In the age of mass surveillance, it might be good to take a page from their behaviors.
Kinda crazy we're not all hiding our faces all the time.
The pandemic sucked but I'm just glad that it's socially acceptable to wear a mask anywhere in the world now.
Where I am the pandemic changed nothing about the acceptance of masking. Even during the pandemic I had people asking me to remove my mask.
Much the same here. For the most part it’s accepted but you’ll get looks like you’re actively taking an open shit in public.
Uhh in much of shithole countries (America) you can get shot for wearing a covid mask. Or at least disrespected.
I'd be publicly shamed if I wore one everywhere.
I wear one everywhere, but I'm a woman so I'm more treated as "aww silly girl" sort of thing.
Why would you wear one now? Risk of infection is basically zero these days, or at least no one is tracking or worrying about it anymore.
It's still out there. If you were worried and plannimg to be in a crowd, i could see it.
Also, if you have a flu or something and you don't mask up, I think you're a dick =p
The only ones I've seen with masks the last few years are Asians in airports when I'm traveling, and they wore those even before covid so I'm not sure it's covid related.
it's definitely more expected among various asian cultures. My city has a pretty large contingent of Chinese, Taiwanese, HKers, etc.
I think it's an expectation that really SHOULD spread to everyone. Masking up when you're sick it an awesome idea.
It really is idiodic that they politicized a virus and now we all are less safe becuase of it.
Oh, you must not live somewhere windy or with lots of pollen. Those n95s are lifesavers on allergy days.
Oh I do, I just don't have allergies.
I mean this is what most people around me also think, basically "covids gone", which I'm sure isnt really true, but I also can't live in fear forever.
It's not a page from their book tho. The black bloc protesting tactic has been a main staple in leftist protests before most of these bootlickers were even born
The difference here is that, the people participating in black bloc part of a leftist protest are doing so to protect their fellow protestors from violence while trying to not get prosecuted by the state encouraging that same violence. Meanwhile these bootlickers with their tacticool gear and face mask are only trying to protect their identity to prevent social consequences and so that they can commit violence against minorities without any consequence. The state and police are pretty much on their side so why else would you have to protect your identity if nothing else because you're a fucking bootlicking pussy
There's a difference between disabling a flock camera and protesting.
What if everybody just dressed exactly like them at those events on both sides? That would throw a monkey wrench into everything.
It's pointless with current surveillance tech. Even juggalo face paint doesn't work anymore
Idk how true that actually is and how much is demoralizing disinformation.
My uneerstandingiis that there's a lot of identifiable info in your eye area. I've seen no convicing evidence that this tech is good against a baseball cap, sunglasses and a balaclava covering the nose and ears. As for gait analysis, that's a whole other tangled story.
Worth noting that what works for researchers IDing among 100 faces or what's promised in surveillance tech brochures is not necessarily reality.
An obstacle is still an obstacle. Every bit counts
It's not pointless you just have to be creative. IR LEDs are cheap and their light is invisible to us but enough light can flood out a camera feed. You can get/build a cheap device that detects these devices' BLE signatures and further automate from there. (E.g. : use that data to populate a map, then use the map to inform other strategies/hide yourself within a certain range.)
There's gotta be other turnkey stuff that walks the line of being offensive while not being conspicuous or doing permanent (physical) damage, I just haven't come across it yet or it is coming.
This fight is far from over
Gotta mask and put a rock in your shoe.
I'm so manly I can't wear a medical mask to save lives. But I sure am willing to wear one to be an absolute shitbag in cowardice.
Hate this genre because it comes back to us when we are criticized for being masked in protests when its nothing to do with "manliness" for either of us its op sec.
So we shouldn't call them babies when they call us babies for the same thing?
I haven't found that the high road leads anywhere I want to go.
Its not about the high road its about not normalizing both toxic masculinity and the idea that "why are you hiding your identity" when that's a value op sec strategy.
It's more highlighting that they are cowards. They refused to mask during COVID, but are perfectly fine with masking now. Truly the definition of coward.
Then that's the comparison we/she should be using, because it's far better.
I mean again hate to defend these people but those were two different reasons for masking its perfectly valid to believe some things call for masking like protecting your privacy, and to also believe other scenarios don't even if you are wrong. Unsure how its cowardice and not just them having the wrong opinions.
First of, never under any circumstances do you have to give it to fascists.
Second, during the pandemic wearing a mask in closed spaces was done to prevent the spread of COVID, to help protect the young, old and sick or to say it in more simple terms, to do something for your fellow human being. For them, this was to much to ask for. But now when they march through the streets, waving confederate flags, trying to intimidate everyone who is not as fascist and as white enough for their liking, the mask are all of a sudden no problem for them because they know that they will get into trouble and will be shunned by all normal humans when they show their faces doing this. This is what makes them cowards.
