    Non american leftists tend to have a more reserved take on guns.

    It’s hard to advocate for armed resistance against tyranny XIXth century style after 150 years of military industrial complex development have made the state’s power so asymmetrically strong. Guns nowadays kill kids in schools, but won’t do much against tanks, jets, drones, etc.

    Paradoxically, it’s liberals that like guns in my country (hunting has become a bourgeois activity).

    When you walk into a room and women put their hands over their drinks, know that it is because you’re unable to address men’s issues without minimizing women’s issues.

    It’s not that the points you’re making are fundamentally wrong, but we can see the hate when you speak your heart.

    Act like an incel, get treated like one.

    This is you:

    Yo loser (and the losers who upvoted), male privilege doesn’t mean all men have easy lives (they don’t), it means they don’t face systemic disadvantages simply due to being men, while women have to face those disadvantages simply due to being women.

    Conscription doesn’t magically erase pay gaps, rates of violence, hiring and promotion discrimination, political under representation, domestic labor imbalance, femicides, etc. Sure, some men might be conscripted for a year, and it sucks, but women deal with this shit every single day of their lives.

    Now on to the “women voted for it” argument… ignoring the fact that all women can only vote in Switzerland since 1990 so it might not be the best country for your example, pray tell who created and maintains the draft on an institutional level? That shit was built, ran, maintained for generations by men in male-dominated governments, militaries, cultures. But because women voted in one recent referendum it’s their fault? Historical amnesia or incel redditor type comment, choose one (it’s the latter, we know what you are).

    Your point hangs on to a Wikipedia list of some men oppressing some other men in 20-30 countries (it’s men running conscription: the patriarchy affects men too dingbat), while sexism is daily in every single country in the world. And let’s be clear, rich men aren’t the only beneficiaries of male privilege, it’s also simple things like not being dismissed as emotional, not being talked over, not being judged for your body count, not fearing sexual assault on your walk back home, you don’t need to be rich to benefit from those.

    Back to conflicts and wars. Take a guess who the #1 victims of the long term effects of war are, here’s an academic source. To give a recent example, 70% of the dead in Gaza are women and children. And as for the ones who survive… you can probably guess what happens to women during war times and post-war reconstruction efforts, dying on the frontlines might actually be a better fate. You can see it in Ukraine already, women are losing their rights and ability to work, and it’ll only get worse as the war keeps going (and orders of magnitudes worse if they lose the war).

    first functioning rocket weapon

    Chinese warfare had included rockets for centuries.

    Americans and soviets had militarized rockets before WW2 (for ex. Katyusha on Wikipedia).

    first manmade object in space

    Define being in space.

    The V2 barely grazed the edge of space, it didn’t have the power to actually escape the Earth’s gravitational péll.

    Sputnik is the first object to actually be in space.

    The Nazis …

    You should be wary that nazi glazing has effects. Thanks to their lasting propaganda, people really believe they were a high tech empire that surpassed the rest of the world in every domain, triumph of the will style. Still to this day it helps fascism’s image as the “clean high tech” way that surpasses the rest in the mind of too many people. Don’t contribute to that for a simple gotcha. Even if you’re right, it’s not worth it.

    I disagree.

    Modern rocketry was invented by Tsiolkovsky (theory) + Goddard (liquid fuel) + Obert (engineering), only one of which was a nazi.

    During WW2, nazis used slave labor to develop and industrialize rocketry, but they didn’t achieve anything. At most, they accelerated its development. Their rockets had training wheels, metaphorically speaking.

    Post WW2, the nazi rocket program became the backbone of the US space program, and the USSR heavily based its own rockets on nazi rockets, but it’s the work of Zander (pre-WW2) and Korolev (pre-WW2 and post-WW2) that got rockets and then humans into space. Unlike the USA’s space program, Korolev refused to integrate nazi scientists in his operations, only brought some to help reconstruct V2s then sent them away. His team quickly surpassed german designs, the R-7 that got Sputnik to space was an entirely soviet design that had nothing in common with the V2.




  • No political compass no, I just like pastel colors because they make me happy (really that’s the entire reasoning).

    I tend to make conservatives orange these days due to the orange president, but it’s not always the case, just a mood of the moment thing. I like the other commenter’s reply, art is in the eye of the beholder, the colors are whatever you see in them - I probably unconsciously saw something in them when I was making the comic in the first place, you never truly randomly choose things after all.


















  • This meme is proving itself true. People romanticize the EU too much and/or don’t know about what’s going on in here.

    I spend a lot of my free time helping migrants in my home country (France), they do get rounded up and sent in camps called “Centre de Rétention Administrative”, some really really really bad places. Our police has been controlling IDs of parents outside schools, doing surprise ID checks at workplaces, etc. for a very long time. What ICE is currently doing isn’t new to us. For example, earlier this year, we had a very public and pretty big ICE-like operation, and believe it or not, the general public cheered.

    Mate you tell me to not talk about Frontex, well too bad, I will. The official death count is now at 66 519 as of 2025. That’s just the documented death count, imagine what the real one is. We’re not even counting Libyan torture camps and other similar lovely places paid for by our taxes. Some of my friends lost family members because of Frontex, I won’t shut up about it just to please you. ICE is bad but it’s not an exclusively american evil, it’s a standard and expected incarnation of capitalist imperialism.

    Yes, I’m happy to be living in the EU rather than in the USA. I do think the USA is a much worse place right now. But the difference is much easier to argue about when you’re not on the wrong side of those massively murderous policies.

    TL;DR: We have our own camps. Greece has one that’s reminiscent of your Alligator Alcatraz. Chill tf out.
