It’s not just the comics, the news communities are also suddenly getting a surge of articles with fascist undertones (if not full-on fascist tones) that weirdly get a lot of support. I noticed for example that suddenly there’s a lot of articles talking positively of France, even though it is going extremely fast into fascism and has a president directly supporting nazis. A few months ago this would have never worked.

The only places where this doesn’t happen are the less popular communities, which also seems coherent with a bot attack.

I love how common these news are

“The US is now targeting the “normal” people, so you should start caring now!”

Bitch, if you were not giving a shit when it was the “illegal” immigrants, then you deserve to be put in jail with them. Maybe it will teach you empathy and you’ll end up less of a bitch.

Lemmy has a surprising amount of anti-vegan shit lately, especially in “humorous” communities.

Is this a campaign by fascists to slowly get accepted here? It seems a lot like it and like it’s working.

The kid that brings me my bacon sandwich when I’m hungover is about the height of a small bin, but he’s really lovely and is definitely learning more about the world than he would be sitting in his room.

And that’s the most important thing. Within reason, kids doing part-time jobs will teach them about the world. The grimmer the work they do, the more incentivised they’ll feel to work hard at school so they can avoid a rubbish job.

“Sitting in your room and developing a sense of self and learning to not require permanent social interaction is horrible. Instead, kids should suffer and see how soul-crushing capitalism is, so that they can be terrified into fitting in the mold and will accept settling for shit pays and jobs because they are already used to those”

I mean you’re basically describing star trek. It’s not like you can’t write stories like that.

Yeah and totally not the beginning with the romanticised rape scenes of a kid.

It is so much better when the abuse is face to face, isn’t it?

Macaron has a worse effect than LePen.

He got elected by pretending to be center-left. Even now, people consider that he’s a moderate right. He hires full-on far right extremists that lead a party of nazis, and passes them as moderate. He plays the card of the enlightened centrist to make it seem like the far right is a better alternative than the moderate left.

He is doing something that Le Pen couldn’t ever do: make the far right look like a reasonable, moderate party, while completely discrediting the left in its entirety.

Macron is paving the way for something much worse than Trump.

The pope liberally admitted that there is a problem with priests and that they are actively trying to protect and hide them from being arrested.

What the fuck are you talking about? If you like sects just go be part of them but don’t try to pretend that they’re fine.

I guess I’m the only one thinking that it’s fucking disturbing.

I don’t know, you’d have to ask the author of the comic but they’d probably spit out incoherent fanatical nonsense.

I guess the joke is “stupid atheists want everyone to accept their weirdness but they cannot handle someone having a nice innocent lovely religion” or something.

The problem being that everyone uses it to say “dumb people reproduce more and that’s the problem with humanity”, which I’m sure the nazis would like but that I struggle seeing as an acceptable opinion.

Nah, people are way to stupid.

Just look at all the comments already saying that “we need to have kids because are have smart genes and we need to fight against the evil stupid genes of the shit people”

Why is everyone so fond of this movie that is based on eugenics undertones?

And having kids is the best way to not get a better future.

Genes are a gigantic part of it. I know people who cannot lost weight while being active and at less than 800kcal per day, and others who can sit all day long and eat ~3000-5000kcal and not gain anything.

Overeating can cause weight gain, but there’s a lot of people who overeat without gaining weight, and others who eat little and still are overweight.

People are being brainwashed with crap like “calories in, calories out” or “exercise more” but that’s just bullshit. It pushes the idea that too much weight comes from a personality flaw and not health issues, but yet any actual (and by that, I mean proper) doctor will quickly search for medical reasons for weight gain because there’s a million of them. And a billion that are not known.

Telling people to have healthy habits is good. Telling overweight people, specifically, that they need to improve their habits is discriminatory and serves no purpose other than to dismiss health issues that push weight gain.

Fatphobia stems from a centuries-old view of overweight people as the “evil rich lazy politicians”. Now, the rich ones are the most skinny, muscular ones, because it’s actually hard to be reliably “healthy” (I do not count those as actually healthy, but well) without a shitton of money. As a result, people with weight issues are generally not rich and whatnot. We’re not in the middle ages anymore and maybe it would be time to adapt the views on weight to the current reality of science and society.

I think that it’s more a matter of means than of will.

I mean, even at the start with his “build a wall and make the mexicans pay for it”, I can guarantee that if he had the support of all of the US to enslave mexicans to make them build the wall, he would have. And as the other comment mentioned, he is actively participating in an ongoing genocide.

You think that if Trump had the power of Dukat, he wouldn’t have done much worse?

The whole show is garbage so I guess they just forgot to open the lid of the can

“More deserving” =/= actually deserving
