It almost as if education and critical thinking about what one is reading is important.

That book can be read to children in the context of it being wrong. It can be explained to children why it is wrong and that just because they read something in a book doesn't mean it's right.

What's better, educating people to think critically, or banning things so they don't have to think at all?

My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart

Wow that's funny because my feeling has always been exactly the opposite. It's why quippy, vapid bullshit like the Avengers and star wars is so popular.

It always fluorescent pink whenever I've seen it.

"No."

"You were hired here on the basis of being a team player."

"And I put in exactly the hours required of me by the job description. You're the manager; if slack needs to be picked up, it's your responsibility to do so, not mine."

My bosses all hate me, and I'm happier than ever.

Hmm let's flip this around and make it about Lowes and lesbians, and see how many people get pissed off:

Have you ever been in a Lowe's? The atmosphere is full of leftover teen angst, the misplaced desire to prove oneself, and anger disguised as jokes at the straights expense. Of course it's the lesbians home improvement store. And it fucking sucks

It's fun throwing stereotypes around, isn't it!

I stopped reading after the third book too, and that's exactly the sense I got.

There's no conclusions, just character deaths. It's just an unraveling web that becomes less and less coherent the further it goes.

No war but the class war.

Wealth equality would objectively improve the lives of every single person, not just women or minorities, but every single person.

Fighting wealth inequality is the ultimate humanitarianism.

Excellent use of the second and third panels. Really adds so much to the whole thing.

Still better than any motorsport.

“made to be less hated,”

They still want to be hated, just less.

Who's the halfwit that came up with that line lmao
