    The fascists have systematically captured the system by religiously voting in every election over the past 50 years, and now that they are coming for you, you’re going to criticize people who want to vote against them?

    Fuck all the way off.

      The comic isn’t criticizing those who vote against fascism, it’s critiquing those that think voting is enough to stop fascism.

        That’s some pedantic bullshit. This comic is clearly designed to foster voter apathy by suggesting that voting is ineffective. It’s part of the great lie that fascists have been using for a long time, that voting is pointless and you have no power. It’s how they win elections.

        The vast majority of free people have no interest in violent revolution, and if even half of non-voters decided to participate, fascists would never win another election. When they lose elections, fascists attempt to use force. But they are outnumbered.

          Im sorry? It’s not clear to me at all that this is advocating voter apathy. Can you explain how that’s the case?

            No, because I do not believe you are discussing this in good faith. I’ve explained it to you already, and you’re asking vague, obtuse questions. I’m going to stand on “fuck all the way off.”

      The yellow guy is the asshole here for sure.

      Yelling and screaming that everything is terrible and voting won’t help. He may be right, but the blue guy has done or suggested three things that he can do to help.

      If yellow wants someone to take up arms and start popping politicians, he needs to be behind it enough to either start doing it himself, or at least come right out and say it.

      He’s smart enough to know there’s a problem, but still too stupid to realize that complaining about what everyone else isn’t doing is just as useless.

      you’re going to criticize people who want to vote against them?

      And how is the “vote fascism away” project going?
