Childish: Accepting that the current system is insufficient and a massive undertaking is necessary if you have any morals whatsoever even if you personally aren't affected right now.

Mature: fuck you, got mine, I'm entitled to your vote 🍷

Childish: Listening to the argument to vote for a candidate who checks none of your boxes and deciding that this time enoughs enough, because that lizard is committing a genocide.

Mature: Upon hearing the long list of reasons people won't vote for your candidate, shut your ears and claim they require a perfect candidate who will create world peace.

Childish: Remembering the many promises the Dems have broken and requiring some sort of actual guarantee they will take action.

Mature: football-lucyfootball-charlie-brown

Childish: Having a memory that's longer than four years

Mature: This is the most important election of our lifetime!

"Best we can do is open containers in New York during happy hour. That way, you can enjoy your martini on the go!"

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 4 points 21 hours ago

Cheers I'll drink to that

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 9 points 21 hours ago

Smh you whiny leftists don't let perfect be the enemy of good. You're willing to hand the presidency to a fascist Cheeto, just because you disagree with Kamala on this one little issue!

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 29 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

"World peace" is implied to be a childish goal here.

Fucking treat hogs are vicarious ministers of death, praying for wars to watch on screens.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 20 points 22 hours ago

Also what a ridiculous strawman; it's literally America sending billions of dollars in weapons WILLINGLY to Israel; world peace would require other nations with any power to stop contributing to conflict (even though ironically it's us behind many of the world's conflicts), for Israel it's literally as simple as a call from the president and telling them to stop unless they want to end up like Libya, and to stop sending arms.

What a very childish strawman. How did our navy end up in (failed) conflict with the Houthis? They didn't magically teleport there, we sent them there.

If libs were acting in good faith, they'd yell at Kamala to STFU every time she defends Israel; in fact why don't they do that? If they're being intellectually honest, yell at her during her public speeches when she defends Israel to STFU; don't they want her to win? They should tell her to at least stop standing up for them and hurting her chances.

What utterly dishonest people.

A complete misuse of the meme format, a dogshit take, and they can't even finish the meme without frothing at the mouth over leftists who refuse to endorse genocide. Peak lib shit.

[–] threethan@reddthat.com 69 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Alternatively, a perfect use of the format. The guy in the second panel is basically space Hitler

it's perfect

I haven't seen the show, but isn't the dad meant to be incredibly controlling and fascistic in his worldview and is actually the overall villain of the show?

Yeah pretty much.

[–] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 14 points 23 hours ago

OK. I'm a fan of the comic. There's a fascist villain that's going to be introduced, but the dad isn't it. The dad's character explores, for a bit, the trauma that following orders blindly can bring about.

[–] Sinister@hexbear.net 6 points 21 hours ago

Well he is from a race of immortal ΓΌbermensch Nietzschean imperialist that infiltrate and take over planets but he gets an redemption arc because muh wife and kids

[–] anaesidemus@hexbear.net 4 points 20 hours ago

at the time of that dialog, yes

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 24 points 23 hours ago

I'd rather be a child than support genocide in the name of pragmatism.

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 60 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, yeah, this is a democracy. But your vote doesn't mater for most issues. You have to have genocide and war mongering, no sufficient action on climate change, etc. Your vote is only deciding between Republicans and polite Republicans. You stupid child, how dare you think your vote should have input in terms of what the government does.

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

I love how in one breath liberals will scream "voting matters! Republicans want to make it illegal" then in the next breath post memes like this where voting doesn't matter and you're simply ticking a box, but that's a good thing because what are you a child?

Bluemaga really is the most apt poltical term of the last decade

[–] 2812481591@hexbear.net 34 points 1 day ago

I dunno, guys. I only have the energy to vote in one election, and I have a feeling like the election after this one is going to be the most important election of our lifetime.

[–] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 22 hours ago

Scratch a liberal

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Liberals really are braindead with these kinds of takes, if policies don't matter then voting for Trump is equally as valid as voting for Harris

But then liberals screech "hIs pOlIcIies!!!" and when you point out Harris has equal or worse policies then Trump, suddenly its "policies don't matter, your voting for president not world peace"

Liberals don't believe in anything so their entire politics has to center around whatever power demands and how they can consume more comfortably

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 14 points 23 hours ago

The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 35 points 1 day ago

no one's asking for world peace, although leftists acknowledge U.S. role in most of the conflicts.

The weapons used to kill Palestinians are mainly U.S. made, that's the problem, the problem is centered on the U.S. and the role its President plays, not some lack of world peace.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 7 points 20 hours ago

Omni-man is literally a colonizer... fitting that they identify with him so strongly.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

Well at least now they can drop that bullshit about "less genocide than trump"

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah this is the kind of message that is going to really attract people to your cause.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

and that's the message we deliver to little kids and expect them not to know what electoralism is

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 4 points 21 hours ago

Hey it worked for Hillary! (Like the average democrat my memory only goes back four years, but I just saw that tweet about future president, so I guess she was one once)

IF YOU DON'T vote FOR 98% HITLER YOU'RE SUPPORTING 99% HITLER UNCONDITIONALLY jokah-messy

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

And once 98% Hitler is in office she pulls off a mask and reveals she's actually 101% hitler

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 4 points 20 hours ago

If hitler was a brat

[–] edge@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

"The neat part"

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

They say this then justify their disastrous interventions or weasel their way into why they aren't as involved and shit. Disingenuous people

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 7 points 21 hours ago

Liberals make an argument for voting Dems that wouldn't also justify voting for Hitler challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

[–] iie@hexbear.net 6 points 21 hours ago
