This made my fucking week, thanks

Neat! Thanks for putting it on my radar :)

Had never heard of it, do you have any context for its origin or how you’d described it? :)

I am not the most knowledgeable on this subject but didnt they just do what amounts to slavery in their colonies like in India? They had colonial rule over India until like sometime in the 1900s didn’t they? Like they were an imperial nation, I’m not sure it really matters if the the exploitation and bloodshed happened within their own landmass, but perhaps I don’t know the history of england very well

I just checked and Ireland didn’t gain independence until 1949. I think the idea that the British empire and it’s monarchy is better than the democracy that extended its benefits only to white men is kind of a hard sell. Its the British empire 😅

As bad as things are in the current moment I’m not sure theres a strong case that living under a literal monarchy with zero Democratic representation and no meaningful civil liberties was better 😅

The handful of merits of the American establishment may be currently disintegrating under the wright of neo-fascism, but the establishment the founders built, explicitly flawed though it was/is, is definitely a better establishment than imperialist monarchical British rule

If the midterms pass and hes unable to control them, the representatives coming in having a majority are the hope that something will happen to wrestle control back from him via democratic means.

Time will tell to what extent trump will be able to compromise the election, to what extent progressive candidates will gain a majority, and to what extent they exercise whatever level of control they get.

The only one I’m aware of is him saying “sometimes you need a dictator” when criticized by other world leaders who called him a dictator at some global politics event thing- are there others?

Currently kinda the last hope of things being resolved through Democratic systems is the midterms. Ultimately, I guess we’ll see how they play out

Dumbest and most disturbing timeline

I don’t expect most people still playing Pokémon go are actually kids 😅 I could be wrong, but as someone playing it until pretty recenly and who had friends who still played it at various points I don’t think its really popular with kids anymore

I barely understand what I just read but it made me happy, thanks for blessing us with your comic

Theyre called communities, which I often shorten to “comm” or “comms”. Mbin calls them magazines. Not sure if piefed has its own name for things

These two comms, and searching manually for keywords related to stuff I’m interested in. In the thunder and Jerboa apps that pulls up relevant communities

Hands them my baby pothos sappling 🥹😭

Is for the SAVE act? Thats pretty fucking damning, seeing as how its blatant voter supression

I swear to god if anyone breaks party lines on this…

This feels like a profoundly make or break moment for compete fascist control of the government

I feel like the beginning was a little too complicated and didnt have the best UX but I really loved the more multimedia way of presenting all the details together, with audio, video, textual information, and data visualization all brought together

Well thats sickening

Jesus Christ. Thank you for the context, I completely missed rhat

Someone used Nintendo IP to advertise fascism?

Wait there are claims he killed children after sexually abusing them?? Can you provide more info? I hadn’t heard anything to that effect. Thanks
