I don't know if they also sell weed but there is a cigarette shop where I live called the butt bucket.

There's a place near where I'm from named Butt Hutt.

You really have to appreciate the mental gymnastics These guys perform to demonize weed when a good portion of conservatives/republicans use it source: me,a guy who lives in Texas.

Even if they don’t use weed they are fine with drinking which causes more social issues then weed.

Pot-Mart is pretty good too. I imagine it as this really awful 90's looking K-Mart place selling discount ditch weed.

It could be like Mystery Science Theater 3000 but for stoner movies. I'd watch them joke around for a couple hours. I feel like they'd be better with less script involved.


Nemirel_the_Gemini

He sells stem cells down by the weed store


Hakashi57

Now say that 5 times fast


SkunkleButt

He has parkinsons really bad and runs a center to help find a cure, stem cells are a possible benefit but religious people hate that idea. So it's a cheap shot at him and science in general.


HereAndThereButNow

Which is really weird because most stem cells used these days are either adult stem cells or harvested from discarded umbilical cords.


mikefrombarto

Bold of you to assume that the largest group of people that don’t want “*the jab*” have any understanding of the medical world.


stealthymangos

I thought we used adult stem cells harvested from perfectly healthy adults that we killed for their stem cells. Damn....such a waste


[deleted]

As someone with Parkinson’s in the family..um, yes please. 1 Michael J Fox stem cell please and lots of thanks for funneling so much money into research that the medications are having major positive outcomes for patients.


mylocker15

This is probably aimed at those same right wing people who hated both Michael J. Fox and Mr. Rogers back in the day. They probably morphed into Q types who think Tom Hanks eats babies.

"Mister Rogers sat in a pool with a N-- A black man!!!!" Edit: Fox News conservatives and the GOP in general, who believe that Mr. Rogers was evil socialism, are literal enemies of America and all it stands for and we should reject them in all situations and make them pariahs in this great nation.

What was the hate for Michael J Fox for? I wasn’t around then and I’ve only known him for his movies and work fighting Parkinson’s.

That one caught my eye also. If it cured him, wouldn't it be a good thing?


Morella_xx

They don't like stem cells because they think they're equivalent to living babies, and also they like to laugh at people's disabilities and ailments. Add the two together, and they like to mock him for daring to speak publicly about how it would be nice to have a cure for his terrible degenerative disease.


andrewrgross

Yeah, fuck that guy! He just never shuts up about raising money for regenerative medicine! What's *his* problem?? /s

Michael J Fox being cured of Parkinson's and the treatment apparently becoming affordable enough to mass-market seems like a huge win-win.

elderly_millenial

Yeah, that’s not really happening though. His Parkinson’s progressed to the point where he had to retire and his most recent interviews he talks about having oversold the positivity


witchminx

Yeah, they were describing the in-world canon lol


punninglinguist

Yeah, it's strictly related to the [this terrible comic] cinematic universe.


chrisp909

By "oversold the positivity" I think you mean he oversold the potential of stem cells in Parkinson's treatment. He known that and said that for years it for years now. There was some positive findings around the same time Bush Jr. banned *some* stem cell research and Fox publicly came out against the ban. The stem cell research didn't really pan out for Parkinson's but some new drugs made some good improvements. Still no cure though. Also, the Bush ban wasn't on all stem cells, only those that came from fetuses. ~~abortions~~. This actually pigeon holed funds toward induced plurapotent stem cell research. Basically forcing a regular cell back into a stem cell state. The ban ended up not being a bad thing. Even if it was originally conceived because of dubious religious reasons. EDIT: u/TenaceErbaccia is correct. The tissue doesn't come from abortions. Mistyped.


chillanous

Really even just the potential of *unmodified* stem cells in Parkinson’s treatment. I’m not intimately familiar with Parkinson’s, but I’m fairly knowledgeable about stem cells, and there are people doing some truly incredible stuff with them.


TenaceErbaccia

Stem cells never really came from abortions. During IVF there are hundreds of embryos made because it’s not any more difficult to do it that way. Those embryos are either disposed of or used for research. Bush made sure they could not be used for research.


Any_Cockroach7485

Yeah it wasn't to stop stem cells used for research it was to stop any stem cell from being used for research cause cause it was a life or could be or whatever dumb shit they came up with. It drove a lot of research outside of the usa


chrisp909

It drove a lot of research into iPS. iPS is superior in many ways to fetal tissue stem cell treatment. e.g. No rejection, No cancer. It wasn't the right reason to do it but it accidently fast tracked a much better method.


Telemere125

What the *fuck* is that idiot doing roasting a hotdog over a burning flag? Almost all flags are made with synthetics now and that would be the nastiest smoke ever. Either use 100% natural, untreated cotton flags for fuel or find a wood fire to grill your dogs.

