True story, the US is a state founded by immigrants.
Illegal immigrants, no less.
And before the decade-long process of today, even the legal immigrants had it way easier.
Want to be an American? Great*, get on a boat, avoid icebergs, get off the boat at a port of entry, and talk to someone who will misspell your name.

The Left is right. This doesn’t make sense.
You mean the right is wrong… not helpful either sorry
and on the right… nothing’s left… 😔
Immigrants? So elongated muskrat?
Exactly. normally when we think “immigrants” we think of the peniless illegal people who crawl under the fence or swim around it. No. The real enemy immigrants are the wealthies.
Especially the ones buying up all our real estate so houses sit empty and cost too much for anyone to live in them.
Is this loss
knives out
this is a both-sides argument, and therefore wrong.
because i can convey my point in a short phrase, i am therefore the winner.
Louis Armstrong with his brother Lance Armstrong back in 89 both went to the moon. All so you could have smaller computers and political posts like this :/
I removed and moan as much as the next bloke, but yeah that comment hit me right in the soul (assuming I have one).
so many things wrong here:
- lois armstrong played the trombone
- lance armstrong’s real name is buzz aldrin
- it was '69, not '98
- the moon landing was in no way politicized
- i am not using a computer, but a phone
The LGBTQ does not steal your money, they steal your sex!
And the solution is?
When are we gonna stop demonizing the other half of population, start understanding they may be right right at something and I may not be right about everything. People unite 🤝
“See we should all just come together and agree to believe what I believe. You should just accept that sometimes you’re wrong, even though I haven’t presented any evidence. If we agreed, we wouldn’t be fighting; therefore the charitable thing for you to do is to cause us to agree by changing your opinion to match mine”
People prefer circlejerking instead of trying to understand each other.
bruh this is the worst 4 panel ive seen this week
This is best content on Lemmy this month.
Political comics are hard to critique because people see it as an attack on the message and not the abysmal quality.
Isn’t the message the point? Aren’t political cartoons historically the epitome of low-brow art? No one here is writing a thesis on Line Thickness and 17th Century Liberalism Themes In Dilbert.
If by ‘worst’ you mean ‘bravest’ and ‘truest’ and ‘most important’ then I agree
Making fun of rightoids sure is brave on this site…
making fun of the right wing is a victimless crime as they don’t believe victims
Making fun of conservatives on a largely liberal-communist website, damn nothing braver than that lol
Aren’t liberals and communists bitter enemies?
Sorry I’ll try to illustrate this better.
Liberal ----> Communist
As in, anything to the left of conservative which is the majority user base of the lemmy community. Yes I’m aware liberals are capitalists still, don’t try to play these stupid games you know what I meant.
I’m not trying to play any stupid games, I’m asking you a question.
No need to get rude about it.
You’re asking a question meant to illustrate that I don’t know what I’m talking about because you didn’t understand my original comment or you are trying to discredit me because you believe I’m conservative. I’m not, I just think the meme itself is derivative and doesn’t understand the POV of conservatives. They aren’t convinced gay people have all the money, they just hate LGBT people in general because they’re bigots and believe the economy is shit for different reasons entirely.
Strawman arguments seem to be a commonality everywhere, it’s not really useful outside of circle jerking that you’re smart and no one else is.
I think you are overthinking my comment.
I hear what you’re saying, but this is why words are so important. They have meaning. Especially political ideologies.
Which is why I said liberal to communist. Moderate left to far left.
The funniest part is how the artist felt the need to write “the left” and “the right” on the characters as if this highly intellectual commentary is too subtle to understand without help. We’ve reached below the point of crappy editorial cartoons.
It is too subtle to understand. Without the labels, they’re just random people and the message is lost. We’re not talking about random dumb dumbs that don’t understand how Western oligarchies work, we’re talking about the conservatives that actively cheer it on.
I think the content is good. The art feels a little rough, not sure if it is a style or not. If the original author is new at this stuff, this is pretty good. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Too bad there is no working class left. The college educated left liked belittling blue collar workers too much.
-
There’s no blue collar worker’s because it doesn’t pay enough.
-
Educated people can and should work in blue collar fields, but unfortunately our society bases everything on money, so leaving blue collar work for higher paying jobs is literally the dear and fluffy capitalism you love so much. Anyone with an education is going to seek the highest paying job possible and none of those are blue collar.
-
“working class” doesn’t mean field hands and electricians, it means everyone that isn’t a multi millionaire. I work in IT and am still working class, you work blue collar and are working class, the salesman that works for a bank is working class. Unless you’re the owner of a business entity and do not have to work to pay your bills, then you’re “working class.”
-
The conservative ideology has ground the middle class into non-existence through the deregulation of the market and the abysmal failure of trickle down economics. Compounded by the uselessness of the Democratic party (cause they’re all just old money career politicians too, what a surprise) not doing a damn thing when they’re in control of the legislative branch. Not because educated people made fun of yokels too much. You’re drawing conclusions out of your feelings, not reality.
Bro, there are tens of millions of blue collar workers nationwide, and depending on the trade, pays exceptionally well. Not millionaire well, but well enough to live reasonably comfortably.
-
Lmfao what?
The… The college educated left are still working class, the blue collar workers are also working class, you are working class, I am working class.
Unless you are part of the owner class, you are the working class.
Everyone on the left is in the ruling class? Whoa! I’m rich!
I bet you felt really smart typing that
I’m so fucking sick and tired of seeing politics everywhere on lemme. You guys are worse than redditors with this shit
I’m sorry people aren’t posting content relevant to your personal preferences.
May I suggest you use filters, or perhaps go fuck yourself?
For a laugh, here’s what this definitely consistent person with a principled dislike of politics (which definitely isn’t just things they disagree with) posted immediately after their complaint:
US fed doesn’t recognize basic ethics laws, how unsurprising
A boring dystopia
Based. If you see something you dont like on the fediverse, you can ignore it (like a sane person) or filter it out (also like a sane person).
