A revolution is more than the destruction of a political system. It implies the awakening of human intelligence, the increasing of the inventive spirit tenfold, a hundredfold; it is the dawn of a new science - the science of men like Laplace, Lamarck, Lavoisier. It is a revolution in the minds of men, more than in their institutions.

Crime is out of control and keeps getting worse
Men are natural leaders, women's nature is to nurture
Billionaires create jobs
Poor people just keep making bad decisions in life
Migrants are taking our jobs
Socialism is when we all share the same paycheck
If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear
If minimum wages go up, everyone will get fired, it's math
We brought modernity to the countries we colonized
The wage gap is a myth you're just looking at it wrong
Immigration mathematically causes crime
Developing countries are poor because of corruption
We are the good guys
If workers were worth more, they would be paid more
Universal healthcare is communism

This comic is sponsored by the Anti Irony Club.
We take irony very seriously. If exposed to irony, immediately quarantine yourself and consume only sincere media until symptoms subside. Side effects of prolonged ironic exposure include accidentally cultivating the exact audience you claimed to be mocking, saying "based" unironically, and waking up one day to discover your community is now 95% composed of the people you insisted it was making fun of.
If you or a loved one has accidentally founded an ironic community, remain calm. Seek immediate assistance from your nearest licensed grass toucher and begin a strict twelve week rehabilitation program consisting of sane hobbies, sunlight exposure, and conversations that aren't buried under multiple layers of snark.
Together, we can build a blander tomorrow.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6grcowmlcu5fcgepz45u6uke/bafkreiak2f47eaoy5b3en37nxm52f7tgllnjsmzbusthj4l3v3fnqfyixy)