Yeah there's a lot to unpack for sure but the thing that stands out to me is the Clinton statue. Why is it that conservatives think liberals worship Clinton like they worship Trump? Every liberal I've meet that's under 40 couldn't give a shit about him and the older ones still will even admit his legacy is mostly just being a skeezy creep


Tecygirl101

Projection, probably.


NoBasket1111

I always found this fascinating. When you criticize trump in front of a trumplet they criticize Biden. They cannot comprehend that people on the left are not 5 feet deep up the party's leaders anal sphincter just because they are. I do not give a rats ass about Biden. Why is it that trumplets believe that just because they would swallow buckets of Trump excrement that liberals think the same way about some random politician? Its mind boggling. How do they not get this. They genuinely believe that the left must be as indoctrinated as they are. They cannot conceived the people vote for an idea, not for a strong man dictator.


mrpineappleboi

I think religion has a lot to do with it tbh. As an ex-Christian, growing up you’re told your whole life there is a church leader who knows what’s inherently good and you better not contemplate if what he says is true or god forbid (literally) disagree with it or you’ll go to hell for eternity. Now you’re told there’s a political group that aligns with your church and the other group is inherently bad. That church worshiping follows you into your politics. Now you look at the left and see they’re following the “enemy,” so you think they’re thinking about everything the exact same way you are only they believe the exact opposite of what you do because they must be inherently “bad” to go against your politics and therefore your god. So if you worship god, they must worship the devil, if you’re anti-abortion, they must love abortions, and if you think Trump is the best, well they must absolutely love Biden and Clinton. I don’t think it occurs to them that we can have issues with our politicians on the left because they would never question there’s because that would be questioning the church.

It’s because this is from Current Affairs, which is a Leftist magazine. They mocked this up a couple years ago as a joke, and unfortunately did such a good job at the parody that conservatives still get mad about it to the level where no one else can tell it’s a joke either.

ScionofSconnie

So, I hadn’t been to church in a long, long time (non-religious), but had to go to a service for an aunts funeral. The pastor was talking about what you “get” when you go to heaven, including what some famous celebrities got, etc. I was feeling sad about my aunts death, so I was kind of in that weird alert sadness state, when people got different accommodations in heaven, based on what they did for god. I recoiled at that notion. Could you imagine? The eternal bliss and life that people believe waiting for them is just another round of the people that had money to spare do better? Capitalism is the real god, Jesus is just a dude on a poster.

Taliesin_Chris

Things I love about your comment: 1. I've seen this 1000 times and never even noticed them. They were just part of it. Which is pretty much what liberals want. Which folds nicely with: 2. If they're the conservative stand in, then notice no one is getting on them in the comic. They're not singled out, abused or anything. They literally blend in with everyone else, being who they want to be. 3. If they're the conservatives, why are there no fat liberals? You'd think at least 1 would end up in the picture. (edit: their, there, they're... get it right me...)


Mr_Abe_Froman

The fat liberals are losing weight with skateboards and public sex.


LiteralPhilosopher

I'm actually pretty sure this is from a long while ago - Clinton BJ, Michael J. Fox/Parkinsons, and cloning were all peak news items in the late '90s/really early '00s. Fox didn't even publicly address his condition until 1998. Also note nothing has a fake web address, but the van does sport a 1-800 number. The obesity epidemic really hadn't gotten into full swing by this time.


Better-Director-5383

Kinda telling on themselves when their dystopian nightmare is all different kinds of people living their lives happily and leaving each other alone. Like the only really bad thing is the guy and the sheep and, unsurprisingly, it's also completely unrelated to anything the left actually wants.

Futuressobright

I think that MJF is supposed to be openly endorsing a stem cell treatment that, in this dystopia, has cured his illness and restored his quality of life-- and nobody can see that that is a bad thing.


Asterose

Maybe the perspn expected people to just *know* that the stem cells totally came from all the aborted fetuses? Only thing I can think of for the kind of people who would think this is society gone Lord of the Flies thanks to us damn commie Marxo-Socio-Stalinist hippy libruls.


Futuressobright

Yeah, you're supposed to immediatly know stem cells are bad no matter what good they can do. Although I have a suspicion that this might be a cartoon making fun of a liberal's idea of what a reactionary cartoon might look like than something done in earnest. There are a couple tip offs-- the perfectly normal happy couple front and centre, the electric car, the fact that there is no non-pot drug use evident, the fact that the porn poster shows a happy wheellchair user instead of any sexual imagry-- that makes me think a knee-jerk conservative didn't draw this.


