The following artists are banned from the community.
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
[an orange character is driving a bulldozer, facing a house]
I am going to bulldoze your house
[a yellow character is shocked]
[yellow asks politely, hands clasped]
Could you please not do that?
[orange, pushing the bulldozer's controls, answers]
NO!
[yellow walks away from their house, looking dismayed]
Well, I guess I tried to do everything I could
Too bad
[orange smiles smugly as they bulldoze yellow's house]

I am going to delete your post
Could you please not do that?
NO!
Well, I guess I tried to do everything I could.
Too bad :(
Fantastic
its not like its going to matter. they are bulding an interstellar highway tomorrow.
god damn, you were faster xD
but good thing I just washed me towels. :)
must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
I'm game! Let's see who rusts first!
Bit late to object now, the plans have been available in the planning office for the past nine months.
Better grab a towel
I appreciate the original arthur, excellent choice
I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.
That's the display department
With a flashlight
Ah well, the lights had probably gone
So had the stairs
But look, you found the notice, didn't you?
Yes. Yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard."
Tired strawman against nonviolent resistance which has proven effective in many many situations. There is no universally right or wrong tactic to resist. It depends completely on the circumstances.
It's not strictly against nonviolent resistance though IMO. It's against protests that don't do anything. You can nonviolently do a blockade or sabotage something, or do a strike, etc.
Yah, this person commenting is avoiding the fact that their are ways to escalate without becoming violent with other people. They're Kind of proving the comic right.
he was probably happier to bulldoze my house than i am sad to lose
the worlds total happiness increased
so whatever
Housecuck
God, this shit is stupid.
Let me explain it one more time:
Violence is part of resistance, but acceptance of violence is part of fascism. One can be violent in a mission to change the world. It is undeniably a fast but chaotic and imprecise way to make change. However, it MUST make you an outcast. If you try to create a society where violence is accepted as a method of change, you won't have a society when you are done. You will have a battledome. You don't get to be the violent extremist and the hero of the people in anything but a fascist regime. Deal with it.
We already have a society where violence is accepted as a method of change. Look at the Iran War, or any of the other wars of aggression. Are they not trying to use violence to make changes in Iran?
How could Our Cause have failed? I upvoted and downvoted everything I was supposed to!
We even signed the big petition and did an op-ed in the WaPo, guess it's time to take the L and move on, nothing else can be done.
The public education system in America doesn't cover domestic violence against/by the state and state allies. There are some region exceptions but even those often don't hit the full range of violent protest.
We're taught about the labor movement and civil rights movement primarily through the lens of peaceful or passive resistance. They're frequently presented alongside figures like Gandhi, who himself has had is image simplified and white-washed.
I didn't know what Tulsa was until someone mentioned it online in a video essay. There is so much that I know only because the internet was open and history nerds started making youtube video essays and podcasts. Even then, I only know about things like the 1934 Minneapolis strike because I was in a construction worker's union.
My kink is teaching americans about the MOVE bombing. Somehow it's more known outside the USA than inside, you'd think a country bombing its own city 40 years ago would be a bigger deal.
The one-sidedness of the history of the Black Panthers was the one that really woke me up. For a long time, I had only known them from Forest Gump. I didn't know more until much later.
The only way to stop a bulldozer is with a bigger bulldozer covered in concrete armor.
This is what the West expects of Palestinians while they are annihilated. Maintain a quiet and courteous victimhood.
