The guy on the grounds clothes or something likely are supposed to indicate who he is but for me the only thing that made it clear is the nazi (I keep on thinging there is a t in that) flag he seemed to have dropped form the initial push.

The world was a better place when Nazi's were afraid that showing their true colors would get them killed.
If only we had about 512 million ways to do that
512 million seems just specific enough... is that a reference to something, or just a random large number?
Well, it's a power of two multiplied by a power of ten.
Sure, I just wasn't sure if 2^9 has some historical significance in nazism or fascism
That was my first guess. Maybe they refer to the number of firearms privately owned in the U.S.
2^9^*10^6^
For real. Never negotiate with terrorists.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
The great news, it stops being a paradox if, instead of a moral standing, we treat it as social contact. If someone does not follow the contract, then they are no longer covered by it either.
Yup. Im a big believer in this type of thing. If someone is acting rude or such in a way that crosses my line and now you don't get personal space or a nice smile and I will yell about how you are acting. People really do not understand how much of our society is reliant on the large majority of folks playing by the rules and how a tipping point can be reached where everything goes to hell.
It's interesting to me that in the medieval period the term outlaw applied to persons who broke the law and were no longer protected by it. They were entirely outside its auspices.
I guess around the enlightenment philosophy changed, and a class of rights were considered unalienable. Society protects itself from law breakers, but even the worst offenders have some protection under law, even if the case law considers their life forfeit.
When Popper posed the paradox of tolerance one imagines he supposed a tolerant society extending tolerance as an unalienable right. I quite agree the social contact resolution to the paradox of tolerance neatly solves the paradox, but I think it introduces interesting questions about what behavior is beyond the pale, and how we as a society resolve what we find acceptable. The extremes are easy, but edge cases are introduced. I hope we assess those cases with our eyes open.
No idea where you are from, but yes, around my parts the only people running around in "tacticool" gear are right-wing extremists.
And then there's me, I just enjoy camo and guns
Oh, no problem. There are also lots of people doing LARP or paintball stuff here too. But basically none of them would wear their gear under normal circumstances in public.
Also a big difference from just wearing a camo outfit and whatever the fuck the weirdo militias wear
And what of the
young people with green hair wearing a million pouches, a bulletproof vest, gothic combat boots, and a face-concealing gas masktactical cybergoths?Which fantasy book is that from?
The wonderful world of real life fashion movements.
Techwear is beautiful. And I can't help seeing something queer in the design language.
If you didn't lead with the fact that they have green hair I might have taken this question seriously
Well excuse me for thinking coloured hair is cool.
I apologize for misunderstanding, but it definitely read as a conservative person whining about the youth being weird.
Cybergoths are to be respected
Who?
oh yeah nothing makes me cringe like open carry people
It definitely depends. I was at one of the protests on the 17th and there were several of us wearing gear and open carrying.
I have seen them on the internet but they are not around these parts so I was not sure with the basic cartoon form. I assumed initially but it was realizing the rug he was on was a dropped nazi flag that made it for sure. Im sorta glad I don't recognize it really.

Reminder to flip off cybertruck drivers when you see them.
Nah, then they just respond by flipping you back off.
Do a thumbs down, so they know you disapprove. What can they respond to that? They disapprove your disapprovement? That is just silly.
It leaves them confused.
good idea! Will do this.
Looks like a "proud boy."
"Bloody Peasant!"
That is some incredibly low hanging fruit.
This comic is somewhat of an autobiographical diary thing so much of what comes is daily life of the artist or things they feel for stuff like yesterdays.
