Incels scorn society and the world for making them ugly, no powerful jawline, no American Pie sex adventures in high school, and no nice suits to wear to their minimum wage jobs. To incels, they are the forgotten scum of the earth.

Well, The Joker is a film about an abused, poor, and lonely comedian getting his face kicked in by teenagers about a month before rising up, killing a late night tv host, and vengefully breaking Society down into chaos and misery.

So, they just think The Joker makes them look cool. That’s really it. Every time they think about shooting up an elementary school, they also think about Arthur Fleck gunning down Murray Franklin.

There is if you know where to look, but yeah, I feel you. I want to wear long flowy coats and such, but they’re all cut at the goddamn hip.

Counter point: I don’t give a shit. Live life, rock n roll, sonder on, and fuck the police.

and I’ve finally figured out style

Heeelllll yeah \m/

I’m aware, yes. Do we have pictures of Trump and Xi doing… I dunno, these hand gestures?

We could probably stitch together photos of them giving speeches, but… I dunno. I don’t really know.

I’m trying to think of how this would be done without AI, actually, and I don’t really know.

It is funnier with Trump and Xi here. Maybe. Maybe stock photo could have worked, but… I dunno.

It is funnier with Trump’s facial expression in the third panel.

We obviously don’t have pictures of Trump and Xi playing poker.

I do agree that the idea here is much more important than the visuals.

I’m just really struggling to be upset with this one.

Yeah, but I think this is more about those art of the deal folks who still have to pretend he’s a master negotiator.

I want you to realize for a moment that you are arguing with one sentence in a comic that said of itself “I will not explain what this means right now.”

Yeah, and check this out!

That’s the type of independence I want to strive for.

They want to “strive” for “issues”? We know what they think independence is. Why do they want to destroy society??

I’m 100% positive that this comment will get downvoted heavily

Don’t worry, buddy, I’ll get you started. 🫡

Which is why they deserve and need to be mocked mercilessly until they fuck off or get therapy.

I’m doing my part. 🫡

Actually, I missed this thread.

My friends do that.
Live your dream, mate.
Be free~

the cartoon implies that anyone who says violence isn’t the answer is lying/hypocritical.

No… it doesn’t. By its adversarial nature, it heavily implies the answers “no” to the first two questions.

Like, your main criticism is that the comic doesn’t make any sense if the answer to either question was yes, but that’s the definitive reason I wouldn’t read it that way.

A rhetorical question that you know (or are insisting you “know”) your opponent disagrees with is a very common language trick.

because it’s sort of how the food chain works,

If you’ll notice, it’s not very often a vegan advocates for cheetahs to stop eating antelope.

Here is a nice little inflation chart I’ve assembled:

You people are upset about (analogy) gas being 5.31 a gallon when you should be upset that you don’t make enough to afford gas at 5.31 a gallon. You should make enough to afford a $450 switch 2, and the fact that you don’t is because your masters have been stealing from you for 30+ years. Or since forever, if you’re as woke as me.

Game consoles are sold at a loss. You are supposed to buy more games than the console costs.

That was a good read, thank you. :)

You know that thing our collective parents do when they want to win an argument so they just start attacking you for random things you did 6 years ago? That’s exactly what this person is doing.

The person above you, I mean.

Uh. I’m gonna guess no. Is there an anime lady with robots?

God, this image is cool. Very NaissancE, if you’ve ever played that.
