Kinda Commie Memes

The plutocrat in white in front with three legs. I thought it was a mistake from the colorist ( third leg belongs to the guy behind and should be brown) but I guess there was no colorist - or inker - or penciler - involved.

I hate this timeline / I don’t want to live on this planet anymore / stop the world and let me off

Yes, obvious now that you mention that.

I’d delete it, but I suppose it better serves as a lesson for all or most of us.

Oh, mostly a joke – it’s such an accurate portrayal of the shape of the world, but the cartooning is so on point. And funny in a scary way.

Maybe I should use /j or something . . .

That’s for sure. We need an AI-based AI detector.

Happy Birthday Bread Santa

It’s no surprise to discover that anarchist theorist Pyotr Kropotkin was interested in Christmas. In Russian culture, St. Nicholas (Николай Чудотворец) was revered as a defender of the oppressed, the weak and the disadvantaged. Kropotkin shared the sentiments.

But there was also a family link. As everyone knows, Kropotkin could trace his ancestry to the ancient Rurik dynasty that ruled Russia before the upstart Romanovs and which, from the first century CE, controlled the trade routes between Moscow and the Byzantine Empire. Nicholas’s branch of the family had been sent out to patrol the Black Sea. But Nicholas was a spiritual man and sought an escape from the piracy and brigandage for which his Russian Viking family was famed. So he settled under a new name in the southern lands of the Empire, now Greece, and decided to use the wealth that he had amassed from his life of crime to alleviate the sufferings of the poor.

Unpublished archival sources recently discovered in Moscow reveal that Kropotkin was fascinated by this family tie and the striking physical similarity between himself and the figure of Father Christmas, popularised by the publication of ‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’ (better known as ‘The Night Before Christmas’) in 1823.

I interpreted that as stoners arguing over whether SW or ST is superior. It’s still weird, though. Stoners aren’t exactly known for getting into heated arguments.

Eh, I’ll admit I groove more with Trek than Wars, but it’s all good, there’s more than enough sci-fi to love. Whatever floats your boat.

…and what about Babylon 5?!? :smiling_imp::rofl::smiling_imp::rofl:

Once a very-much-not-a-stoner guy at a party tried to get into a heated argument with me about whether SW was sci-fi. “IT’S NOT SCI-FI, IT’S A SPACE OPERA!!!#*@#!”

I Kessel Ran from that conversation in way under 12 parsecs (I’m so sorry I can’t help myself sometimes)

The real question, for this thread, would be where the good Commie memes are at… :rofl:

Better than both, though marginally better than ST and way better than SW.
