    reminder that stonetoss is an actual fucking nazi and should not be allowed in polite society.

    this is his normal shit at play, using people with coloured hair for opinions he disagrees with. this is a fucking “bootstraps” comment in 4-panel form.

      The one with the rope pulling is pretty funny

      E: “Opposites Attract” It’s not that serious but it is a pretty self aware bit of commentary on what FPTP polling does on consolidating voting blocs

        it is though because it implies the us libertarians aren’t usually fascist. this is not an fptp thing, it’s a censorship thing.

        all his shit works the same way, it’s colorful and simple and memetic and can be read one of two ways and it’s only when you see like 10 of them in a row that you realise his intended way of reading them.

    This doesn’t even make sense from this Nazi. Is he saying we need to work for less? That we shouldn’t even have the table scraps we get now?

    Typical douch Republican.

    This a typical “grindset” opinion and it is retarded. People deserve to get payed. The the owner class is allowed to undercut some people, who are used to even less, does not justify keeping wages low.

      I agree with what you’re saying, but starting off your argument with a slur undercuts the whole thing. You care about not taking advantage of immigrants, but are totally cool with punching down on people with disabilities?

    inb4 stonetoss is a Nazi

    Is this comic not reasonable? Immigrants are generally honest and hard-working, as well as more desperate and less secure (without safety networks), so they are willing to work for lower wages. The issue is that people are underpaid; businesses are subsidized by desperation. We need strong unions and we need to integrate immigrants into unions to strengthen labour’s power to demand fair recompense.

    That’s what I get from this comic… Is that not the intention?

      So I think you’re generally correct about that statement: “illegal” (insert word of choice here) immigrants tend to be willing to work for cheaper for a variety of reasons, including being more desperate, not necessarily needing to pay taxes from cash gigs, etc. As with everything, however, what you do with that and how you frame it is as important as getting the correct information in the first place.

      Knowing Stonetoss he’s certainly using it as a reason the US should use military force to abuse those committing non-criminal immigration violations and to militarized their border. So, despite there being some level of truth to the root facts being discussed, I dislike the comic.

      If this fact were used to argue for legalizing many immigration pathways to prevent the exploitation of desperate laborers, I’d feel differently. Fuck Stonetoss though.

      I interpreted this comic as the tosser saying that America doesn’t need immigrant labour, and that Americans should accept that they should be working those shitty jobs under shitty conditions for shitty pay

      Edit: felt I should say that I don’t agree with this view, stonetoss is a chud weirdo

      “nobody wants to work anymore and that’s why the immigrants are taking over”
