The early bird gets the worm

MentalEdge

He's not talkin about the time of day, but the fact he's headed out for the purge three days in advance.

Culture. Culture endures. You can kill reddit, but you can't kill an idea.

That's fair. The visual of waking up with sun that high with the phrase was what caught me. Even in the longest days of the year I'm up before the sun 90% of the time.

That's fair. For me it was just the combination of that visual of the sun relatively high with that phrase. Even during the longest days of the year in summer I'm up before the sun 90% of the time.

Maybe that is supposed to be your reaction on the first panel, but by the fourth panel it makes sense. Maybe you didn’t get to the fourth panel before commenting?

I guess yeah, but in a sense he wasn't the early bird in any sense of the word. He woke up late in the day and showed up late to the purge. Also three days early with probably not ebough gear to camp out that long. I know I overanalyze everything but I'm also a backpacker. Maybe he has a bunch of ultralight gear and some dehydrated meals in that little pack.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for composting elon, but that alone won't change much.

Never forget - we are many, they are few, there is enough composting to go around, but more importantly, we need to already be creating the foundations for an alternative, better, society, so that when we abolish the systems that currently govern ours, we have a solid and equitable framework to fall back on and build from.

I hope he can get his spot back in the bread line.

I think you just keep explaining the joke. He’s not an early bird is the joke.

It may not change much, but damn would it ever feel good.

4am is still late bird territory. I don't accept anything before 5am as early bird.

[email protected]

Yeah. It's Monday and I worked all weekend but I'm also a little crispy. I'll get there.

That could be any Elon.

Why do we need to wait for the purge?

Age of Empires is older than Reddit.

I suppose beating him to death with a trash bag full of 9v batteries on live TV might set the right example.

Sure, but that wouldn't take a whole line of individuals, that wold take a well organised group of a dozen or two, while more groups of a dozen or two go give the other billionaires a visit with their own trash bag, and others go and give some politicians a visit, and some bigger groups take control of the means of production, all while the largest chunk of working class people build the medical and educational and communal support that they need to pull all of that off and come back to once they're done.

I know beating elon up sounds like masses of fun, but it isn't your revolution, it's ours. If you're genuinely that enthusiastic about being the one to pull the trigger, there will be plenty of opportunity.

Well, crispy bacon is the best bacon. Just sayin.

Can’t miss an opportunity to form a nice orderly queue, of course.

It’ll put some healthy fear into the ones remaining, and nobody said it had to stop there. it’s just a nice place to get started.