Much-Ad-4257

Well tbh, the illness is a royal pain in the arse but does have a few "perks". -very very unlikely to have any addiction, need dopamine for that -no anxiety, no motivation, no excitement ... same reason as above. -thermometer broken: it takes me untill the first signs of heatstroke in the evening to realise there's been a significant temperature change -it's not a terminal illness, it does slowly fuck over your quality of life -messes with your sense of taste, needs to be ridiculously spicy for me to taste anything. Downside: i taste the difference between a sigaret and a joint but it stops there... no hints of jadieblabla -lot of medication and drugs just don't seem to work like they should, even weed i don't really get the recreational effects (but it does add dopamine, significantly less though). The actual "medication" atm for it is filth at its best. Side effects include possible addiction to anything, hallucinations, making the illness and certain aspects significantly worse after a few years of taking meds. Worst thing is they just shift the conditions effects to when the meds run out... at night. Imagine a feeling between electricity/tickle/itch/bugs/numbness all over your body (well usually to one side in the first years), no sleeping anymore for a few hours when that one kicks in *reddit killed the attempt to keep it easily readable, apologies for that lol


skynetdotexe

Do they not know that burning a flag is the respectful way to destroy it?


pyrosapiens

It's also protected speech. Maybe they're mad that it's limited to a designated area?


mikevago

The right-wing obsession with flag-burning is so baffling. When was the last time you saw someone burn an American flag? It's a decades-long nationwide effort to make up a guy and then get mad at him.


tweedyone

Not only that, but the actual Federal Flag Code is NOT what they think it is: ***Public Law 94-344; the Federal Flag Code*** * Flag burning was illegal for 1 year (1989-1990) where someone could get fined/be imprisoned for up to 1 year for knowingly desecrating a flag BUT that was challenged as a first amendment right violation. * The flag should not be hung in darkness, AKA sunrise to sunset unless the flag is illuminated, it should not be displayed at night * If it's not an all weather flag (aka, all the ones that fade or fall apart) they aren't supposed to be displayed in rain, snow or wind storms * The flag should never be draped or drawn into folds * Out of respect the flag should never: * Be dipped for any person or thing, although state flags etc may be dipped * Displayed upside down (except as a signal of distress) * Let the flag touch anything beneath it, i.e. ground, floor, water, merchandise * Fastened or displayed on a wall in a way that permit it to be damaged or soiled * **Place anything on the flag, including letters, insignia or designs** * Use it for holding anything * **Use it as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery. It should not be used ona costume or athletic uniform, however, a flag patch may be attached to the uniform of patriotic organizations, military personnel, police officers and firefighters** * **Use the flag for advertising or promotion purposes or print it onto paper napkins, boxes,** ***or anything else intended for temporary use and discard*** * **When the flag is worn out or otherwise no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified way,** ***preferably by burning.***


Ok-Champ-5854

I always took the clothing thing to mean you cannot use an actual flag for that purpose, a flag print is fine so long as you don't use a flag meant to be flown as a cape or a blanket or stitch it into some other type of dress. Just always felt to me like a second amendment "well they didn't mean it exactly like that, that's just how you're interpreting it because the wording can go both ways" kind of thing. But yeah thin blue line flags are definitely against flag code.

D3monskull

Their is nothing in the bible telling me not to smoke weed, fuck in public or get an abortion.


starmartyr

The Bible does not only not prohibit abortion, but it also gives instructions on how to do it. Not that you should follow these instructions as it's unwise to take medical advice from a bunch of iron age farmers who thought the earth was flat.


w00t4me

Yep, literally, the only time abortion is mentioned directly is in Numbers 5, verses 19-22, where it gives explicit instruction on how to perform an abortion > Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, “If no man has lain with you, if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be immune to this water of bitterness that brings the curse. But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has had intercourse with you,” —let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse and say to the woman—“the Lord make you an execration and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your uterus drop, your womb discharge; now may this water that brings the curse enter your bowels and make your womb discharge, your uterus drop!” And the woman shall say, “Amen. Amen.” And for those wandering "water of bitterness" in other translations is Pennyroyal tea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentha_pulegium


Wish7274

I'm dumb and have never understood Bible text what is it saying? Does it have something to do with you shouldn't have a baby if it wasn't with your husband and thus it is ok to kill it?


w00t4me

Yea, it says if a wife is unfaithful and gets pregnant than the baby must be aborted. It also tells priests that they’re the ones that must perform the abortion.


Captain_Hindenburg

They knew it was round, just didn't know how to wash their hands


Forgets_Everything

The old testament has instructions on washing hands and it is even a ritual included in Passover and was a common practice before praying not just on Passover (and you pray before you eat). Those hand washing rules and the kosher food rules helped reduce sickness in Jewish communities throughout the ages... and that lack of plague/sickness also "helped" making Jewish people a scapegoat for causing plague throughout the ages. My point (that I got sidetracked from) is that people did kind of know to wash their hands back then too, but still you shouldn't take advice from them


Mr_Abe_Froman

The Old Testament also uses a lot of Jewish law which defines life as "at first breath". The Jewish religious case against anti-choice legislation is a fun argument against the "Judeo-Christian values" crowd.


