Billionaireism is fractally terrible. By definition, the kind of person who will inflict the kinds of harms needed to amass billions of dollars in pursuit of total impunity is someone who will use that impunity to hurt even more people.

What are we supposed to do with this informaton? #comic

4-panel comic of a tech conference. A speaker and an interviewer are on the stage. Panel 1, the speaker says: "this is the future, and it will take everyone's jobs, and they won't be able to feed their kids, and I'm a genius." Panel 2, a question from the audiance: "what are we supposed to do with that information?" Panel 3, the speaker is thinking. Panel 4, the speaker says "Give me more money."

Our culture is not your costume #comic

A 4-panel comic. 1st panel: In a political rally, an angry politician in a suit surrounded by armed flag-carrying men shouts "kick out anyone who goes against our heritage and religion!" Attendants look confused and look up information in a screen. Panel 2, zoom in on people surrounding a screen that shows a list: OUR HERITAGE: Democracy, Equality, Individual liberty, Human rights, Separation of church and state, Freedom of religion, Scientific Rationalism, Critical thinking, Education, Art, and more. In the 3rd panel they look up another list: OUR RELIGION: Unconditional love, Compassion, Helping everyone, Generosity, Humility, Integrity, Pacifism, Anti-wealth accumulation and more. In the final panel everyone surrounds a catapult by the sea and are cheering, while the politician from the 1st panel and the armed men are inside, about to be kicked out as instructed. The politican says 'Now wait a minute.'

Burning your legacy to briefly lick boots #cartoon

Cartoon. A bunch of men kneel to an unseen ruler. One of the men says to the other “when he’s gone, do you think we will be remembered for anything other than this?”

Your country needs you (to wave a flag)
#comics #politics #patriotism

A comic of a dialogue between two people. The first wears a T-shirt and a hat with the word 'Flag' written on it, as well as holding two flags that also have the word 'Flag' on them. The second person next to him doesn't have any flags. The flag holder is shouting "I LOVE MY COUNTRY". The second person says "Great, me too. So let's feed its kids." Flag holder says "No". Second person: "Make sure everyone in it is healthy, safe and educated. Protect them from being exploited. Give them a fair chance." Flag holder: "Pass". Second person: "Protect its nature, its clean air, its rivers, create green jobs and communities, buy local, become energy independent with renewable resources." Flag holder: "Hippy shit." Second person: "Take back control of essential utilities from private monopolies and profiteers." Flag holder: "Nah." Second person: "Strengthen alliances, build bridges, exchange knowledge, help each other." Flag holder, eye rolling: "Yawn." Second person, increasingly exasperated: "Fund its iconic institutions, its culture, arts and letters, the best things it's known for, learn from its real history so we get better." Flag holder: "Woke." Second person: "Ok, what it is specifically that you love about this country? And what have you ever done for it?" They stare at each other. Flag holder, angry: "You HATE your country."

AI has democratized solipsism, a privilege that was once the exclusive purview of billionaires, whose belief that most other people weren't fully *real* let them inflict the kind of mass pain on millions that is a prerequisite for amassing a truly vast fortune: pluralistic.net/2025/08/18/s... 16/
