4 frame comic. someone off-frame with a mic is interviewing passersby. they ask a man in a suit and sunglasses : sir! do you think the left's strategy to call everyone they disagree with "nazis" is helpful in any way? well I don't think american conservatism or trumpism are the same as nazism. they have similarities, but I think maga has fresh horrors in store that we can't yet comprehend. it's not nazism, but it's their own brand of never- seen-before, polyester- clad, ai-generated slop fascism. I think the most similar thing between "maga" and "nazi" is that there will come a day when they will evoke an equal sentiment of disgust in society.

Similarities

title : This government shutdown didn't happen by accident. it happened by design. 4 frame comic. we see Russell Vought, Curtis Yarvin, Russell Vought again, and the White House. Text reads : russell vought is the director of the u.s. office of management and budget and the key architect of project 2025. the nyt called him "the man behind trump's push for an all-powerful presidency." project 2025 includes a roadmap to achieve curtis yarvin's butter- fly revolution, in which the neo-reactionary leader advocates for replacing non-partisan gov't employees with loyalists, seizing control of public assets and centralizing power in a small group of elites. what vought aimed to do was create the conditions in which he could strip bare what he calls the "unelected fourth branch of government". back in february, he instructed agencies to prepare for mass layoffs on sept. 30th. this shutdown will give Trump the power to bypass Congressional oversight: Trump can just declare which areas are considered essential services, and ignore the 1974 law that prevents presidents from withholding federal dollars. this shutdown was the goal all along.

This shutdown happened by design.

4 frame comics. Emma Watson is giving an olive branch to JK Rowling. she says : Joanne, here's an olive branch. even though our views differ, it doesn't mean that I don't cherish and treasure my personal experience with you. Rowling then breaks the branch, eats it, and burps loudly.

How Fascism Works!

4 frame comics. in the first frame theres a MAGA hat. text reads : fascism is a "cult of the leader who promises national resto- ration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed commu- nists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation."

Oh hey hi!

a fake touristic poster of Portland that says "visit... war-ravaged Portland"

Visit... War-Ravaged Portland

I can't wait until they're completely wiped out at the next election.

I mean we're still easily in the top 3 in Canada in terms of trans rights. 😅 this is a setback because the government won't be using neopronouns anymore, but I'd still take Quebec over Ontario, the Maritimes or the Prairies in a heartbeat.

That's not gonna happen, progressive parties are usually anticolonialist lol

Oh I was actually suggesting the opposite – the PQ being even more transphobic, the government is trying to pull the rug from under their feet.

I'm not sure what you mean. The same thing could be said (and much worse) to what the British did in Canada to ensure we didn't speak French anymore.

Also, this follows the highly mediatized work of a cis-only "wisemen" committee on trans rights that published an horrendous report that suggested everything went too far.

For more context, they are in freefall in the polls. There's an election next year and they would receive 0 seat according to the polls, so they've been trying to polarize the population on every isdue possible for months.

4 frame comic. kash patel enters a door above which it reads FBI. he says : Guys guys guys guys there has been a shooting at an ICE facility! People around that we don't see say "double reichstag fire babyyy" "woohoo" "jackpot". 2nd frame, patel says : oh wait, it looks like the shooter is another right wing gun loving incel and he only shot detainees. people reply : nooo, bummer, booo 3rd frame, patel is holding a sharpie and a shell casing and says : don't worry because I have... a sharpie and a shell casing! people reply hell yeah, we're so back. 4th frame, patel is scribbling on the shell casing and says : what is it that the radical leftists are saying? "anti-ice"? people are chanting "kash, kash, kash, kash."

