If there isn't at least some non-zero amount of tin-snips and turpentine, then the protest is a parade.

Coincidentally, Lowes is having a black friday on tin snips: https://www.lowes.com/pl/hand-tools/cutting-crimping-tools/tin-snips/on-sale/4294857583-2

Turpentine I can understand having for various reasons (lighting shit on fire, removing paint/ink/pepperspray), but what is the need for tin snips? cutting the zip-tie handcuffs used by riot police?

I think they're for performing the vasectomies as alluded to in the second panel. I assumed the turps is for make-shift antiseptic.

Yeah, I would think bolt cutters would be more useful.

Nah but rubber bands are effective

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

We did to cattle growing up.

Their nuts just fall off.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, meanwhile I've used bolt cutters more than most people (anarchism got me doing bicycle repair and salvaging which involves them front time to time), and they work by leveraging the stiffness. They aren't actually sharp, they're just dull scissors with a fuck ton of leverage

I wouldn't mind some tin snips and turpentine

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Whats so confusing is how conservatives can say "don't tread on me" then vote to ban abortion
or "join or die" then say 'violence is never the answer'

I just want that snake. Is that some iconography I've missed? I have the rainbow gadsen on my range bag I want that one as well.

It's amazing how many Gadsden flags are next to Thin Blue Line flags.

"Don't tread on me, unless you're in the group of people who can kill citizens with impunity, then you do what you want because I've no critical thinking skills."

I don't get it. This guy was shooting doctors? Why? Is there a second page to the comic?

The Devils Panties tends to use that character to depict an amalgamation of Gamergate, Rapist Brock Allen Turner, Kyle Rittenhouse, and every online debatebro combined, and so the other characters are written to react to him in such a way.

Why does she want to go and litter in Texas?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

shithole state with shithole laws and shithole lawmakers. what's confusing?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I just moved here and you're not wrong. All the roads are fucked up, even in the suburbs. Everything just feels cheaper than Virginia.

The license plates aren't even stamped, just a coat of paint lol. Major roads are just filled with potholes forever.

Went to a shooting range and they got mad at me for shooting too fast. Like what is the benefit of being here??? I thought you guys were free?

I just moved here for cost of living but partially regretting it

Ok, so what's with the turpentine?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Burning shit down to the ground. There have been many attacks on abortion clinics that included attempts and/or successful burning.

Can we talk about how the amount of anti abortion women and anti abortion men is about equal?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (11 children)

Sure, that doesn't seem to be true?

Gallup found the following:

  • Pro-life: Men 49%, Women 33%
  • Pro-choice: Men 45%, Women 63%

Women are also more in favour of less restrictions on abortion (e.g. from X weeks) than men.

Check the skin tone and age cohort. You're going to find some large discrepancies. Also skews heavily by education, as women early in their collegiate or professional careers tend to be significantly more sensitive about the prospect of getting pregnant than peers in low-paying jobs with little upward mobility.

There's definitely a profile of a pro-abortion and anti-abortion voter.

A man is being a bit sarcastic and the angry feminist protester is threatening to mutilate his genitals?

No wonder Trump and Abbott won.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, it's not cool to threaten someone's genitals and remove their agency in what happens to them. Congratulations, you are currently standing on The Point.

cant you read the content?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

If this person got educated in Texas, very possibly they cannot.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

If you think it's just one man being a little sarcastic then you need to open your eyes to the stripping of bodily autonomy going on all over the place.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

Hmm yeah it’s almost like we shouldn’t tell a person what to be doing with their body…. Wooosh

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That isn't a man, it's a conservative. Less than a bug.
