Marxist?
The right likes to refer to "wokeness" as "cultural Marxism" now.
The word Marxism has historically been demonized by Red Scare propaganda, so the right likes to use the word to refer to anything that they don't like, like a Boogeyman of sorts.
"Cultural Marxism" is a specific reference to the Nazi term "Cultural Bolshevism" btw
Some one should turn this whole thing into the skeletor meme format
Did he just assault Conan O'Brien?!
Haha yes! Its gotta be that long nose and smirky expression
Such an educator.
Anyone have a link to a compilation?
Here's a website that appears to have all of them:

And here's an old book with the collection from Michigan State University:
Thank you!
Edit: well, after a quick Look through of Mr. Everett True it appears the OP comic is one of the few supporting a more legit view. Otherwise he’s just a selfish and violent jerk with no tact or desire to be publicly tolerant of things everyone does to get along in society. He doesn’t mind cracking skulls over irritations. All couched in the premise of “that’s how we all really feel” to make it OK. He’s into shaming and beating kids, throwing women into prison for whatever irritation their kid generates, etc.
Yeah, this was indeed one of the only good ones.
The rest is just complaining about anything.
Ooooh there's a bunch from this series. Thanks!
There really is so much. According to wikipedia, it ran for 20 years until 1927, then was basically forgotten until some paper started reprinting them in the 1980s.
I'm trying to spread them out as best as I can.
I see there's a few books. Both older, scanned, archived online and new from Amazon.
I've seen restreams for Bloom County and Calvin and Hobbes, I wonder if anyone's doing Pogo yet. I wonder if I could set that up with minimum required maintenance...
yeah, chicks hate that.
If I've told them once, I've told them a thousand times.
Never call chicks broads.
The lesson I've learned is keep out True's reach
Good start.
Now learn that there are people who don't even like the word "lady" because of its etymological origin.
The "l" and "a" are effectively those of the word "loaf", and the "-dy" comes from a word meaning "dough-worker". That is, "lady" is the title for someone who makes the bread. The one who does the cooking. The one whose place is in the kitchen.
The person who taught me this was fine with the descriptor "woman" on account of "man" being the species first. They considered later male-specific interpretations to be irrelevant.
Edit: Now are the downvotes because they don't agree with this argument, or because I chose this place and time to bring this up. Hmm.
Objecting to a word because of its origins 800 years ago is ridiculous. If people want to object to words based on possibly offensive origins, they'll have to throw out an awful lot of them!
As a side note, "lord" originates from the Old English words for "loaf ward", or keeper of the bread. Interesting!
it used to be woman and werman and then the wer got dropped in modern English
wif(e)man and wer(e)man technically, but yeah.
thank you. I should've looked it up, I was just going off top of head
THERE man
You know, taking a 30 second look at the wiktionary page for 'lady' would have given you the proper etymological evolution of 'lady' and you still would have been correct about the meaning of the word that it originally evolved from. Either way, language grows and evolves. Meanings change. To judge a modern word off of its archaic origins is asinine.
At no point did I say I held the opinion myself. The specific person I knew who held it would have been equally charitable about yours.
Hmm
Etymology isn't relevant to how a word is used now. I can guarantee you that nobody hears the word "lady" and thinks "They just called me a bread-maker! How rude!"
People really used to brawl back in the day, fr fr.
Broads and dames.
To boost attendance at games in Ebbets Field back in the 1940s, the Brooklyn Dodgers started with the "Ladies Night" concept, and supposedly things got rowdier and louder - by a long shot - on those occasions than on any other, regular ol' night.
