Prove me wrong, you’re just whining and moving your goalposts.

You don’t do jack shit. I’ve been in several political parties and am a sergeant in the reserves, because I know Russia is a dimwitted developing nation with a brainwashed populace, so I need to know how to use the weapons we use and the ones they use.

Ask me how many times I’ve taken apart and put together the most popular Russian LMG’s.

Everything you’ve asked I’ve given, but you whine about “nyyyaaah nooo you weren’t supposed to actually name a policy the left pushed through even though I specifically asked for one byyyaaah wyyyaaah”

This is why you always lose your wars, cyka.

We have it in Finnish as well “leipätyö”, literally ~“bread work/job”.

We are defined not by our employment status.

Wooow sooo deep man. I could have never guessed or referenced anything that would have even remotely suggested that to be the case, I’m just utterly shocked for this new information. However can I thank you enough for opening my eyes? Thank god you made me aware with this shitty comic that doesn’t remotely manage to actually make that point, only thinks it does because of it’s naive sophistry that entirely relies on a semantics point that it can’t actually cover.

Yeah, it’s annyoing when people ask you “what do you do” but it’s also annyoing when people use “literally” as emphasis rather than it’s literal meaning. But we can still tell the two apart, and I’m certainly not autistic enough to actually stop a conversation to deadpan someone and say “uh, I think you mean ‘figuratively’”. Sometimes jokingly with a close friend, sure, but like, in public discourse? Nah. Because it’d also be wrong, because linguists agree colloquial language is descriptive instead of prescriptive.

So yeah, attempt to semantically shift the word all you want, I’ll be happy if you succeed, but I really don’t believe anyone will manage it in my lifetime.

Edit also all the things she liste are pretty much things you could do as a job. Even the playing with a puppy bit, as a dog sitter. So even she is employing the word with the context of a job related to it. She doesn’t talk about enjoying time with her puppy, she specifically mentions an activity with it. She doesn’t talk about just relaxing or thinking about pleasant things or enjoying sewing. No no, she specifically mentions labouring to produce clothing and gardening to produce produce (or flowers but a product nonetheless).

Hobbies are things you do? Working at a restaurant is also what she does.

One would think a writer would understand that.

Yes, yes, capitalism is evil and loss of meaning is real, but the “gotcha” in this comic is semantics.

“You’re out of line wyaaah, you don’t agree with my bullshit propaganda wyyyaaah, lefties don’t do anything despite reality, look, here, let me list my ethnocentric googling results of random things by the right”

Jesus f king hell you’re annoying. What are you, 12? Or an actual Russian. One or the other based on the level of discourse you’re capable of.

Is your social Healthcare argument something that was implement by the left within the last decade.

You can’t properly read comments twice that long, but now are asking for specific policies and laws that left has pushed through.

So literally just ignoring everything I say and saying “nuh-uh, the left doesn’t do anything”. When shoved with fucking example after example after example.

And then dismiss Russian propaganda completely, as if I’m avoiding criticising my local politics because you’re ignorant of them?

Every tome I think I’ve seen the most stupid shit you come up with shit like that.

“Wyaa wyaaa cookies online don’t matter WYAA WYAAA I’m asking for specifics wyaaah byyyaah.”

It’s not my problem you’re illiterate, is it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation

(Regulation (EU) 2016/679),[1] abbreviated GDPR, is a European Union regulation on information privacy in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). The GDPR is an important component of EU privacy law and human rights law, in particular Article 8(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union

Or maybe you think 2016 was more than 10 years ago, with your arbitrary random garbage. Honestly you’re doing a shit job of whatever it is you’re trying to do. “WYAAA WYAAA IGNORE THE RIGHT I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE LEFT SO THEY DON’T EXIST BYYYAAAAHHHHHHHH MY IGNORANCE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN YOUR OBJECTIVE DATA BYYYAAAH”

Go back to listen to Joe Rogan you ignorant right-wing Vanja Jr

You refuse to accept reality and just whine on about how left won’t ever work.

And weirdly, you won’t address the part where I point out your naive and nihilistic bullshit wrong.

Just because you don’t care or understand politics except for the ones you see talked about on comedy shows doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.

You ignored the part where I point out here an unemployed person will have subjectively completely free healthcare. Doesn’t have to pay a dime for their meds or doctors meets or treatments.

You also ignore the part where your rhetoric is playing right into the pocket of the right wing / Russian agenda.

You’re just yelling “left bad left bad” while implying the right doesn’t suffer from absolute lunatics and uninformed voters. “The left doesn’t know what the fuck is going on half the time.” And right wingers never do, living in some lalalalands of their own imaginings. So the left still wins by knowing their shit at least half the time.

