Your New Order Has Arrived
-
Take - and make - your opportunities to change minds. Don't be afraid, but be careful. Don't be polite for the sake of politeness, but be kind, be considerate, even be gentle when you think it will help, but don't be polite.
Not to put too fine a point on it: No.
The horses have been led to the water many times. They are welcome to drink whenever they choose. The time for talking is over.

Then you're not actually advocating for change. If you have no interest in changing minds then you have no interest in any meaningful difference in the future. Besides, the consent has been manufactured and the horses have been lead to a poisoned pool.
The apathetic dismissal of people as helpless - the belief that they are, individually and as a whole, incapable of change or redemption or worse, unworthy of it - is a small but meaningful part of the machine that has altered reality in front of our very eyes.
We appear to be in one of many pivotal moments in history, where economics and politics and technology all tip the dominoes that are human lives toward an entirely new and irreversible state.
Hard times tend to meet demagogues and easy answers, but they also tend to force people to come together and face hard truths. I'm not saying you personally can save or change them all - perhaps not even save any. But there are plenty of good, ignorant people that will have opportunities to learn some terrible lessons very soon.

We only really have one brand, its our own! Its the 3rd of our largest export! According to us the Serbs only stopped trying to reunite parts of Yugoslavia because we stopped exporting our animal crackers to them, so their country fell to ruins!

Yeah, and 70 million people voted for a fascist.

More relevant than ever.
Unrelated, but just the other day I was thinking about an extremely offensive NIN t-shirt I had in the 90's. I wish I still had that shirt.

You guys always manage to make the worst of a morally questionable concept. Did it already with slavery.

So replace the term βboth partiesβ with βthe only partyβ by categorically discarding all faith and worship in all political parties that have done absolutely nothing for anyone of the working class.
Then make a new party thatβs even better.

Not just a woman, a black woman.

Did you ever canvass for any alternative candidate or do you expect them to just rise out of the ether?

I'm out of this mess through the system. They didn't do shit to stop me getting on a plane and flying across the ocean last Monday to a more civilized part of the world. It has its own problems, but at least people don't get into things like massive healthcare debt.

If you told me most online progressives were part of a psyop to make people more conservative I'd believe you.

Voting for what makes you mad, living for what makes you sad.

I thought characters in webcomics were more politically aware, but I guess they are just 2 dimensional.

Haha! This was a most unexpected response.
Now excuse me while I scour the interwebs for images of the majestic animal crackers. I think I have an idea of how we might change the course of world events with them.
