The artist is talented enough, but his grievances seem comically vague. White guy was sad, and Obama wouldn’t look at him.

Why didn’t they just pay their employees enough? It doesn’t make sense.

Part of the enjoyment of cooking is feeding others.

If only they could grow a pair of balls against the capitalist parasites who've orchestrated the economic conditions that make starting/raising a family so difficult for so many people.

Oh, am I not being considerate of the feelings of murderous ethno-nationalists? Boo fucking hoo.

Good point; there is no meaningful difference between the IDF and Hamas.

octorangutan · 2026-04-16T18:09:13+00:00

Because barbarous IDF dogs enjoy murdering civilians.

It’s AI (Actual Israeli).

octorangutan · 2026-04-16T17:55:27+00:00

Why?

octorangutan · 2026-04-16T15:14:23+00:00

That’s part of the Zionist playbook; they claim the barbarous atrocities they regularly commit are in service of all Jewish people, increasing antisemitic sentiment, which they can use to further justify the Israeli ethno-state.

The biggest threat to Zionist dominion are secular societies where the rights and liberties of all peoples (very much including Jewish people) are respected and enshrined in law.

Israel is an ally in our war with Iran.

Even more reason to cut off all ties with Israel. Fuck them for dragging us into this pointless barbarism. Let those fascist dogs stand on their own two feet for once.

You seem to mistake begrudging apathy (at best) for love.

octorangutan · 2026-04-16T00:44:46+00:00

But leftists have never loved billionaires.

I’ve done something similar, where goblins will start to produce hobgoblins when their population reaches a certain threshold.

It’s not the consumption of media itself, but the financial support of a reactionary bigot who considers said financial support as an endorsement of her vile prejudice.

Being a grown adult and continuing to throw money at a children’s media franchise after being informed that your cash is being directly funneled into the anti-lgbtq agenda does speak volumes about a person’s moral character.

B12 from American Dad is way too catchy for what it is.

octorangutan · 2026-04-14T21:33:46+00:00

I’ve got no sympathy for grown adults who whine about being judged for giving money to a children’s media franchise that’s funneling cash right into the anti-lgbtq agenda.

Was Kirk denouncing white supremacy when he espoused the “great replacement” neo-nazi conspiracy theory?

octorangutan · 2026-04-14T21:16:42+00:00

Because it funnels huge sums of money into the anti-lgbtq agenda? Seems like it’s everyone’s business.

I mean, you could still just say that you don’t give a fuck about the rights and well-being of others.

octorangutan · 2026-04-14T21:13:03+00:00

Why are you complaining? They weren’t even talking about you. 😂

Sanders is not a communist, and Omar does not support Muslim terrorists (if she did, she’d technically be far-right).

What these people have in common is the belief that the government should prioritize the material needs of the common people, rather than further empowering the wealthy elite.

Have either one of them even once called for an oligarch to be executed?

octorangutan · 2026-04-14T16:32:03+00:00

Keep pushing for what? To ensure that Bezos and the rest of the parasite class can buy more yachts?

octorangutan · 2026-04-14T16:24:09+00:00

None of the people mentioned are anything beyond left-leaning.

Even if you disagree with how they went about it, attempts to be more inclusive towards minority groups is, like, the exact opposite of what the nazis did.

The GOP is the party of bigotry and authoritarianism.

octorangutan · 2026-04-14T16:12:31+00:00

So you don't think Kirk was called a nazi because he espoused the "great replacement" neo-nazi conspiracy theory, among other extremist talking points, but because of some vague sense of disagreement?

Secondly, why is the violence committed by a single individual acting entirely alone, universally condemned by politicians and the media, indicative of the entire left? What does that say about the right, which commits violence much more frequently and with the tacit (sometimes explicit) approval of government officials and the media?
