I'm sure it's annoying for some to click offsite, but it's 20 panels long. IMO worth the read, though!

There is a particular sort of pessimism that liberals always surprise me with. Something actually magical happens in this scenario, and the best they can imagine is what we currently have, just with some incentive to not get famously rich. No wonder so many of them resort to doomerism, they think it'd take two actual miracles for people to even question a system that produces millionaires.

For anyone who sees this and gets upset because they liked the comic, is this really what you think humans are capable of? Just this?

    Not sure what that's meant to refer to tbh. People are supposed to get banned for this?

    Edit: Oh, I'm supposed to be a Russian bot for criticizing liberalism (the system that smashes babies to create billionaires), and then saying that humanity is capable of more than this. Yeah dude, totally, of the two of us, I'm the most bot-like.

    Ah no, that was more about a recent, infamous bot-strike plantation.

    You know... your colleagues. 😀

    Right, obnoxious as always. Have fun waiting for the miracle that you don't even want to fix things.

    You know, at the time, I was receiving dozens of comments, and no doubt gave yours short shrift. Let's see if I can do better...

    Right, obnoxious as always.

    In truth, if you're a right-winger in and around the States (which you seem to be based on your apparent misapprehension of the word "liberal"), then yeah... you can probably expect obnoxiousness and scorn from the likes of me, and many others. And that's how that works, like it or not, mate.

    Have fun waiting for the miracle that you don’t even want to fix things.

    Curious what you think is actually happening here. I'm sharing a pipe-dream, silly comic here, and somehow you're accusing me of 'not wanting to fix things?'

    Scuse me mate, but were you somehow thinking that I was offering up any kind of realistic solution, here..?

    You're not even a social democrat, those people at least pretend not to be liberals. You're a liberal.

    Spoken like an American doofus who doesn't have the slightest idea upon what the classical term "liberal" actually means, yup. XD

    You are an Amerikkkan doofus, though. Also anyone who unironically calls themselves a classical liberal is a mask-wearing fascist.

    Okay, shit-stirrer who can't even maintain an acct for more than a few days.

    Also anyone who unironically calls themselves a classical liberal is a mask-wearing fascist.

    And if you parrot a nonsensical line enough, does it eventually become true in your mind? :D

    Please don't be an idiot?

    Not unlike Alice in Wonderland, it was always just a pipe-dream, mah dude...

    "It was always just a pipe dream."

    Well, at least they're honest that they have zero plan for anything to ever get better.

    Via what path(s) do you see things getting 'better?'