Double Reichstag Fire babyy

four frame comic. first strip, we see Joshua Jahn on a hunting trip. text reads :On wednesday, 29 years old Joshua Jahn opened fire on ICE detainees from a rooftop, killing one and injuring others before taking his own life. No ICE staff were injured. 2nd frame, we see the 4chan logo. text reads: According to accounts from his friends and family, jahn was an unaffiliated nihilistic edgelord, obsessed with far right online forum 4chan and first person shooter video games. an eerily similar profile as most recent mass shooters. 3rd frame, we see shell casings. text reads: However, the FBI said they found an unspent shell casing "engraved" with "radical leftist ideology". The released photo shows the casing with "anti-ice" scribbled on it with a sharpie. 4th frame, we see Kristi Noem. text reads : Even though this was a blatant anti-immigrand assault, the white house blamed "left wing extremists" and reiterated their goal to "dismantle domestic terrorist networks." I don't think they mean 4chan.

Just a feeling.

The governing right-wing coalition in The Netherlands is also trying to outlaw "antifa", so here is a (revised) dutch version of my poster.

In English :
"The government won't tell you that they are fascists, but they will say that anti-fascists are their enemies".

Orbán is poised to follow Trump's lead in designating "antifa" as a "domestic terrorist" organization, so I asked a Hungarian friend to translate this poster.
"The government won't tell you that they are fascists, but they will say that anti-fascists are their enemies".

because we're surrounded by about 330 million English speakers and without its existence, chances are we wouldn't be speaking it anymore today.

Un monde encore plus hostile

four frame comic. first frame is a picture of Nooran. text reads : This morning, while the country grieves the senseless death of Nooran Rezay, a 15 year old child who was shot dead sunday by a police officer, the Quebec government decided there were more pressing matters : saving the french language from the claws of evil feminists and trans people. 2nd frame, we see Roberge, minister of the french language. text reads : Following the recommandations of a committee made ony of cis people, they have decided to go full Trump and forbid the use of non-traditional pronouns, trans-related vocabulary and certain ways to make french less male-centred. 3rd frame, we see a hospital. text reads: The ban will be imposed on every provincial institution, including schools, hospitals, municipalities, etc, making the world an even more hostile place for trans people. 4th frame, we see premier Legault making a face like he doesn't care. text reads : With a election looming next year and the even more transphobic party PQ poised to win, we can see our premier prefers to resort to transphobia and misogyny rather than discuss police violence.

An even more hostile place

4 frame comic. Title : The sanitizing of Charlie Kirk's legacy. first frame, we see Charlie Kirk. Text reads: Charlie Kirk was constantly advocating for political violence and mocking the death of people he despised. He is even partially responsible for january 6th.

Text reads : he wasn't holding debates on college campuses. what he organized were flash mobs with hundreds of his followers to harass the students who had the courage to stand up to his hatefest, and create content for his social media empire out of it. 3rd frame, we see a silhouette behind a desk. text reads : he didn't start from nothing. In its infancy, his organization became fully funded by two reactionary billionaires, and has since been receiving a steady stream of shady money. 4th frame, we see the flames of hell. text reads : he was a professional provocateur and an obstacle to free speech. he leaves behind a world that he spent a whole decade polarizing. his legacy is hate, harassment and corruption.

The sanitizing of Charlie Kirk's legacy

4 frame comic. First frame we see a tent and a crowd. text reads : Charlie Kirk didn't hold debates on college campuses. What he was organizing were flash mobs where his supporters rallied at colleges to create ideal conditions for drama. 2nd frame, someone is speaking at a mic while people with red caps are holding phones up. text reads: Students who dared to stand up to him were facing a sea of hostile faces. The goal was to make them feel vulnerable to get good footage out of them. 3rd frame, we see the person from the 2nd in a youtube thumbnail. text reads : clips were then edited and clickbait thumbnail created to drive the highest engagement possible. the game was rigegd from the onset. 4th frame, we see a silhouette of Kirk. text reas: Charlie Kirk was "winning every debate" because there was no debate. It was a campaign to radicalize young men and purposefully make campuses unsafe to women and minorities.

Charlie Kirk never cared about debates.
