It’s Wednesday, which means Jesus and Mo Day. Today’s strip, called “power”, came with the email note, “Today, the lads believe they have won a critical victory.”
Jesus and Mo are taking a page from the Woke Playbook, and their argument, which seems stupid, actually is stupid (Pinker refuted it in several of his books). The boys know it, and revert to faith.
You can become a “patreon” of the strip for as little as $1 per month by going here. Twelve bucks a year for an artist who’s risking his life—the equivalent of 2.5 lattes. I call that a bargain (the strip, not the lattes).
Another brilliant strip!
It sounds so impressive when Mo says “structures of power and oppression” – so… visceral…
“We’re just going to stand here like this; thinking illogical thoughts about irrational beliefs.”
And if you offered your own illogical and unreasoned beliefs you would still be wrong (if you belonged to the wrong group).
I’m waiting for the post-absurdity revolution.
This strip makes an excellent point about the utter vapidity (is that a word?) of the wokish crap that reason and logic stem from white supremacy. I bet that if you posed the barmaid’s question to a wokie you’d get a response not unlike a Collie staring at fan.
The J&M argument comes down to: “We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it any more!”
I draw the conclusion they can’t move because of, shooting themselves in the foot… or they need to get thoroughly pissed to evade the implications of Mo’s 2nd comment.
Either way blind faith kills a good conversation with the barmaid… OR come back when they’re pissed.
Hold on, in our town serving pissed individuals is illegal. Damn it.
Are reason and logic western imperial constructs? Has no other culture ever managed to discover it for themselves?
Never mind, I’ve answered that question for myself. According to Wikipedia’s History of Logic page
I think it’s fairly obvious that any successful developed ancient culture must have used reason and logic. How do you know to build irrigation systems without reason and logic? How do you know how to build a pyramid without reason and logic?
