I’ve read it.

Orwell was socialist my dude.

Ever read one of his other books Down and Out in Paris and London?

It helps explain why he is a socialist.

I’m sure there’s some kind of subtle message the author of the comic is trying to tell me but I just can’t put my finger on it.

Just a couple of fun guys.

I’ll see myself out.

If this is a femboy then it’s SFW.

If this is a woman then it’s NSFW.

I don’t make the rules.

I’m going to generalise here but I have a strong suspicion I know the type of person/people who came up with this ‘brilliant’ idea.

Im guessing their homes and Stanley cups probably feature a pastel aesthetic.

Is that belt a bike lock?

I guess that’s the best representation bisexuals can expect.

Check my post history.

This would all be resolved if America just changed first past the post voting.

I’d recommend posting a tangentially political meme at some point on Lemmy.

The amount of people who will come out of the woodwork to tell you ‘don’t post this’ and ‘don’t make things political’ will really be eye opening.

People don’t want to address systemic issues and think not talking about them is a viable solution.

Yeah. America isn’t the world.

Plenty of countries have functioning public transport.

America is not the exception, you can survive without cars.

My frustration comes from the fact that hybrids exist and are not used nearly as enough as they should (all cars should have been mandated as hybrids a decade ago) and this would reduce the downsides of electric car production.

I’m not defending ICEs here, I just think the overall environmental credentials of electric cars at this point in time isn’t as good as hybrids.

I fully expect this to change in the future but I’ve got entire fleets of vehicles which are less than 5 years old being replaced by electric and that makes no sense.

Also cars generally are just a terrible solution to mass transport. We already have the most environmentally friendly option known to man. Bicycles and trains.

Edit: for further information on hybrid vs electric see this analysis:

It’s not a place for nuanced debate because I have no idea who I’m talking to.

I’d rather devote my time to having those nuanced conversations in real life (which I do) than trying to convince an American online through a meme community that gun bans would reduce school shootings for example.

To be taken seriously offline I necessarily have to make well reasoned and researched arguments.

Lemmy is where I come to blow off steam and just berate my ideological opponents because they genuinely are losers.

It is not a place for nuanced debate.

And the name of that human mountain guy?

Albert Einstein.

You sure showed me the error of my ways!

We’ll show you how much we can take a joke by down voting this comment!

(Yes, this comment will be downvoted too)

I feel like Carl Masks the travelling magical mask vendor was low hanging fruit for this.

Just curious why you’d go to such lengths to maintain privacy.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re probably of no interest to any authority. Unless you KNOW you’re doing something illegal.

To be clear I’m not saying that we all shouldn’t value privacy but, for example, could you not just keep an account for 6 months then delete?

Or are you worried that some 3 letter agencies will bust through your door within that time frame?
