So these comments are mine but if you go to the site the artist comments on the strip. Not all the time but definitely more frequently in the last few years over early on. This is sorta a common shtick I see where the progressive ideals are secretly for personal greedy reasons. I always love it. It is funny because I do see progressive causes from a greedy perspective. I would like all the people I interact with as I move through society to be educated and healthy. I like public spaces. I like well maintained infrastructure. and I'm not afraid to pay taxes for it, provided taxes are collected progressively. People should be able to make a decent wage.

Well. That’s one way to announce you don’t know any liberals. None of the ones I know are worried about getting late packages due to these strikes, but then most all of them try to support non-shitty businesses anyway.

Or maybe you just can’t lump everyone together in neat little groups.

Some liberals are just more pedantic than others. Most of them are not like that and any time I see them crop up in chats I’m part of, they get scolded by basically everyone. They are the rare ultralibs that have a high level of entitlement.

"My liberal friends aren't like this, therefore no liberals are"

You understand the person they were replying to used their own anecdotal observation to characterize liberals in general, right? They were providing counterexamples.
