“The only people who disagree with me are neoliberals and fascists”, cried the Dingdong. It does not, of course, perceive that the only matching call in the forest is that of its greatest competitor species, the lowly maggat, with its cries of “The only people who disagree with me are commies and socialists”

Ooh, ooh, can I get a block?! Pick me! Pick me!

If they want to track you on a mobile app, they can provide you with a work phone. They probably can’t force you to use your personal device. I just tell them that my phone can’t install apps (because I’ve lobotomised it). They’ve worked around me.

Yep, and they don’t tend to be addicted to any substances or gambling. There are many reasons. The point being that, for one reason or another, many of the intelligence services and highest-clearance positions are filled with Mormons, and the government just told them that they aren’t part of the club anymore.

Religious zealots are not exactly known for their reading comprehension when it comes to their holy texts.

Did you know that Mormons are actually preferentially given security clearances, since the United States Constitution is one of the foundational documents of their faith? Do you realize how many people with positions near nuclear sites, NSA datacenters, and CIA operations these bumblefucks are aggravating?

To explain what I see:

This comic isn’t saying (or even implying) that people are born communist, at all. The comic isn’t even implying that communism is necessarily a good thing. It’s saying that the random person clearly thinks that it should be morally acceptable not to love people who express or possess certain traits, while the messiah gave no such qualification. If your god says “love everybody”, you don’t get to say “but these people worship a different God, so I should get to hate them!”

Love everybody.

The comic makes clear that you can’t just claim to be a Christian, then reject one of the few things about which Christ was unequivocal. The ultimate point here is that most modern Christians do not follow the teachings of Jesus. That communism is mentioned is simply because it is a common scapegoat among american conservatives, who overwhelmingly identify as Christians. There has never been a significant communist presence in the united states, but that didn’t stop McCarthy from turning people against their neighbours in snipe hunts for the “reds”.
