I am happy I had a chance to interact directly, because you did touch on something in this comic that I appreciate and I know AI is a very long way from taking from us, which is that “flow of an experience” that comes with art. You feel a scene, a situation, an exchange or a mood, you have an internal experience born from your own imagination and you want to share that feeling. Keep doing that and you will easily compete with the “Greats.”

Keep at it, the next biggest thing you need is just consistency and patience. It can take a long time before enough people experience the world through your eyes that they start missing it and seeking it out.

Not enough people are calling him a grown, bald reincarnation of Elliot Rogers, he’s like a scarecrow built from the dead remains of the world’s weirdest incels.

Listen to a clip of Rogers talking in his car or some shit and then a clip of Miller screaming about migrants. It’s uncanny.

There are not NEARLY enough subtle, cerebral comics out there, this is giving me vibes like the few good ones like Bizarro or Perry Bible Fellowship, lean in harder, make art and stories for yourself, not public appeal, you will get a much more loyal following and make bigger waves. (I used to be a professional artist, I know the pains.)

Also, yeah there are AI all over reddit asking how to be human, asking the meaning of things like comics and memes, the whole “explain the joke” ring of subreddits exploded in volume since reddit announced that they were going to partner with Google and AI companies to use the platform as a training ground.

AI is going towards some strange directions and it’s going to be bigger and smarter than we expect. Eventually.

But it will be a long, long time before it starts making art like this, which gives a glimpse into an internal, personal idea or experience. Keep fighting the good fight.

I cannot keep up with this “Pizzagate” scandal, it keeps going off in weird directions and I feel like I missed a story piece.

Also, I love your art.

I will be there.

Good, we can focus efforts easier that way.

I got it immediately, I thought it was clever.

Don’t be discouraged by the minority of people and AI posing as people who have a hard time with subtlety.

He started wearing sweaters to look wholesome like Bill Cosby.

Irony runs thick in the non-fictional circus that is reality.

I rather see the Rainbow Coalition ride again, let’s take specific colors off the agenda.

Surely the FBI won’t sabotage them again this time around.

Surely.

Armed EVERYONE, panthers, housewives, mechanics, trans teens, latino families, truckers, the entire Village People stereotypical grouping, should be there armed and handing out cookies and coffee and making sure our communities are safe and that everyone, no matter their politics or identity or race or background has their say at the polls.

There are presently about 22,000 ICE agents. There will be somewhere around 100,000 polling stations in the US. Their math for “surrounding all polling stations” just isn’t working out.

The solution isn’t to just let them go around victimizing minorities, it’s to shut down any debate on the subject

This is literally what I’m saying, it was never an issue before someone jangled the keys in front of them. We have to stop the key jangling on all fronts, this includes stop getting baited to trying to fight something that average fatass midwest white trash don’t generally understand or care about. They push us to fight for issues that are over their head when we should be saying “Okay whatever, shut up about trans anything, where is your GODDAMN TAX MONEY GOING?” and teach them to focus, even a little.

I mean, raw milk would be perfectly safe to drink, if you were suckling it straight from an animal’s udder, but that seems to be frowned upon in polite society so instead we put it in bottles where contaminants can live and grow in the milk.

It’s going to get worse every day, and every day we’re all going to get used to sharing a country with a population who have been essentially lobotomized by capital until we give up fighting, because outside influences are oozing through our every media feed and atomized algorithm pushing whatever radical slop it can to make us all divided and dumber with no attention spans and crippling social anxiety so nobody is able to enforce the ONLY thing that keeps populations caring about reason and facts: social pressure.

Social pressure is the only thing that’s ever worked to make people want to be smarter and make right choices, and when you get rid of community, you get rid of people’s need to belong to a better tribe, so everyone retreats to their online, AI-nurtured spaces to be coddled and sold new products.

It’s wild that every time I say that pushing social equality pushes dumb americans away it’s INSTANTLY treated in bad-faith and like I want to “throw X under the bus”

Bro, we can have all the equality and social protections if we can just turn the right away from the oligarchy that is worming their tentacles into their discourse, they don’t care either way they’ve just been turned against these people because they’re adherent to a “side.” Break the “side” break the hate and xenophobia.

Focus on one issue that will wedge the base and the rest will crumble, but every time we try to force people to care about people they don’t care about, and make no mistake, they don’t just hate people different than themselves, they hate anyone who isn’t them or their immediate family, they double down harder because they are children. We have made negative progress trying to butt heads against them, and I’m quite sure that the left broadly doesn’t care and just wants to feel righteous for fighting a losing fight and doesn’t actually care about actual better outcomes for marginalized people. If they did, they would care a lot more about seizing power instead of being the most smug and inclusive people in line for the showers.

