Well, get over it. Incremental change is over forever, your way failed. It's time to do things our way now, because liberal democracy is dead.

It's the only reason.

If it was a liability concern, why are they intentionally poisoning the food? That would make them much more liable for someone becoming sickened.

The context is that people recognize the meme. That's basically it. The joke is itself.

But also I don't really care if some artist is annoyed that his early, bad artwork became the butt of a joke. He was in his 20s when he started that comic, let's not pretend like this is bullying a child's comics or something.

This is what they tell the public.

In reality they just don't want homeless people near their dumpsters.

Well, by now it's just a self referential meme like all memes. The joke is itself, the context doesn't even matter anymore.

It's still not a joke about miscarriage.

You might have missed the joke?

The joke isn't that miscarriage is funny. That's edgelord material.

The joke is that B^Uckley is a hack writer and hack artist and his comics aren't funny and look like shit. It's making fun of him.

Doesn't matter anymore, elections are over.

My side failed to get Democrats to stop supporting genocide, your side failed to get Democrats elected. We both lost. I blame you for assuring Democrats that they didn't need to stop supporting genocide to win, you blame me for not being a loyal voter, but it doesn't really matter anymore because we both lost and elections are over. Probably forever.

It's time to get over it and do something else.

If you would stop eating shit for even one election cycle the Uncommitted Movement would have been able to force the Democrats to break with Israel. Democrats love Israel, and genocide, but if they knew for sure that they could never win any elections by supporting Israel they'd stop doing it.

Presuming they actually want to win, of course.

But because voters keep eating shit the Democrats were assured they could ignore the Uncommitted Movement and still beat Trump. And then they lost. And now elections are probably over forever and we'll have to do something else now, so this argument is pointless.

I didn't say it would work, I'm just saying that this is their plan. Make people too afraid to protest.

That's clearly their plan for the anti-genocide protests, after all.

It's not about a loss of control, it's about maintaining control to prevent a loss of control. They don't want another BLM summer.

Then why didn't they do it before? Or sooner?

There's a reason they delayed doing this.

It's obviously not the kids fault and we are punishing the wrong people. The parents are just doing something their parents probably did.

But parents shouldn't give 10 year olds responsibility over 7 year olds, and I'm very firm in that belief. Even if it was on their own property. Kids get messed up by being forced to be responsible for other kids, and the other kids get messed up by having kids be responsible for them. It's a toxic dynamic that's baked into our society.

Kids shouldn't raise kids, not even for a small walk to and from the corner store.

Well, yeah, the US did coup Australia's government that one time.

What I mean is, why are you commenting on voting? You know basically nothing about it. For instance, did you know Trump only won 49.9% of the vote this time? And the Republicans are calling it a mandate!

It's never Democrats fault that they lose, it's only the voters fault for not being loyal enough.

Democrats can never fail, they can only be failed.

A 10 year old is not old enough to be responsible for a 7 year old, so no, they weren't old enough to walk home together. The 10 year old walking by themselves would have been safe, adding a 7 year old made the situation unsafe.

The dirty secret of the capitalist nuclear family is kids are always raising kids while the parents are busy at work or doing housework or struggling to recover from work. It's not really the parents' fault.

They need to do this to maintain authority and control. I don't mean they need to do this for public safety or anything.

Why are you even here?

Kids shouldn't be raising kids.

Fuck cars, but 10 year old children shouldn't have to be responsible for other children. They shouldn't have any responsibilities yet.

A few protests can be handled by cops, what they're scared of is a repeat of the BLM uprisings. They're trying to get ahead of the problem before it spreads to every city.

Remember! They wouldn't do this if they didn't think they had to - this government action comes from a place of weakness, not strength.
