  • For most of them, it’s because they truly, deeply believe that if they don’t convert you, you’re going to burn in hell for eternity when you die.

    For most of the leaders of those sorts of churches, it’s because more people means more money for that new private jet they’re saving up for.

  • Unfortunately .world is in a country with strict laws against that sort of thing, so they are at very real risk of getting shut down if they change their rules against calling for violence.

  • Does it make sense to nitpick how much they’re getting though? The fact that they’re being denied any bonus is shady as fuck.

  • Well, let’s be real; pull off the ‘why no one want kids’ mask and you get the actual things they’re saying: ‘why no one want to make white babies because Great Replacement Theory’ and ‘why no one want to be bound to poor working conditions and wage slavery’.

  • Nothing sinister at all. It has a long and proven track record. Which you can check out if you don’t want to be low-info anymore. Doctors and dentists support it.

    But there’s a subset of people who want us to go back to disease-ridden serfs, because when your teeth are falling out and 3 out of your 5 kids died young from disease and you can barely make rent, you’re too distracted to care what other people are doing.

  • There’s only pros. It’s proven to prevent cavities in children and adults, much better than brushing alone.

    There’s also the sad fact that not every kid is taught to—or sometimes allowed to—brush their teeth.

  • Opioid pills discovered in US-backed food aid, Gaza authorities say

  • Goodness no, I hate the Russian and Chinese government. They can all go take a long walk off a short pier.

    And the fact that we can address these things, and occasionally change them (unlike China and Russia), is I suppose a bit encouraging.

    But that’s small encouragement next to the mass slavery, targeted attacks, and disenfranchisement throughout our history, and so much of it by regular everyday citizens cheerfully doing terrible things to other regular everyday citizens, no (or very little) government involvement required.

    And it’s still going today. The majority of people in this country refused to vote, or voted for a felon who ran on a program of destroying the constitution, over a PoC woman. Because they liked Trump’s message more, or, even more damning, figured that since they probably wouldn’t be impacted, it didn’t matter.

  • What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim.

    To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.

    There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.

    -Frederick Douglas

    We’ve never really been great, unless you were White and Male. But we have been good at selling the grift.

  • Unemployment

  • Or, and hear me out, she might just be pointing out how the behavior in the first two panels eventually unquestionably leads to the second and third.

    Also, while unemployment maybe ‘low’ (and given how those numbers are often drawn from who’s pulling unemployment benefits, and at least in America they kick you off those after a little bit, I also wonder about those statistics, but I digress…) many people who are employed are severely underemployed, which is just as bad in the long run.
