Like holy shit they're already starting to ban Marx in Florida and Ukraine is arresting communists. Fuck fuck fuck what do we do fuck.

It doesn't even matter to people that Russia hasn't been communist for 30 years, they're still going to use this as an excuse to come for even the mildest of leftists eventually.

This shit reaks of the rise of Hitler just before WW2. Except this time all of Nato is going full Nazi.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Apparently whoever made that never heard of the concept of 'bad taste'.

    Or maybe he's based and there's a deep leftist streak in the stories....?

      The later period of the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics were super weird. Mostly due to a writer called Ken Penders who definitely was not based. He did all sorts of messed up shit like have underage characters implied to have slept together and one story had a bee die from LSD.

      They had good writers from time to time too though who work on the new Sonic comics that are surprisingly good.

        have underage characters implied to have slept together

        If they're both a similar age and it's portrayed as part of growing up normally, I fail to see the problem. Ken was a flawed storyteller and a huge lib at times, but he didn't pedo-bait.

        uhhh turns out he lost his mind after the lawsuit lmao

          No, it was an adult character with an underage character.

          He said it was canon in a tweet that the 20-something-year-old Skunk character (who is basically his self insert) slept with Sally Acorn. Lol eww.

          He also had Sally be the only one that had to be naked while entering some magic pool she had.

            Oh shit, he tweeted this stuff out in 2019 and I totally missed it

            There are states here in the US where a 13-yr-old can marry someone in their 40’s, as repugnant as that reality is. Sally was 16 to Geoffrey’s 20, so I don’t see a problem given the relationship in Royal history.
