freedom after speech

Reply in thread

In Canada its not freedom of speech but rather freedom of expression when the expression doesn't infringe on others' freedom from hate which I'm so much happier with. Why the fuck Americans celebrate their freedom to be a nazi or whatever makes absolutely zero sense to me

I think maybe it'd help if the guy didn't live 40 miles away from work. I'm not at all getting enough relaxation time but still, living a <10min bike ride from my office means I can sneak in some quick gaming on my lunch breaks if I wanted

Also I have no idea whether this comic is progressive or conservative...

Yes, thank you I did notice that.

The comment I was trying to make is that it feels like the comic is trying to make a point of something but I can't tell if it's pro- or anti-. As in, the depiction of the vidyagam obsessed guy is derogatory and the depiction of the chad-looking guy makes it seem like wanting time for relaxation is a self-failing and that you should aspire to be like the trad family man. All of the things the comic brings up though like the wage-slaving manager, excessive commute, etc are things that are real societal problems and the comic doesn't make fun of those complaints like you'd expect based on the depictions of the characters.

But I didn't want to write all of that out because it's a comic.

Fair point yeah. I'm admittedly lucky with my office being so close but if I actually wanted to own my own property (I'm renting right now) I'd have to move way out to a neighbouring town which would put me at a similar commuting distance
