“C’mon, guys, be fascist like us!”

The only good part of the Trump regime will be watching them infight as we all go up in flames.

Because they’re stupid too and he speaks at a third grade level way they understand.

I looked up the Dutch “kak” and that’s pretty funny. It means “bad” in Greek, but the Dutch meaning still works great - rule by the shittiest people.

under the right circumstances any one of us would stand over our enemy, covered in blood, breathing and smiling like a chimpanzee with the bloodied corpse of his former foraging mate at his feet.

“Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people… will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon.”

- Quark, Star Trek: Deep Space 9

“Kak” is from Greek. “Cac” is an alternate spelling coming from the same root via French, as in “cacophony” or

“I’m evil, but I’m not a monster.”

Idiocracy was less mean-spirited than reality, though. Sure, people were assholes, but they weren’t trying to eradicate trans people or immigrants.

Kinda confused by the ENT uniforms, since she said it hadn’t been updated since the 2260s, which is TOS era. Those uniforms were 100 years old even then!

bureaucracy is timeless

Ever seen the scene of The Place that Sends You Mad in Asterix?

Cyberpunk dystopias are depressing because we have all of the bad stuff (corporations running everything) and none of the cool stuff (cybernetic augments).

With any luck MAGAts will self-select in removing themselves like they did during COVID.

Same, does it go by another name or something?

I guess it’s easier to tell when someone has a physical injury, which probably removes some of the stigma around talking about it.

Yup, pretty much the premise of the comic. When someone has a visible injury, (most) people will show empathy and acknowledge it’s a problem. But an invisible ailment like depression? Meh, no big deal, get over it.

One of many futuristic “dystopias” that actually ended up being far too optimistic compared to reality.

“This plague…the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.”

“Why contain it? Let it spill over the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end they’ll beg us to save them.”

Reality: “In the end they’ll refuse to be vaccinated anyway.”