Yeah as someone who hates Proud Boys, this is obviously a bad faith attack on them which has the exact blowback you say.
People doing (or threatening to do) political violence are usually going to want to hide their identities from law enforcement and employers, and virtually everyone is afraid of getting arrested and/or fired.
"Proud Boys" sound like a gay porn title.
I knew it sounded familiar. Like that one porn scene you always seem to remember but can never quite recall. However, you are sure you fapped to it successfully.
Proud boys 9 was my favorite. Hands down Football Meatlong's magnum (no pun intended) opus.
I'll fite anyone who disagrees.
Proud boys have those specific colors, no idea why pizzacake went with antifa colors here.
She probably just doesn’t have a copy of the antifa handbook they give out during orientation. Might just need to run down to the headquarters for a new copy.
So sloppy. How did she even graduate Antifa War College?
Hey, my alma mater. I still remember how my litter box smelled
I mean,
Proud Boy:
Antifa:
If you're gonna make stuff shared with thousands you might want to get your imagery right before you do the regime's work for them.
Youre way overthinking this
I dont think so.
The only people who actually know the colors are those involved in the colors.
So, yes, you are wildly overthinking this.
If you dont know Patriot Front, Proud Boys, and Vanguard America on sight by now thats a problem. Our country is literally being taken over by them right now.
Pick me to one when you're there, please. I don't want people thinking I'm profa like Hitler.
Did a quick edit after searching their colors, better?
Yeah, now we aren't conflating anarcho-communists with fascists
Hey look at that man! He's got feminine hips!
It's a large part of why he's so angry at the world. Every night he curses his half Puerto Rican dad for getting with his PAWG mom.
awwww. poor chickens. don't equate them with pieces of shit like Proud Boys :(. Chickens are loving and caring, unlike these pieces of shit.
Bro, chickens are not loving or caring. They're vicious pieces of shit that will gladly eat their own. Go visit a chicken farm. There's a lot of good in the world but chickens and proud boys are not part of it.
giggles from a farm that has free range chickens where some of them enjoy being picked up and cuddled
I need to meet better chickens. All the ones I've known are jerks and cannibals.
All these proud boy people do is hate and fear monger maybe if they opened up to new ideas they wouldn't be that way but I don't see that happening sadly
Seeing them even in drawn form, makes me disgusted.
They aren't proud if they are wearing masks. Are even really boys either? Is it all a facade? ....
they want to be approachable to the politicians in DC, so they call themselves "boys".
they cover their face to keep the facade up that they are just "big boys".
PizzaCake is political Garfield
It's not clever, it's not funny, it's not edgy, it's not smart... it's the predictable safe, tired, thing and for some reason people eat it up
"HAHA, Mondays do suck!"
"Right, why cover your face if you're so proud?"
Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years
You heard it here, Folks.
No more making fun of conservatives hiding behind masks. Velvets tired of the comments.
Make fun of them all you want, but maybe don't go with the most obvious jokes of all time
This is the political version of, "it didn't ring up? It must be free"
Do people not like Garfield? I love Garfield.
One of the first things I could draw well consistently was the dog. It was/is a great strip to imitate to learn to draw.
Garfield is notorious for being lame to the point where there are no real jokes... Garfield comics are just Garfield saying the same thing everybody says
For instance, I googled "Garfield Comic" and the first one that showed up was Garfield walking up to a mirror, Looking in the mirror, walking away from the mirror, and the last panel had Garfield think, "when did the cat in that mirror get so old?"
There's nothing to that comic, It could have been one panel if you really wanted it to be and that "joke" is the same thing my Grandma said when we walked past a store with a reflective window
And that's all this PizzaCake comic is
Literally everybody was like, "if they're so proud why do they cover their face?" -- it's the political equivalant of, "If it didn't ring up it must be free"
This shit sucks
You realize humor isn't always the point, right? Relatability is one of the biggest reasons people read comics like Garfield. It's not funny that he hates Mondays, it's relatable. It's human to seek that kind of connection. People often enjoy reading Garfield comics because we enjoy finding validation of our desire to be lazy. That being said, they can also be hilarious; I remember rereading this one all the time as a kid, and just dying of laughter.
I'm not super familiar with this comic's artist, but I can see why you compared them to Garfield - this comic clearly isn't trying to be funny so much as it's trying to connect with the reader about our shared frustrations with the state of the world. It reminds us that, while the world is stacked against us, we still have like-minded people to turn to for support. It's nice to see that.
In other words, the average person is dumb and so they're entertained by dumb things
"You like money and sex? Me too! We should hang out"
In other words, people often enjoy simple pleasures, and simplicity is not to be confused with stupidity.
Sure. Yes. And also I do hate Mondays. I do hate shit heads who uproot our society.
Yeah, the joke is 'tame' but it's good that this is what the norm is. Someone needs to state the norm. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ did I chuxlle reading it? No. Am I glad this content is normal. Yes.
