The best time to mount a resistance is years ago. The second best time is today.
No one is coming to save you, my friends. Strength, as always, lies in community building.
Also better written: “my friends: Strengthen yourselves together, you can achieve miracles when you bond.”
lmao this is dark… And a very good comparison of the world as it is now.
Reality is worse: 90% of sheep bred for meat are lambs slaughtered at less than 2 years old. Mutton (adult sheep) is cheaper and less preferred.
With how industry has changed chickens… I am always surprised they haven’t managed to modify sheep so that the adults are as desired as the young.
Why should they? Adults are more expensive to raise per kg of meat.
I assumed the adults were a lot bigger.
Not a lot. Growth slows down fast when an animal gets older.
So they are slaughtered at between 6 and 12 months, because that’s the time where the growth slows down too much.
No point in having a 30% heavier animal if it takes 2x as long to get to that point.
Totally, I didn’t realize they grew so fast. And in my head a lamb is like a baby. Guess not really.
Yeah, it’s like with the human term “child”. A child is anything from birth until age 12 or so. There’s quite a bit of a difference in that age range.
For sheep, a lamb is anything up to roughly a year.
In fact, sheep enter puberty at ~3-4 months, so a lamb will usually be slaughtered during puberty.
America is not the world, and Gaza has been in a constant state of resistance.
Has the sheep made any plans for this resistance? Have they made any preparations for it? Formed any organizations? No? They just expected all the other sheep to suddenly form themselves into an army, do all the work themselves, and then praise the guy who said “we should mount a resistance” as a great visionary hero?
The second sheep is right. That isn’t the time to say “we should mount a resistance”. It’s the time to actually resist using whatever means you have available. Of course, that would take actual effort and sacrifice, so they’ll just march to the slaughter wondering why the revolution never came.
The dude forgot to draw “Democrats” on collars.
No, redundancy doesn’t make it funnier.
*Oligarchs
I’ve gotten flack from supposed anarchists, or fascists really.
I believe you mean sheeple. It’s funny how “freedom” is written on everything, in every politician’s speeches, and uttered in media at least once per segment. And yet these same people who wrote and speak about it would never lift a finger to uphold the freedom of others, and break down and cry, exclusively, when their freedom is taken away for just being themselves.

I enjoyed OPs comic, but from that linked exchange OP is telling people to buy weapons and body armor to fight the government but then says they wouldn’t participate in this because they’re in Japan and would potentially be detained by ICE if they came here. They’re engaging in exactly what I quoted from your comment, which is why they’re getting flack. They’re deriding people for not throwing themselves into a meat grinder all the while safely sitting 6,000 miles away in comfort.
It’s exactly the opposite, stickly@ has given up on saving his own family and friends, when I asked them to insurrect. They are absolutely welcome to surrender. I have not.
I challenged them 🧵 to even dismantle tourist deportations, and downvoted my motion. I can face fascism to the barrel, but not by myself.
Are you?I’m genuinely trying not to be mean, but this is some of the most cartoonish “tough guy” language I’ve seen in a long time.
You’re literally just sitting at your home 6,000 miles away anonymously goading others into amassing weapons and armor to fight one of the largest super powers in the world, talking about how you’re “willing to stare down the barrel of a gun,” while whining about downvotes on a website and saying that you can’t participate because you might get temporarily detained at the airport.
Can I not have sympathy for Americans getting sent to deathcamps simply because I do not want them dead? How is it cartoonish to have sympathy at destroying fascism whenever it crops up, when it affects me too? You think I don’t have fascists raining down my neck because my imperialists never left?
I want everyone to live free. Be able to choose who they want to engage with, who to befriend, who to communicate, etc… Since we know your current despot will not help us, I choose to help folks that I can. And those are you.
It is a challenge of priorities. I don’t care about votes. Do you care to see your friends and family get abducted? That is the crux.
I don’t. So I’m fighting to keep my loved ones safe. I am revolting. Are you?
Can I not have sympathy for Americans getting sent to deathcamps simply because I do not want them dead?
Can you not tell us to kill each over your idiotic uninformed exaggerations?
when I asked them to insurrect
Do it yourself then. You’re not doing jack shit and everyone knows it.

sheeple
Let’s not dehumanize stupidity. It’s a serious mal-evolution we have to fight against constantly, esp. in a up-downvote network.
Rage against the machine mentioned something similar.
“What? The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy”
Yeah I don’t think they were talking about keyboard warriors that would never actually do anything.
If keyboard warriors aren’t effective, then why are they among the first people that dictators go after?
If keyboard warriors aren’t effective, why do MAGAs put so much effort into the Conservative Propaganda Machine?
They are ineffective. Dictators tend to suppress all dissident speech, not keyboard warriors specifically. Also, they can’t go after anyone not in their country. Obviously, the internet gives people that ability.
Most of the keyboard warriors I’ve seen are non-American. Trying to egg us on into indiscriminate violence.
Even if the keyboard warrior won’t actually do something, that doesn’t excuse you from doing the same.
I’m not the one calling for indiscriminate violence. Sheer stupidity playing directly into Trump’s hands.
Who’s calling for indiscriminate violence? I’m all for carefully targeted violence. Let’s make it count.
If not now, then when?
later
Tomorrow
I highly reccomend the book ‘Blessed is the Flame’ for a more in-depth take on this mindset, and how it breaks. It’s a short read, but quite incredible.
Blacks, women and LGBT folks have been the largest gun buying demographic for several years. You suburban white boys didn’t get the memo?
It’s a commitment for sure, NOT to be taken lightly. You do you.
Thyme
With some garlic and olive oil.
Forgot where I read because it’s been years ago, but someone said that humans should be blessed being born human and not as sheep, as sheep can be led anywhere without question including for slaughter.
@AntiBullyRanger they better remain peaceful. They don’t want to give the meatpacker an excuse to harm them
@AntiBullyRanger At least now I understand how “ordinary russians” came to be. Soon, “ordinary Americans” will be saying how they can’t do anything, because they will be getting arrested for holding a plain white paper. It won’t get easier and the fascist are not going to stop voluntarily or democratically, that’s kinda their whole point.
