Christmas Future

 

Did someone ask Santa for a little existential climate despair? No? Well...here's some anyway. Happy holidays! 

Business Partners

The art of the deal.

Passing the Torch

Virginia is getting weird.

Remain Silent

Every god damn time.

Division of Labor

Thanks for the "help," guys.

WWJBD?

John Brown did nothing wrong.

The Man in the Low Castle

Fascists around the world are slowly starting to shift away from climate change denial, to the equally-delusional belief that a militarized ethnostate will save them from what's coming. Anything to avoid actually solving the problem...

Parasite

This whole situation really sucks.

Third Position

This is the default tactic of right-leaning internet pseudointellectuals who are too cowardly to take a stand on something controversial. Trust me, once you know to look for it, you'll notice it everywhere.

Mushroom Clouds

Hate to admit it, but I've been feeling pretty doomer about climate change recently. At least the retro '60s apocalypse would've gotten things over with quickly (and the last thing they saw wouldn't have been Bezos laughing down at them from orbit).

Q&A

There's a massive crowd of liberal voters standing just out of frame who need a ride to the polls. Talk to them instead!

Sleeper Hit

"Go woke, go broke" didn't take medical bills into account.

Boots on the Ground

"You guys paid for all this"

-Space Emperor Bezos

Welcome to the Machine

 

Never let conservatives get away with pretending to be the anti-corporate ones.

Multipolar World

This seems pretty straightforward but I guess some folks still need a little clarification.

The Progressive Compass

Here, I made a handy little chart to help navigate the interminable leftist Discourse about "woke idpol" vs "class reductionism" that always flares up when powerful institutions try to co-opt our aesthetics, because if there's one thing the internet needs, it's more political charts. Just remember to focus on the X-axis and don't get too distracted by the Y (no matter what Glenn Greenwald says).

Occupational Hazard

Ceasefire isn't good enough. As long as Gaza is trapped under an unjust, oppressive status quo, this will just keep happening.

Stop the Presses

 

So...Israel just bombed the international media hub in Gaza. Historically, that tends to be a bad sign.

Imm(unity)

Pandemics are a global problem that can only be solved through global cooperation. Waive the vaccine patent, share research, quit screwing around.

High Resolution

Filming cops is good, do it as much as possible. But there's a deeper problem here that no gadget can solve.

Blue Whine

With so many anti-protest bills being proposed around the country, I think it's about time conservatives updated their apparel.

Barrel Obstruction

We've seen a lot of horrible stuff throughout this pandemic, but the efforts by rich countries and pharmaceutical companies to block a patent waiver for the vaccine is just flat-out monstrous. This needs to be a bigger story.

Lincoln Projectile

Sic semper grifteris. They brought this on themselves.

Gun Control Illustrated

 

I'm glad liberals are finally realizing that law enforcement is infested with white supremacists and far-right extremist sympathizers. I just wish they didn't instantly forget this lesson as soon as the topic turns to guns.

Civics Lesson

 

Can we take a break from living through ominous historical turning points, please? Even just a few months would be nice.

Long Arms of the Law

Rashida Tlaib summed it up well: "The Trump mob’s success in breaching the Capitol was not due to a lack of resources at the disposal of federal law enforcement, and in this moment we must resist the erosion of our civil liberties and Constitutional freedoms, however well-intentioned proposed security reforms may be."

Clean Getaway

This one's been a long time coming. Trump's second term was an existential threat to democracy and it was no time to be picky about our allies, but the election's over now, and ex-Bushite neocon scum shouldn't get to walk away from their past so easily.

Choose Your Weapon

I know Democrats aren't used to having actual political firepower in their hands, so here's a handy visual guide to help them gear up.

Goody Two Shoes

 

No, Joe, I am not interested in "unity" with people who have openly announced their intentions to kill us.

Treason Sneezin'

Every single Republican who refused to wear a mask in the Capitol lockdown rooms should be, at the very least, expelled from Congress.

Camaraderie

Another one under the bus.