Either you’re dimwitted or just straight up bad faith propaganda spamming.

Fuck your dimwitted attempt at spreading apathy. No data and only vague bullshit about NA politics. Educate yourself better.

Having recently gone to a rave I can confirm clothing like that does in fact exist

Walking out of a the largest EDM festival held in the Nordics, I saw a guy standing in the stairs in a morphsuit (basically whole body skintight suit, head and all), prominently displaying much like the man in the comic, sans the strip.

I just had to walk up to him, smile, and give a few very gentle squeezes.

He returned the favour.

'Twas a pleasant interaction. No homo.

Again, quit being so ethnocentric.

The reason that Europe is yet to be fucked as bad as the US is that we still have prominent leftist parties who actually do further leftist agenda.

I can reject cookies when I visit websites. Thanks lefties.

I don’t have to pay for my medications or doctors. Well, at most like a few hundred. At most. And if you don’t make any money, you don’t have to, social security will take care of your bills.

What has the right done, on the other hand? Taken away free dental care from under 18’s, massively fucked the dental for adults as well, mostly privatised it. Similar attempts with other systems.

So if one is actively seeking to make my life worse by not caring a single bit about the consequences of their policies, and the other is attempting to drive through policies which would counter said privatisation, and also have attempts to help the general populace, then yeah, I know who I’m voting for.

Luckily I don’t live in a silly two-party system, although partisan systems in general are kind of dumb in my opinion, even the multi-party ones. But that’s a step too far to discuss with someone used to North-American politics, I think. I mean granted Canada isn’t a two-party system but in practice it is closer to the US as a system than most European governments.

And let’s just skip over the whole part where your spreading of apathy is playing directly into the pocket of the right wing American parties and thus serving the Russian agenda.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_disinformation

ineffective the left are at capturing any of the population. It’s dead in

In North America.

I think your sense of politics on a national level, is massively dirtied by your southern neighbour.

The left isn’t ineffective. Most people definitely know and favour leftist policies if you go ask them. Only some weird right wingers wouldn’t agree that it’s the government’s job to help it’s people.

So because there’s no good talking points on the right, the current propaganda is “don’t even support the left, they won’t achieve shit”. As is sowing apathy. Apathy is the single greatest tool an oppressor could wield. When people don’t believe change is possible, no-one does anything about it. “why bother” they say “it won’t work anyway”.

You can’t know until you try. I know I’m too guilty of this as well. But realising something and being able to not be affected by it are two different things.

The left can’t bother to do much beyond tell others to disengage and not work too hard.

You’re American, aren’t you?

You do know that in the US, roughly one people out of 10 are literal millionaires, yet your major cities still have huge homeless populations (whom most have jobs by the way, some homeless people working several jobs) and literal shit on the street.

Say what you want about the Nordic model but it’s definitely much further left than whatever bullshit America is doing.

And we’re doing pretty okay. We have no human shit on our streets. Can you say the same?

She had toxoplasma gondii, he didn’t.

What reality?

Do you not read the comments you reply to?

Russian strategy was exactly to perpetuate the idea eveyone hates Democrats and to vote third party or to not vote at all “to protest the system”.

You’re literally propagating Russian propaganda. It doesn’t even matter if it’s true. The fact is that it’s well known and documented that that is exactly what the Russians kept chanting when they managed to influence the American elections.

So gz either you’re brainwashed by Russians or you’re actually one. Idk which one is more shameful tbh

Anything but admit that Russian propaganda is real, huh?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections

One of them is definitely the electoral college.

That’s why most countries, democracies especially, prefer direct presidential elections.

By reposting something Russians bots have been using, you are part of their propaganda though.

Shit like is what led to trump.

“no bad pr”

Posting something “as a joke” makes the propaganda less propaganda?

That’s how things are spread. Ofc eveyone will pretend not to take this seriously. But despite you pretending I can’t understand what “Not the onion” posts are about, we’re probably gonna end this with you avoiding answering me to why Russia has committed so many crimes against humanity.

First you’ll pretend not to know what I’m talking about and “how does that even” or some annyoing bullshit I’ve seen a million times.

Just like Davel@lemmy.ml claims to be an American while clearly being Russian, just like MicroWave pretends he’s an actual user and not a pathetic propaganda shill, you’ll pretend something along those lines as well, I’m guessing.

(hexadecimal)

Again with this propaganda bullshit. Don’t you people get tired of swallowing Putler’s cum?
