It's interesting to me that the MinSec lady hates electricity... while using a computer to post a comic strip online. Does anyone know if she ever addresses the contradiction there, or does she just kind of ignore it? I'd really love to see what kind of wacky justification she would use.

I mean, fair, but I'm not trying to be one of those guys, I'm genuinely curious what she has to say about it? Most people understand that current society requires technology to function but she's so adamant that we don't, so it's strange that she'd make a webcomic rather than like, a physical zine or something. sweetguts fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jul 26, 2021 |

You may be giving her more credit than she deserves. MiniSec strikes me as very underpants gnome re: sweeping change. It's very 1) SMASH THE SYSTEM 2) ????? 3) Perfect anarcho-primitivism!

I mean, it’s very hard to separate McMillan’s actual opinions out because she constantly shifts between: * Yes, this will all suck and be terrible and your Mom is going to die when you do it, but you have to do it if you actually believe in maintaining a sustainable lifestyle, sorry, Mom * No, this won’t suck at all, a primitive life is actually better than what you have * It doesn’t matter because the powers that be won’t let you * It doesn’t matter because other people are too vapid and comfort-seeking to go along with it, so it will never happen * I’m not actually saying any of this because it’s my extreme characters saying it

It's very The older stuff is crap, but I think the 2010 version deserves more credit. Kranti's friend calls out her primitivism as naive, her interactions with her mother aren't exactly flattering, and her journalist friend is basically too polite to call her crazy. The comic feels very aware that Kranti is ultimately mistaken.

McMillan is basically a downright terrible person. Anarchoprimitivism is inherently an ableist, transphobic, and frankly genocidal system and her entire schtick is to advocate for it.

"I wanted to work without being bothered, so I faked my death instead of just ignoring people." I was tired of being bothered so I did a lot of unnecessary work at expense to set up several awkward conversations and ruined relationships later. I think somebody reminded Batiuk this dude was dead and he's genuinely embarrassed and backpedaling.

Doomykins posted:"I wanted to work without being bothered, so I faked my death instead of just ignoring people." That would imply that Batiuk's comics can react to new information within less than a year. If he could feel shame about that kind of thing the multiple weeks of "post-pandemic" Funkys and Crankshafts wouldn't have run. He's just really this bad of a writer

“Machine politics” in the United States was pretty common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where urban areas were run by a political ‘machine’ - Tammany Hall in New York City, the Pendergast Machine in St. Louis, the Curley outfit in Boston, etc. “Machines” were notorious for doing all sorts of illegal-but-not-too-illegal things to stay in power, such as running people through polls multiple times, forging ballots, “finding” ballots after the election was over, etc. In Chicago, Bill Daley was mayor for most of the post WW2 period and one of the last big machine politicians known for winning close elections by all sorts of shenanigans. I couldn’t find specific examples of it happening, but the idea is that if you need a bunch of forged votes, what better place to find names to use than the local graveyard? Especially for those who had died recently, who knew if they actually cast a ballot or not? Again, this was pretty commonplace in most cities in the early 20th century, but because it went on longer in Chicago, and because a lot of stink was made in 1960 about how much Kennedy’s victory in Illinois hinges on Daley delivering not-perfectly-legal votes*, Chicago being the home of electoral corruption and where dead people “vote” is a pretty standard American trope, continuing up to even recent elections. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20161019/downtown/vote-rigged-elections-history-fraud-stolen-trump.amp *(Bobby Kennedy, who ran much of his brother’s campaign, definitely privately stated from the early part of the campaign that they would need Daley’s machine to make sure they won. Nixon considered challenging the Illinois results, but later said that “for the good of the country” he would let it go, but others who were close to him at the time said that no one in the Nixon campaign was sure how they could investigate Democratic vote-tampering in Illinois without a bunch of Republican vote-tampering also coming to light. skeleton warrior fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Jul 27, 2021 |
