#comic #cartoon #journalism #academia #ethics #socialmedia

In America we make it EASY TO DO THE WRONG THING, HARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING EASY TO ORDER ONLINE FROM AN OLIGARCH-OWNED, MONOPOLISTIC, UNION-BUSTING CORPORATION CLICK! DING! HARDER TO SHOP LOCALLY AND SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY Ye Olde Independent Shoppe EASY FOR COLLEGES TO CAVE TO DEMANDS OF DICTATORS PLEASE TAKE OUR MONEY AND BASIC VALUES! HARDER FOR SCHOOLS TO STAND UP FOR ACADEMIC FREEDOM WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING A UNIVERSITY IF WE AREN'T FREE TO FOLLOW KNOWLEDGE AND EVIDENCE WHERE THEY LEAD? EASY FOR MEDIA OUTLETS TO PROFIT OFF CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND INFLAMMATORY FALSE NARRATIVES UP NEXT: IS YOUR NEIGHBOR A DEMOCRAT TERRORIST TRYING TO KILL YOU? HARDER TO SUSTAIN SERIOUS JOURNALISM THAT SHEDS LIGHT ON DIFFICULT TRUTHS AND NOW A SPECIAL REPORT ON CORRUPTION. SORRY, WE'RE REPLACING YOU WITH AI. EASY TO STAY ON SOCIAL NETWORKS RUN ВY ANTIDEMOCRATIC ACTIVISTS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE ON HERE, IT MUST BE OKAY! HARDER TO SWITCH TO AN INDEPENDENT ALTERNATIVE* HMM... A SMALLER AUDIENCE, BUT LESS DISINFO AND NOT AS HITLERY! *BUT NOT ACTUALLY THAT HARD!

this is what happens when you build a nation on the ideals of a buncha rich, white, slave-owning men who didn't like paying too many taxes

(and after so, so many years of treating the constitution as a 'living document,' decide to adhere most strongly to one of their values - owning guns)

UGH

great comic, as usual 😊

I'll confess that one of my first thoughts was, "Not that hard... for some people.", because of things like accessibility and flexibility for marginalized groups. At the same time, I don't want to downplay how important it Definitely is for us all to be looking out for opportunities for change when and where we can. If we could all do everything it would be wondrous indeed. I just hope people are encouraged to do what they can, when and where, even outside perfection ;) .

Humbly, it may perhaps be apt to replace "even when" with "especially when" in this meme.👇
#mastotruth
A meme of Snoopy with the message: "Do the right thing, even when no one is watching. It's called integrity." Integrity - this seems to be critically needed in the "Unravelling" States of America.

The last frame would be a great official cartoon for Mastodon. 😉💡

you're so right. It's extremely difficult to find USA made products or even North America/Mexico made products, but I thought it was important for me to put my money where my mouth is too. I get all my jeans from Dearborn Denim, and I very happy with my boots and sneakers from Thursday Boots.

Those are all individual actions.

The ethical AND convenient choioce to do is to organize and change the system to the ground.
Everyone benefit from that (well, except maybe the 1% but fuck them)

"not as Hitlery" seems like a metric that is both Excellent and 'Sad That We Need It'.
