Wrong Scarecrow

I think the artist posts these so I'll put this as gently as possible in case they're reading: Almost every single comic I've seen by this person takes a joke, often a pun, and stretches it as far as possible, and usually it's stretched so thin that it just doesn't land as a punchline.

I'm not sure if the artist is going for something that I'm missing, but whatever they're going for, it doesn't always seem to help the joke.

If you chose not to decide, you still have made a choice…

How does your vote not matter if there aren't other people to vote? Like what the hell? Everyone is an individual. The "your vote doesn't matter" argument implies you think that everyone else in your community have no free will or agency and can't be convinced one way or the other.

If everyone in those areas decided not to vote because "their vote doesn't matter" then your vote would be able to swing any election.

Theory of mind is a basic skill that everyone should learn.

This is not something a conservative would balk at.

Conservatives literally believe that everything is going fine. American capitalism is great it's just that there's a few stray branches (like the entire lgbtq community and immigrants for two examples) that we have to snip off and then we'll finally realize the true American dream.

It hits for me when I'm typing it out and I can already read the braindead response they're going to type and I don't want to spend another 2 paragraphs preempting the obvious response and I definitely don't want to wait a few hours/days to explain why they're still wrong.

But but but...

The absolute worst is them saying socialism is pessimistic because it thinks people can't do anything for themself and coddles them with a nanny state. Then turns around and says "you have to structure capitalism assuming every single person is a greedy sociopath hellbent on fucking over everyone else to make money."

It's so sad, because veganism is a good force in our culture. Look at all of the vegan meat alternatives and more and more restaurants that have to have at least vegetarian options in certain areas. That wasn't a thing 20 years ago.

Vegan diets help the environment and improve health. But many vegans get this brain rot, probably a consequence of a superiority complex where they have to police everything around them. It happens in a lot of communities.

I'm not a vegan. But the idea has me eating less and less meat every year.
