He's up there on my Nuremberg 2.0 trials list.

This guy has, and will continue to, get people killed with his weaponized stupidity.

this is slander, the worm would never say this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

If only we could excuse away the terrible people as unhuman but unfortunately that's likely all him and fully representative of the bullshit people can think up and treat as reality.

The lemmings here do it all the time too.

If only it was the brain worms from Futurama instead…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

instead he got a senile goauld parasite.

Uhm... How does this make sense? The world is being gangraped by rich white men in megacorporations. This feels more like someone tries to tie the irrefutable criticism of these megacorps to conspiracy nuts and deligitimize it.

Yes big pharma is obviously killing people and needs to be broken up. Same goes for the fast food and meat industry (for many different reasons), etc.

If you're not in the US, you may not be familiar with the specific person this comic is representing. It's not some kind of straw argument. This is the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and he is currently fucking up our Healthcare in all kind of dangerous ways. He had also been found to have a worm in his brain. The comic is accurate.

Did you know that you can mix in a little truth when you're spreading falsehoods in order to lend yourself some credibility? It's a neat trick because some people, evidently, expect liars to only tell lies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I agree that this is being done. How does this make my crisicism go away?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Because you're completely missing how fascists use elements of truth to drive you straight into right wing authoritarianism.

It doesnt, you were spot on. The messaging of this comic is ambiguous on whether it thinks big pharma is a conspiracy or not.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Alright, let me ask you both: isn't expecting a message like "everything worm-man says is wrong" or "everything worm-man opposes is good, actually" a little too simplistic? Don't we want a little nuance, even in our absurdist, 2-panel comic strips? I feel like I shouldn't have to spell out that the worm-man is capable of mixing fact and fiction to muddy the waters, but here we are.

I hear you from the realism perspective, but this is (hopefully) satire. Either you go all in with satire, or you don't - you can't half-foot a message when your audience is relatively unknown

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Nuance is dead.

He actually says these things in real life, so it's fair game for satire to use the type of things he says.

If satire pretended that he didn't say any of the things that sound reasonable at first, it wouldn't be satire. It would just be mudslinging.

"He had us in the first half" is like a goddamn mission statement with these people - pointing out real issues with the economy and then proposing the most batshit reasoning and "solutions."

thank you very much. :)

RFK is just a MAGA Dr. Mengele.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Let's not diminish the crimes against humanity of Mengele.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

RFK is killing far more people than Mengele ever did.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Killing people is not a crime against humanity. Slicing off unwilling victims body parts and sewing them to others is.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

wtf are you talking about ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

In the sense that he's a fascist madman subjecting innocent human beings to tests of his crackpot medical theories.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Am I the only one who feels like this shit is starting to be unfair to worms? I mean, surely they aren't this goddamn stupid

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

I seriously doubt that RFK Jr. can summon a concrete donkey.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Damn Doctor worm grew up maga.
