To nitpick, all the colonies had slavery to one degree during the Revolution though in the New England ones it was in clear decline. Only the independent Vermont Republic abolished it entirely during the war, in its 1777 constitution.

I mean this whole discussion started with me being needlessly pedantic so feel free to nitpick.

All symbols of USA (before USA becomes fully woke, perhaps) are intrinsically racist. The Gadsden flag is less racist than some but more racist than some others (such as symbols that were not created by slave owners).

This is very funny for basically all the reasons you already enunciated but i just can't stop staring. What do you mean "look at them they're all military-aged males", none of them are remotely recognizable for sex or gender or even age, so the dumb woke leftist is 100% correct, you don't know their gender! The only human adjacent ones he drew are the loving Zod trio from Superman, and one of them is a woman!

I'm not sure he's that smart, because most of the format is "hey, remember this Gen-X nostalgia, anyway the punchline is that today's crazy conspiracy theory is true" which itself is a deflection that he never tells us what he wants instead of all this stuff (fascism).

"Hey, remember 8-bit Nintendo? Anyway David Icke is right and just like Super Mario we have been taken over by reptiles!"

So when he gets bits of the lore wrong that actively harm his hateful message, like in

where in attempting to be anti-migrant and anti-trans at the same time, he runs head first into a key part of the Alien story, that we don't know their sex or gender, and Giger wanted it that way to make them seem more Alien, it only turns whatever point he was trying to make into a farce.

So Tats has managed to ruin both the hateful parts of the message and give the soy caricature a valid point. 10/10 Tats.

Aren't they like social insects? 99% of them are sterile worker drones.

It started off as that, then it picked up circulation in the British tabloids with "small boats week" and all that poo poo, and now it's fully within the sphere of outright racist groups as a tag-along with the Great Replacement, and also the most tinfoil hat "Serco* is training a parallel army of migrants to train up on home soil to stage an invasion from within" nonsense, which is of course how Tats knows it.

*Serco is bad, but because they run private for-profit prisons and refugee camps and treat their bottom rung staff like garbage, not because they've been hired by the Rothchild 300 Group to build a shadow parallel army in secret.

there was always the implication that any of them not in a colony could become fertile, and a lot of the horror was based on Giger getting into the bizarre lifecycles of deep sea parasitic crustaceans and Scott working that into the atmosphere, a huge part of the original horror came from the protagonists being unwilling parts of the lifecycle of this thing and not even knowing how any of that works.

ofc Tats can always just tell by looking :eng99:

My thought was an insurance policy against impeachment, but the donkey has 2024 on his paper so maybe Lester thinks the VP becomes the party candidate automatically if the President resigns?

Actually, what does happen if a candidate wins the nomination but dies or is incapacitated before the general election. I think in that case the party decides and the VP would probably be the presumptive choice, but I'm not 100% sure.

This implies that Lester thinks the Dems are planning to kill Biden after he gets the nomination, which would be a new conspiracy theory I haven't seen before.

Spoiler alert: the unarmed man will not be harmed and the armed one will not fire his weapon at any point.



As has been pointed out in the thread already, the soyboy is 100% correct here and the redneck is wrong. Like, this is basic, basic poo poo.



Further spoiler alert: this character will also not be harmed.



It's pretty goddamned weird that someone named Tatsuya Ishida is suddenly going full-on Great Replacement Theory.



Sinfest: it's like a right-wing fever dream.



Brief detour from the metaphor in which immigrants are aliens to a metaphor in which they are vampires.



Okay, so the aliens are scary-looking... but ultimately they just want to have kids and jobs and slouch around in casual clothes. The handmaidens with face-huggers aren't great, but they don't seem to be particularly distressed by it. So, according to Tats here, the frightening aliens are ultimately harmless.

It's an Asay moment for sure. To you, aliens walking their kids and getting jobs and wearing human clothes and assimilating looks harmless.

To a Nazi the "harm" is immediately apparent: the aliens are replacing us with babies that look different and even interbreeding with us and diluting the purity of our bloodlines.

Yeah this is just White-Slave Traffic Act poo poo, if a white woman is in a relationship with an 'alien' it must have been nonconsensual and she will have horrific babies.

It's weirder and grosser that he chose this ending instead of doing the secret Serco shadow army.

Also aliens running the World Economic Forum is definite lizard people poo poo.

Yeah, the handmaidens with face huggers is just great replacement non-sense and the jobs all the evil alien invaders get are positions of power at all levels of society. It’s literally “The immigrants are gonna take over our country and then breed with the white women to destroy white people!”

The food cart one I can’t tell if it’s just bad art or if it’s supposed to be maggots being added to a hotdog, so we might also have the bonus racism of “The immigrants eat disgusting things and they’re infecting our normal food with it!”

Ah yes, those leftists, always saying "I'm in favor of immigration but these guys are 'scary looking' so now I believe nazi conspiracy theories". Really shooting themselves in the foot if you ask me!
The point's been made already but this entire arc is just "but... LOOK at them!!!! they're scary looking!!" and no actual violence or even threat is happening.

And then we just see them peacefully integrated and participating in local culture, starting small businesses... oh the horror.