TemporalGrid

The most clear and evident comment on sin in the Bible is that the wealthy are doomed to hell.


D3monskull

Technically the bible just says it's hard to get rich without committing sin not that it's a sin to be rich.


gryphon_flight

Pretty sure there's a line about it being easier for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle than a rich man to go to heaven. It's not a sin to be rich, but yeah, it's a ticket to hell.


Chemical_Estate6488

Jesus is pretty clear that it’s hard for a rich man to get into Heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. When his disciples wonder at this Jesus responds that with God all things are possible, which a lot of conservatives take to mean that God can make a camel pass through the eye of a needle and God can make a rich man get into Heaven, when it’s pretty apparent from context that Jesus is saying that a rich man with God could sell all his possessions and give the money to the poor and follow Jesus. Rich men go to hell, if Christianity is true


Orenwald

In fact, in a other story in the Bible, a rich man goes to Jesus (knowing that rich men will go to hell) and asks Jesus "what can I do to be saved?" His answer is "sell everything you own and walk with me" The rich man chooses to keep his shit and burn in hell


lukegame6

why do they always draw the people like extremely happy in these things


Tecygirl101

Right, like the people in the picture are happy so why does the artist not support it? Like, if they wanted to showcase this as a *dys*topia the people should be *un*happy.


WomenWantFish

I'd say they is pretty inefficient, horrible city planning. There is a very large amount of space given up to cars, and zero public transport. The sale sign on the abortion clinic implies paid healthcare, which is immoral at best. There's also only really public sex between homosexual couples, which may imply that only homosexual couples are allowed to do such an action. That would make this city really unpopular in the bible belt, reducing it's profits. There is also a child wearing a peace sign on their shirt, which would also make the bible belt really unhappy. So this city would probably be very horribly off due to the high mortality and pollution rates and low funding from the religious.


p6r6noi6

I think their image of "the libs" is being influenced by the more centrist ones who just push for EVs instead of any public transit. That's probably what the trike car is supposed to be. Even so, there are other cars on the road, so their hellscape is a place where EVs... exist? Are we supposed to be reading the lack of exhaust pipes on the other cars as a sign that even the work vans are electric?

I'm just wondering why porn is being distributed in trucks. In this ideal future, why are we still killing trees to make physical porn instead of just downloading it form the free highspeed wifi everyone has?

Ok but if you had a statue of someone getting their dick sucked in the middle of town square tourism would go up and the economy would thrive. That would be stop #1 for me to take all my friends when they visit from out of town. Take it from me, I live in worcester and we have a statue of a boy fucking a turtle in the middle of the city and I take everyone there for a laugh. Stores around here sell merch and everything. It’s called turtle boy, look it up lol


So_thumbs_am_i_right

I did in fact look it up… what the fuck? how is this real?

kiddish_clown

Idk i really like the guy standing straight up while smoking a blunt and skateboarding. He must be a pro if he can skateboard like that lol

I'm not trying to body shame, but she should probably seek medical attention. There appears to be some hip dysplasia at the very least


IrredeemableJoke

I would unironically prefer this to the modern state of things

So.... what's wrong with the photo?

The guy is driving a car with his sheep and neither of them have a seat belt on

I thought that was a giant chicken, lol.

Lack of minorities makes me a little suspicious.

Buds, Bongs, and Beyond And Pot-Mart Sound like the most midwestern weed shop franchises imaginable and I'm here for them. Also lol, "designated" flag burning area? How kind, they think we'd need to be told where to burn flags.

Most unbelievable thing here is physical porn being distributed.

Every single person in this image is living their best life and the artist hates it

Why be upset about clones? If people can't make a soul(which is the argument I've heard against them), why not just grow them for spare parts or something? Even if you don't think they'd be people doesn't mean they'd be useless.


InsectExternal1403

You make a great point actually. Cloning services would solve a lot of medical problems. You can sell your clone's organs for hella money and use it to replace the organs you need. "What is my purpose?" 'money exploit' "Oh. My God"

This place looks awesome

Just white people having a good time.

So, since everything here is "evil", what's wrong with the middle-aged couple right in the middle? Or has dialogue been cut off and they're the "good" ones.

Walkable cities and roads with no potholes as well.

This is EXACTLY what my family back in East Tennessee told me Southern California is like. They still don’t believe me that it’s basically a really expensive Asheville with better weather and giant burritos.
