i don't believe in the basic goodness of my fellow Americans anymore

first-time

I think part of the reason this all galls me so much more than 2020 or 2016 is because liberals are MORE haughty and 'distraught' because their perceived better human being lost, while said better human being was in the midst of aggressively aiding an ethnic cleansing.

i don't believe in the basic goodness of my fellow Americans anymore

Where've you been for the last...ever, clown boy? Just this millenium, this country has:

-Butchered Iraq and Afghanistan on the basis of lies for their natural resources and to sate bloodlust from 9/11

-Helped butcher Libya and Syria

-Is actively helping butcher Palestine while continuing to screw over Ukraine to spite Russia

And that's just the wars I can think of offhand, and many of these 'basically good people' were fine with them! We haven't even touched on how inhumanely this country treats the poor, or sexual/ethnic minorities, how immigration (if you're coming through the southern border) is so deranged I'm pretty sure it qualifies as human rights abuse, the endless deceit...this country hasn't been 'good' for as long as I've been alive, and it will only be 'good' when it is 'good and dead'.

Who could imagine the nation that engaged in indigenous genocide, racial slavery, indigenous genocide again, more slavery, regional imperialism, global imperialism, social murder, and then more genocide would be lacking in basic human decency?

like, no offense mark, but nobody in their right mind gives a shit about the quality of your work.

this is like a senior food engineer with a masters in endocrinology for McDonald's corporate announcing that they're going to really start phoning it in on the new McRib reboot.

like buddy, if you weren't already checked out, you fucked up.

Especially when you're in your 60s. Like you wait this long before you start slacking off?

Someone should write superheroes but like super edgy and FUCKED UP because the world is so fucked up. That would be so COOL I would see those movies. I have so many ideas in my head for this I wish the world was ready for it.

Dude that's awesome. What if superheroes were sad? I get sad sometimes.

[–] Hatandwatch@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

I don't know about sad superheroes, but there are sad horse shows.

I'm choosing to believe that this man is writing letters to superheroes and is keeping us all updated.

Writing a stern letter to Superman asking him why hasn't he nuked Washington DC

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Dear Superman,

I would like to see them do an animated Hitman show

But it has to be animated, because I can picture the cgi nightmare that Baytor would be and I hate it

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago

I am begging some of these people to notice that material causes exist

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago (2 children)

liberal baby fills his diaper, perhaps wonders whether the point of philosophy should be to change the world not just to explain it

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

Oh my god, shut the fuck up Mark

[–] OptimusSubprime@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Uphold Alan Moore/Garth Ennis thought.

Edit: Isn't Mark Waid the one who wrote Empire, the comic about the supervillain after he killed all of the heroes?
