a little harder.

    Great example of why we shouldn’t just blindly absorb memes. I’m not arguing on the side of the cartoon businessman here, but if the memesmith is talking about the US they’re just plain wrong - unemployment is NOT “sky high” or even regular high. It’s a little above the 50-year low we had a couple years ago, but it’s below historical average. But if you don’t already know that and can’t be bothered to look it up, you’re being led around by the nose. Brawndo is Brawndo, no matter who serves it up or why. Now go ahead and douchevote this like a good little trooper!

    And no, I’m not trying to make everything be about America. It’s somewhat implied by the red, white & blue and let’s face it, most posts here are already about America.

      I guess i just don’t get criticisms like this. They have been rerunning family circle for 50 years and Garfield as it turns out is better without Garfield, but this kind of banality is just too far?

      Daily comics are mostly garbage with the occasional, possibly even accidental, brilliance.