The last several federal elections have had the highest voter turnout in US history. Our problem isn’t laziness or lack of voters, our problem is the people who voted fucking hate democrats. They largely weren’t all MAGA turds, in fact if you actually read the exit polling many of the people who voted for Trump in 2024 were Obama voters or Bernie supporters.

They didn’t vote for Trump because they’re racist monsters, most of them voted for Trump because they’re dumb and they don’t watch the news and when they do they see Democrats acting like pathetic losers while corporations drive our prices up. Millions of people voted for Trump because bird flu had driven egg prices up, and they associated that with Biden and Harris.

Dems don’t want “more voter turnout” they want more of their own idiots and boomers to vote for the status-quo.

If we want to fix this situation with our only actual funded “opposition” party and have a chance of taking the country back for citizens we have to flush ALL incumbent representatives out of the legislative branch. We start this in the States. Each state is a nation, those states have great power. DNC is a container, we pour out the contents, replace it with something new and use that to reform the federal government.

They can’t sabotage every election, they can’t put fucking ICE agents around your local school board voting in new management, they can’t be in every town electing a mayor. This is why Mamdani and other progressives won powerful state positions recently. Don’t be apathetic, don’t burn out because the dems are weak and awful and fake, make new politics. Get involved in your community, go to progressive victory and volunteer to help actual progressive candidates and ignore the paid DNC shills.

Yah, I keep pounding this wardrum for unity and trying to explain how left and right basically want the same things but one side is made of blubbering toddlers who can’t disconnect emotion from policy.

But you can mobilize them, you can push them to be your useful tool. Why does only Steve Fucking Bannon get away with manipulating dumb people? I don’t get it.

Push free healthcare, push social safety nets, call it “tax refunded emergency financial care” or something so they nod in agreement instead of spit and rage about socialism. Push for social services and regulations on businesses that are ruining their communities, remind them they pay taxes and deserve something back for it. Stop finger-wagging about race and gender issues, THEY DO NOT CARE.

THEY ARE DUMB. Jesus christ why aren’t more people using that fact as a tool for good. Most progressives have succumbed to the feed and the algorithm of rage bait and hate and now just want revenge and vindication, even if it means the world burns. They are the same.

Hey Brits.

USA hostage here.

You are presently rolling your eyes at this manufactured outrage, hoping it will hurry up and just pass by already so people can get on with their lives, right?

We’ve been there. It’s not going to stop, it’s going to get worse. And worse.

This fascist, racist infection will turn into an even worse cancer over there because you have more than one nation around you with different looking and different sounding people who are going to start feeling more and more displacement from climate and geopolitics and who be seeking safety and survival.

You already have a surveillance state that beats us, you are losing rights and freedoms every day. You had the strongest alliances in the world, but between the Brexit fiasco and now the US’s oligarchs sabotaging NATO, you are losing your strongest source of capital, which was unity and international community strength. If Ukraine falls, you will have Russia on your doorstep controlling your gas and food.

You need to do what we failed to do early enough, which is reinforce local and domestic communities and see the threat for what it is, an active force of destruction that works in slow-motion and attacks you in your weak points, your forums and subreddits and your social media, your television stations and your news agencies.

You are in so much danger of escalating chaos it’s going to make the USA look sane and balanced.

I love the continued assumptions that I don’t know.

You’re absolutely right. I grew up around real preppers, cult compounds, the whole nine yards. 90% of those people are completely deluded into thinking they will suddenly plant green beans and tomatoes and be fine if the world ends.

They want change, they want the system to be “reset” so that they can find new advantages and new ways to live without feeling crushed by the complicated systems of a world shared with millions of people.

But unless you’re already successfully living off acres of land with animals and greenhouses you have no chance of suddenly becoming a survivor in a worst-case scenario.

But I don’t think it’s going to get that bad, short of something completely out of left-field like an asteroid impact or an AI driven plague, and in those cases, I think I would choose to go find a nice place for a final picnic instead of having any idea that I’ll suddenly start wearing spiked leather and drive around a charger on oddly-abandoned highways.

Meanwhile, we’ve seen social disruptions happen all over the world, over and over, and they rarely last more than days or weeks, and you can do a massive amount of good with modest preparation. Even better if you can talk to your neighbors and have a community.

We don’t survive alone. The worst lesson they’ve pumped into the developed world is the notion of the “rugged loner” being anything but a statistic. This is where the whole “penguin debate” started. But that’s a whole other topic.