Why comment? Just ignore the post. Others seem to like it. Why hate on it?
This has to be the most accurate description of PizzaCake.
I'm convinced most guys like her because of her spicy content. Which, I mean, go PizzaCake.
I hate people defending her like she's some sort of edge lord.
She has an onlyfans or something? (no not requesting the link/name/whatever)
She has a spicy tier on her Patreon where she releases nudes and stuff.
Well, that certainly explains a few things. Seems kinda.. weird, to be mixing both things on the same platform. Usually people keep those separate.
Efficient, though. Fewer platforms to divide one's attention means less mental labor.
true, but i dont know.. feels like if your mixing your comics and your nudes on the same platform, that maybe you arent confident in your abilities and need tits to draw more attention to your art. Not a judgement, just an observation.
Hey at least we don't get banned here for calling out hackery.
smell like bitch in here.
You show up every single time someone is remotely critical of Pizzacake and defend her.
Why? What's in it for you?
Not who you replied to, but reading all the haters' comments has become part of the pizzacake experience for me. Personally, I'm not sure why so many people spend so much of their own time and energy making the same criticisms over and over, but I know I will see the comments every time one of her comics is posted.
For me personally, it just annoys me that such a profoundly bland and mediocre artist gets such a ridiculous amount of support.
And over some very bland, middle of the road takes no less.
thats more creative than anything PizzaCake has ever written
I wonder if it would be more worrying if they thought they could get away walking around without a mask.
100%
This is why people are so intimidated by ICE agents - they have the law on their side.
Well. Lots of ice still use masks.
The smarter ones know the pendulum will swing back hard.
Nothing more manly and heterosexual than belonging to a group named after a song in a Disney musical stage play
I'm proud. But not proud enough if what I'm doing to be associated with it.
Bold and controversial take from Pizzacake, as always.
Will sissy proud boy be on the patreon?
Pride comes before the fall.
This applies to lgbtqiaa+ month of June.
Because June comes before September.
Well it's either that or they're hardened criminals who know exactly how not to get caught.
The name itself is one of non manliness.
Maybe they should switch to, "Men with Pride"?
Okay fine.
“I’m antifa and I’m wearing a mask to protect my community.”
There you go bud.
Yep. Agreed. In regards to the comment you're replying to "nice to make yourself so easily blocked".
Antifa isn't claiming to be racially superior. They don't call themselves the proud boys.
Antifa means anti fascist. If you are against fascism congrats, you're a part of antifa.
Unlike the fascists in power would have you believe, it isn't a centralized group. By definition claiming to be racially superior is not a part of being antifa. It's the opposite as claims of racial superiority are fascist.
What's your point?
dude deleted the whole ass profile, tf
Wouldn't you guys dox the shit out of them if they did show their face? Would it not affect their families which probably aren't involved?
Every accusation
How would it affect their families?
Most of the time when these fucks get unmasked it's their own kith,kin, and clan who outs them since usually their proud boy persona is entirely different from their personal one which pisses people off.
To paraphrase my friends, they would be surprised if I turned up a Fascist rally while being friendly. If I turned up at a Fascist rally covered in blood and trying to stab anyone with an armband they'd be confused for non-ideological reasons.
Not even sure what proud boys are, but you guys did answer my question...
I love þe subtle touches, like how he's muffin-topping þat vest.
This is as funny as the Facebook memes conservatives use where a blue hair person says "everything I don't like is Hitler!"
Low tier content that is degrading society
Nice try ICE
tbf left wing progressives use masks as well, nobody wants to lose their job but they feel strong enough to go out and protest
Its not funny?
What I find funny is your example cluelessly agrees with the comic.
Reee blue hair (on a person who isnt hiding their choices.)
Meanwhile we have people cosplaying as surrender flags and wanna be storm troopers... hiding their faces.
Gotta come armed to the protest and hide my face otherwise the truth might hurt me.
Its okay snowflake. You're just as brave and manly as the props and compensation make you think you are.
Found the Proud Boy
“A blue hair person” 🙄
I am using the imagery of the Facebook memes.
Don't shoot the meme-nger
These comments are hilarious consider I find both the be lacking in quality
Hurr durr "found duh proud boy" go back to reddit.
The second nitwit assumed I like those guys or think the conservative memes are funny.
And the third - actually funnier than the meme. Have an updoot
Just pieces of trash. But honestly so is pizza cake, all she does is spread hatred with her comics the same as they do with their bullshit. I don't see much difference between the two of them
Centrism has to be a mental disorder. There is no other way to explain it.
Well I guess it doesn't pay the bills anyway 😁 Seriously if you go back and look at some of her original works she was funny and talented, now you look at it you think what the hell happened to this lady? I guess she found her audience preferred this kind of hatred
