[yellow, a finger up, looking smug]
The answer to oppression is NEVER violence
Turn the other cheek
Pacifism always wins
You could earn rights by asking nicely instead

[yellow, proudly showing us a huge book]
Don’t believe me?
Open a history book!

[yellow, looking frustrated as they are shuffling through the book’s pages]
Ok so…
Uhm…
Not this page…
Wait…
The next one…
Awkward…
Another…
Yeah but…
For sure this time…

[yellow, sweating, protecting their book, a hand raised towards us]
Can you stop looking?
You’re being rude
That’s my book

    Public Education in the US LOVES Martin Luther King Jr.

    Barely ever any mention of Malcom X.

    I hold that nobody would’ve listened to MLK if the alternative wasn’t Malcom’s approach.

      The Black Panthers did more to advance gun control laws than any “radical left hippie kumbaya” ever did. Let minorities have the same freedoms and suddenly things need to be toned down for everybody.

      Ever heard of the HSRA? Anushilan Samiti? The post-WW2 mutinies? All the other sources of pressure by indian nationalists and independence fighters that allowed Gandhi to exist as a credible threat while staying peaceful?

    This is a pretty terrible extrapolation of a prior meme…

    “Original content” that somehow both isn’t original and is worse than the original.

      Pretty much everything I draw is observational satire, so the odds someone else has already drawn something on the same topic are pretty high yes. Comics communities are full of accidentally (or not so accidentally) derivative content. It’s the nature of the medium.

    When the AI drones are ready to clear Russian trenches, violence won’t be an option anymore. It’s important to find good arguments and ways to convince peacefully.

      Sure it is.

      I mean hell, you just might become the first people on history to win their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of their oppressors. But I’m betting on plenty of violence being the only practicable alternative to the ruling class shuffling is right past serfdom and into actual slavery.

        My point is that the population can’t win against killer drones. If the drones are good enough to kill the Russian army then they are good enough to kill western civilians.
